Lenovo ThinkPad X301 review

With a chassis that's just as ultra-slim and feather-light as the X300, the Lenovo ThinkPad X301 adds Intel's latest Centrino 2 platform, including the just-released ultra-low-voltage Core 2 Duo processor. This makes it faster than its predecessor and much longer-lasting than its competitors Read more

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 review

The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 thin-and-light laptop is the sleekest ThinkPad yet. It incorporates the best of the latest featherweight laptops -- a solid-state hard drive, lots of ports and a thin skin -- and adds its own features, from WWAN to a built-in DVD burner Read more

Asus UX30 review

Asus' designers clearly had Apple's MacBook Air in mind when they created the 13.3-inch UX30 thin-and-light laptop. It bears a steep price tag and its battery life could be better, but it's a gorgeous-looking specimen and its ultra-low-voltage processor makes it a strong performer too Read more

Dell Adamo XPS review

A real tentpole of Dell's new focus on high-end design, the Adamo XPS is an innovative take on the super-thin laptop. With a large lid that raises the keyboard to aid typing when it's opened, it's certainly a conversation piece. But is it worth the trade-off in battery life and price? Read more

MSI X340 review

If you think the MacBook Air is too expensive and netbooks are too small, the 13-inch, super-light, super-thin X340 will be worth investigating. The keyboard and battery life aren't overly impressive, but it’s got good connectivity and its looks will certainly get you drooling Read more

Toshiba Portege R700 review

The Toshiba Portege R700 is an impressively portable laptop, both in terms of size and weight. But we've seen cheaper machines that offer better displays and performance than our R700-160 configuration. Read more
