Lenovo IdeaPad S12 review

With a great full-size keyboard and bright, crisp 12-inch screen, the IdeaPad S12 combines the look and feel of a laptop with the performance and price of a netbook. We'd like to see it sporting a more powerful processor but it offers a good compromise between the two categories Read more

ViewSonic ViewBook Pro review

The 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro borrows heavily from Apple's MacBook Pro in terms of design, but it costs significantly less. As long as you don't push it too hard, it'll make a decent travel companion. It also packs some useful extras, such as a fingerprint reader that lets you log into your favourite Web sites without a password Read more

Sony Vaio Y series (VPCY11M1E/S) review

The slender, 13.3-inch Vaio VPCY11M1E/S won't make you yelp with excitement when it comes to performance, but it is very comfortable to use, with an excellent keyboard. Its funky bundled software also allows you to share media between the laptop and other devices, such as a PlayStation 3 or television Read more

Advent Verona review

The thin-and-light Verona laptop has an ultra-low-voltage processor, a 13.3-inch screen and a decidedly budget price tag. As such, you can't expect top-notch performance, but, if you need a lightweight machine for Office-type tasks, it may well fit the bill. It's fairly attractive too Read more

Acer Ferrari 1100 review

Love supercars? Love laptops? Let us introduce you to the Acer Ferrari 1100. A spacious hard drive and healthy portion of RAM help to make up its strengths. While this thin-and-light's styling might not appeal to everyone, Formula One fans will certainly be in heaven Read more

Advent Altro review

The 13.3-inch Altro is an unashamed attempt to emulate the MacBook Air. Considering it's almost half the price, it doesn't do too bad a job. Offering 3GB of RAM, strong wireless capabilities and a good keyboard, it's worth a look for those after a relatively cheap thin-and-light laptop Read more

Fujitsu LifeBook T900 review

The 13.3-inch Fujitsu LifeBook T900 has an excellent touchscreen and is a fast performer, but its poor battery life and chunky design let it down. Read more

Samsung X420 review

An ultraportable laptop that boasts impressive battery life, a 14-inch screen and a delightfully lightweight frame, the Samsung X420 has much to recommend it. But with high-end netbooks proving more and more compelling, does it do enough to justify its price? Read more

Acer TravelMate Timeline 8481T review

The Acer TravelMate Timeline 8481T boasts a slim design -- albeit with a bulging battery -- a slim bezel, fair performance and security extras making it a good choice for the business-minded. Read more
