| Review summary | The Packard Bell EasyNote XS could have been a very good laptop but falls short in several key areas. The mouse input is awful, the performance is below par and it's frankly too expensive to be a serious competitor to the Eee PC Read full review |
The D420's reliable performance, battery life and ability to get online at broadband speeds, with or without a Wi-Fi hotspot, make it one of the best ultra-portable laptops we've ever seen Read full review |
Ridiculously pricey, but the VGNTZ11XN/B.CEK is a stunning example of what an ultra-portable laptop should be. It has good battery life, it's highly portable and it's packed with features Read full review |
With 3G, Wi-Fi, good performance and extremely long battery life, plus being small and beautifully formed, the TZ21WN is Sony's best ultraportable yet, although it doesn't come cheap Read full review |
