Sony VAIO X review

Review Sony's high-end VAIO X is built with essentially netbook components and makes an enviable conversation piece, but the price is high.

Intel's 2010 roadmap

Tech Guide From hardware-accelerated AES encryption via 32nm manufacturing to GPU integration and six cores, Intel's CPU roadmap holds great promise. The chip-maker's upcoming Larrabee 3D graphics processor remains short on detail though.

HP ProBook 4710s review

Review If you need plenty of screen and don't want to use an external monitor, this bulky 17.3in. notebook could be a good choice. It's a good performer, but HP could have added a few more ports and user-programmable keys.

VMware vSphere 4 review

VMware vSphere 4 review

Review The latest release of VMware's enterprise-level hypervisor and management suite raises the bar with the addition of built-in backup, thin provisioning and fault tolerance options. The combination of functionality and a proven track record makes vSphere 4 an excellent choice for high-end server virtualisation projects.

HTC Touch2 review

HTC Touch2 review

Review HTC's Touch2 has a relatively small screen and lacks an accelerometer. However, it's Windows Mobile 6.5 that really lets the side down.

Acer TravelMate Timeline 8371 review

Acer TravelMate Timeline 8371 review

Review The TravelMate 8371 is solidly built, although the degree of flex in the keyboard may annoy some users. If you need an integrated optical drive, look to one of the larger models. Otherwise, enjoy the excellent battery life.
