HTC Advantage X7510 review

HTC Advantage X7510 review

Review Although it has a number of attractive features, we can't recommend the Advantage X7510 as a replacement for either a notebook computer or a conventional smartphone. It's also expensive if viewed as an adjunct to either device.

Intel X-25M solid-state drive (80GB) review

Review Intel's X-25M solid-state drive enjoys several advantages over both conventional disk drives and other SSDs, including improvements to data throughput, boot time and notebook battery life. If you can forget about the cost, this is by far the fastest data drive available.

Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 review

Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 review

Review The ThinkPad SL500 is attractively priced, solidly built and a good performer. We're particularly impressed with the high-resolution 15.4in. screen. However, there are one or two design quirks, the webcam is basic and battery life could be longer.

Dell Latitude E6500 review

Review The Latitude E6500 is an attractive 15.4in. notebook, not least because you can configure it to closely match your needs. The backlit keyboard is well executed, and we also like the auto-adjusting screen brightness.

E-TEN Glofiish V900 review

E-TEN Glofiish V900 review

Review The Glofiish V900's USP is its integrated digital TV tuner, which unfortunately doesn't perform well when on the move. Otherwise, it's a well-specified Windows Mobile handheld.
