Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 review

Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 review

Review The Toughbook CF-52 is a solidly built 'semi-ruggedised' notebook, with a hardened outer casing, shock-mounted hard disk and covered ports. However, this 3.3kg system isn't the most portable of notebooks and its battery life falls a long way short of Panasonic's claims.

Editors Choice Award ASUS Eee PC 900 review

ASUS Eee PC 900 review

Review The ASUS Eee PC 900 is an excellent update to the Eee PC 701. The keyboard is still difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, higher-resolution screen, a multi-touch touchpad and more storage gives it the edge over its mini-notebook rivals.

Toshiba Portégé M700-110 review

Toshiba Portégé M700-110 review

Review The Portégé M700-110 is a generally solid 12.1in. convertible Tablet PC with a nice dual-mode touch-screen. It's a good choice for Tablet PC fans; if you need HSDPA or a webcam, it's a relatively small step up to the 3G11F model.

Panasonic Toughbook Executive CF-T7 review

Panasonic Toughbook Executive CF-T7 review

Review The 'business ruggedized' CF-T7 could easily pass as a standard notebook, but the extra-strong chassis, shock-mounted hard drive and spill-resistant keyboard should all help to cushion it from the rigours of life on the road.

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC review

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC review

Review Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it a favourite for on-the-go use.

Itronix GoBook MR-1 review

Itronix GoBook MR-1 review

Review Small of format and impressively rugged of build, the GoBook MR-1 can withstand a lot of abuse in the field. Unfortunately, your wallet will also have to take some punishment if you choose to buy it.

Intel Classmate PC (9in.) review

Review Intel has tweaked the Classmate PC to appeal to first-world schoolchildren, and it now offers an experience on a par with mini-notebooks such as the ASUS Eee.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 review

Review The ThinkPad X300 breaks new ground by packing a broad display, a full-size keyboard and nearly every feature a mobile user needs into a sleek, lightweight case.

OLPC XO review

OLPC XO review

Review A work in progress rather than a finished product, the XO has much to recommend it. However, there are substantive issues to address if it's to live up to its creators' lofty ideals in practice.

Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 review

Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 review

Review The U300 is available in a wide range of configurations, making it a flexible option. The build quality could be better in places and the keyboard is distinctly spongy. It's a good performer, though, and nicely designed.

HP Compaq 6720s review

HP Compaq 6720s review

Review The 6720s is a budget business notebook that could fit the bill if you don't need serious CPU or graphics power, and are likely to spend most of your time in the office rather than on the road.

Apple MacBook Air (1.8GHz) review

Apple MacBook Air (1.8GHz) review

Review The design is revolutionary, but Apple's MacBook Air will appeal to a smaller, more specialised audience than the standard MacBook, thanks to a stripped-down set of connections and features.
