NOTEBOOK REVIEW

Sony VAIO PCG-TR1MP review

		Product	Date	Editors' Rating	Members' Rating	Price
		Acer Aspire One The Acer Aspire One is better than most netbooks. It's fantastic for anyone requiring a small, cheap machine for basic productivity tasks. However, the battery life lets it down slightly.	24 Jun 2008	8.6		£220
		ASUS Eee PC 901 The Eee PC 901 is better than its predecessor, the 900. It looks nicer, has a faster, more efficient CPU and better battery life. It's larger and 100g heavier and its keyboard is still too small for our liking, but in many ways it's the pick of the 'netbook' litter.	18 Jun 2008	8.8		£319
		Dell Latitude XT This is a handsome and very usable Tablet PC, thanks to its excellent screen and keyboard. Battery life and performance are both a little disappointing, though, and the price becomes steep as you add in the options.	17 Jun 2008	7.6		£1129
		HTC Shift The HTC Shift is not without interesting features, but its sluggishness under Windows Vista and high price will rule it out for many mobile professionals, who now have a range of attractive alternatives to choose from.	29 May 2008	6.1		£999
		Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 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.	30 Apr 2008	7.0		£1291
		ASUS Eee PC 900 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.	17 Apr 2008	8.7		£329
		Toshiba Portégé M700-110 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.	15 Apr 2008	7.5		£949
		Panasonic Toughbook Executive CF-T7 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.	11 Apr 2008	7.6		£1808
		HP 2133 Mini-Note PC 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.	09 Apr 2008	7.5		£299
