NOTEBOOK REVIEW

Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet review

		Product	Date	Editors' Rating	Members' Rating	Price
		Lenovo ThinkPad X200 It lacks some basic features such as a touchpad and an optical drive, but the 12.1in. ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen. With a variety of connectivity options and a roomy keyboard, the X200 makes a great ultraportable for mobile professionals.	19 Aug 2008	8.2
		Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-10H The Satellite Pro U400 has a number of strong points, but the battery life, in particular, is disappointing. It could be a good choice if you need a compact notebook that'll spend most of its time on the desktop. But mobile professionals needing a long-lived system away from mains power may want to look elsewhere.	01 Aug 2008	7.0		£649
		ASUS Eee PC 1000 The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for anyone requiring a highly portable notebook.	17 Jul 2008	8.8		£349
		GETAC B300 Like many seriously rugged notebooks, the B300 is an expensive piece of kit. We particularly like the 'sunlight readable' screen option and touch-screen capability, although its 4:3 aspect ratio makes this 13.3in. notebook seem a little dated.	10 Jul 2008	7.6		£3263
		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
