Sony VAIO P review

		Product	Date	Editors' Rating	Members' Rating	Price
		Lenovo ThinkPad X100e The netbook-like ThinkPad X100e has a high-resolution 11.6in. screen and an excellent keyboard. Its AMD Athlon Neo X2 MV-40 processor helps to deliver better performance than the average netbook, but battery life could be longer.	02 Mar 2010	7.5		£360
		Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 The S500 is a solidly made 15.6in. notebook that, at 2.54kg, is not particularly portable. Processor performance is good, but battery life could be better.	23 Feb 2010	7.3		£549
		Toshiba Satellite Pro U500 The Satellite Pro U500 is a chunky but solidly built notebook. Unfortunately its weight and disappointing battery life make it less portable than a 13.3in. thin-and-light system should be.	04 Feb 2010	7.1		£599
		Toshiba Satellite Pro T130 The ultraportable Satellite Pro T130 could deliver all-day computing with appropriate usage patterns and power management settings. But its keyboard could be better, it lacks an optical drive and the glossy chassis design may not be to all tastes.	01 Feb 2010	7.4		£549
		Lenovo ThinkPad Edge With a relatively affordable starting price and a new design, the ThinkPad Edge loosens up the ThinkPad look. However, the lack of an optical drive just keeps it from being a top-choice compact business notebook.	14 Jan 2010	7.2		£703
		HP ProBook 5310m Business users looking for a touch of ultraportable elegance might be drawn to the ProBook 5310m for its chassis design, well-made keyboard and superb 13.3in. screen. The absence of an optical drive may be a deal-breaker for some though.	11 Jan 2010	7.6		£616
		HP ProBook 4310s The ProBook 4310s is an unremarkable 13.3in. notebook that's bulkier than we'd like and delivers disappointing battery life. The price is competitive, though, and the keyboard is comfortable to use.	09 Nov 2009	7.0		£641
		Sony VAIO X Sony's high-end VAIO X is built with essentially netbook components and makes an enviable conversation piece, but the price is high.	05 Nov 2009	7.9		£1359
		HP ProBook 4710s 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.	04 Nov 2009	7.6		£815
