Sharp Actius MV1214 review

Review Over four hours’ battery life and decent performance stand the Actius MV 1214 in good stead, as does its build. Enlarge the keyboard a bit and reduce the price, and it would be even better.

Psion NetBook Pro review

Psion NetBook Pro review

Review The NetBook Pro looks like a mini-notebook, yet runs the handheld-orientated Windows CE .NET 4.2 OS. Although it’s primarily aimed at corporate mobile workforces, we think it could have wider appeal.

Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 review

Review Given its sub-£500 (ex. VAT) price, the Satellite Pro A10 is pretty impressive. Choose it if you need a budget notebook for everyday tasks -- but be aware of its limitations.

Review The ultraportable Latitude X300 exudes business appeal, with its speed, elegance and good support. However, it definitely needs a second battery and cheaper memory.
