ThinkPad X41 review

Review Although it's costly and no faster than the ThinkPad X40, the ultraportable ThinkPad X41 is still a great choice for the mobile professional.

Fujitsu Siemens Stylistic ST5022 review

Review Fujitsu Siemens' top-of-the-range slate-style Tablet PC packs in plenty of features and is generally well designed. But it's pricey, runs hot and could prove a bit bulky and heavy for extended mobile use.

Toshiba Libretto U100 review

Review Toshiba's tiny 1kg Libretto U100 (1.4kg with the docking base) may be just too small for many people to use effectively, but it's a triumph of design and engineering. The only hefty thing about it is the price tag.

Apple PowerBook G4 (17in., SuperDrive) review

Review The foxy Apple 17in. PowerBook delivers the performance and the features most users will need, but it's more expensive than a similarly outfitted Windows notebook.

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook E8020 review

Review Although its design is distinctly uninspiring, the LifeBook E8020 is an excellent performer with a good set of features. This is a solid sub-3kg desktop replacement system that can, at a pinch, be taken on your travels.
