Maxdata Pro 7000X review

Maxdata Pro 7000X review

Review The Pro 7000X is well priced, but other notebooks deliver a more compact form factor or more power for a similar price. Buy it if you need long battery life and don't mind a bit of bulk and weight.

Asus S1N review

Asus S1N review

Review The ultraportable S1N from Asus will suit mobile users who don't need fast 3D graphics or particularly long battery life. You'll also need to be happy with an external optical drive.

Editors Choice Award Dell Latitude D400 review

Dell Latitude D400 review

Review Dell's Latitude D400 is one of the best-equipped ultraportables we've tested. It's a wise addition for companies looking to upgrade their mobile workforces.

Acer Aspire 1705 SCi review

Acer Aspire 1705 SCi review

Review A notebook on steroids, the Aspire 1705 SCi has a 3.06GHz desktop-class processor, a 17in. display and a full-size keyboard. It’s worth considering for company meeting rooms or home use, but there are credible alternatives for both scenarios.

Samsung X05 XTC 1500 review

Review This is an excellent notebook. If anything, the cheaper XTC 1400 model offers even better value, but in either case you get plenty for your money.

IBM ThinkPad G40 review

IBM ThinkPad G40 review

Review Notebooks powered by desktop processors are nothing new, but the ThinkPad G40 is an affordable, practical desktop replacement. Having IBM’s weight behind it doesn’t hurt either, if you are wary of lesser brands.

Editors Choice Award IBM ThinkPad T40 review

IBM ThinkPad T40 review

Review This thin-and-light notebook isn't the speediest Pentium M/Centrino system, but it offers very good battery life and many outstanding features.

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook S-6120 review

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook S-6120 review

Review The S-6120 is an attractively designed sub-2kg notebook with exemplary mainstream performance. However, demanding applications could be held back by its integrated graphics, battery life is disappointing and the price is on the high side.

Acer’s 17in.-screen notebook

Acer’s 17in.-screen notebook

Preview The Aspire 1700 from Acer is the first Windows-based notebook with a 17in. display. So what's the attraction of this 7kg monster? We take a first look.


Apple PowerBook G4 (1GHz, 17in. TFT) review

Apple PowerBook G4 (1GHz, 17in. TFT) review

Review The 17in. PowerBook is sexy, and it comes with great extras, but it's not much faster than the Titanium model.

Evesham Voyager Xi review

Evesham Voyager Xi review

Review The Voyager Xi delivers the Centrino promise of power, extended battery life and seamlessly integrated wireless LAN. But there are compromises, notably in the choice of integrated Intel 855GM graphics and the overall build quality.

NEC Versa S900 review

NEC Versa S900 review

Review There is already some stiff competition in the Pentium M/Centrino market, and although the Versa S900 has its good points, it doesn't really deliver across the board.

Rating: 7.4 Editors' Rating


NEC Versa T400 review

NEC Versa T400 review

Review The slate-style Versa T400 is the thinnest and lightest Tablet PC we've seen so far, but this 933MHz Mobile Pentium III-M system's performance and battery life both need to improve.

Apple MacBook Air: a first look

Apple MacBook Air: a first look

The MacBook Air is not quite an ultraportable, but it is exceptionally thin. Retaining the same 13.3in. display as the current MacBook line, it tapers from 1.94cm thick to just 0.4cm. Apple calls it the 'world's thinnest notebook'.
