Review The Q35 is a nicely designed ultraportable notebook whose wide-screen display and good-quality keyboard give it plenty of appeal. Most of all, though, mobile professionals will appreciate the Q35's excellent battery life.

Sony VAIO UX180P: a first look

Preview Can Sony save the Ultra Mobile PC? Although it's not officially a UMPC, or officially available in the UK, the VAIO UX180P is worth keeping an eye on.


Samsung Q1 review

Samsung Q1 review

Review Samsung's Q1, the first Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC), lacks the portability of a handheld and falls short of the functionality of a notebook. Unfortunately, it doesn't add anything that would compensate for these failings.

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook E8210 review

Asus V6J review

Asus V6J review

Review The Asus V6J is a 'thin and light' notebook with a 15in. screen, running Intel's Core Duo T2400 processor. It looks good, is generally well designed and performs very well indeed. However, we'd like to see a bit more battery life.

Samsung M70 review

Samsung M70 review

Review Perhaps the ultimate desktop replacement notebook, Samsung's M70 has a detachable 19in. screen, a separate monitor stand and a full-sized keyboard with a separate number pad. If you want to take it on your travels, you'll need a suitcase.
