Review Summary |
If your idea of a design classic is anything out of a Need for Speed body-shop, then the ASUS G2 is right up your street. It has plenty of power and parts that light up just for the sake of it. However, the graphics subsystem, while more than adequate, isn't the best we could have hoped for in a gaming laptop. |
HP's entertainment notebook not only delivers in features, but also goes the extra mile to redesigning the chassis to appeal to those with unconventional tastes. |
The Acer Ferrari One's appearance will polarise opinion, but there's no denying it's the finest Netbook so far. It's quick, it's versatile and it's fabulously comfortable to use. |
Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a 6-plus hour battery life. |
