With this S$988 model, Apple adds significantly improved Nvidia graphics, a new 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and a larger hard drive. Those changes are welcome, and we're also...

Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TG (Core 2 Duo SU9400 Processor 1.4GHz, 4GB RAM)

Review When the first Acer Aspire Timeline series as released in mid-2009, it changed the landscape of portable computing.

Apple MacBook Air (Core 2 Duo processor 1.86GHz, 2GB, 13.3-inch TFT)

Review If you weren't convinced by the last-generation MacBook Air, the late 2008 model will do nothing to change your mind. There's still no optical drive, no Ethernet port, only one USB port, the fixed battery is still present and there's no 3G support. It still has its positives--the extremely thin...

Samsung BD-P1600 Blu-ray player

Review Samsung was the first manufacturer with a standalone Blu-ray player, but in 2008 it often felt like the company was struggling to keep up with Panasonic.

iiView A2 (Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review For a small startup, Singapore-based iiView's first foray into the Netbook arena is surprisingly not another uninspired "me-too" minilaptop. From the get go, the iiView A2's design took a page (more like the entire book) from Apple's MacBook Air. The sleek form factor and generous 12.1-inch...

Review The Asus UX series is the Taiwanese maker's first foray into the Intel CULV segment, which seeks to offer sleek thin-and-lights at an affordable price point.

Gigabyte M1022M Booktop (Intel Atom N280 processor 1.66GHz; 1GB RAM)

Review On the surface, the Booktop seems to be just another Atom-based 10-inch minilaptop from a minor player. But while Gigabyte is better known for manufacturing mainboards than laptops, we were impressed that the M1022M managed to stand out from the crowd during our testing. In fact, it could be the...
