Acer Aspire 3935 (Core 2 Duo P7450 Processor 2.13GHz, 3GB RAM)

Review It's easy enough to find a thin, sexy 13.3-inch laptop such as the Dell Adamo or Apple MacBook. Finding one for less than S$2,000 is a little tougher as the base model aluminum MacBook starts at S$2,888 (yes, there's a S$1,598 plastic model, too). And HP's recent Pavilion dv3 is certainly...

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

Review Acer's new Timeline series of laptops, including the 13-inch Aspire 3810T, aims to combine the thin, sexy designs of more expensive laptops with cost-saving, low-power processors. But that's a direction many PC makers are moving in, thanks to budget-friendly CPUs such as the AMD Neo and Intel...

Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo processor 2.26GHz, 2GB, 13.3-inch TFT)

Review Radically overhauled last year, Apple's MacBook line of laptops moved to aluminum construction, edge-to-edge glass over LED displays, and oversize multitouch trackpads (with the exception of the lone S$1,589 white plastic model). The latest round of updates is more of a refinement than another...

HP Envy 13 (Core 2 Duo SU9600 Processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Even a cursory glance will tell you the HP Envy 13 is a very nicely made premium 13-inch laptop. It's a solid slab of aluminum and magnesium, etched with interesting visual details, and filled with capable components, such as a dual-core low-voltage Intel CPU and discrete ATI graphics. It's...

Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo processor 2.8GHz, 4GB, 15.4-inch TFT)

Review The latest round of MacBook revisions are nowhere near as radical as the aluminum unibody construction rolled out in late 2008. Instead, the 13-inch MacBook has been promoted to the Pro family, while the 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a handful of minor component upgrades. More important than that,...

Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo processor 2.53GHz, 4GB, 15.4-inch TFT)

Review With the new 13-inch MacBook looking and feeling more like the more expensive 15-inch MacBook Pro line than ever, it's harder to tell the difference between the two laptops. Both models feature a "unibody" aluminum chassis, a buttonless (or more accurately, all-button) trackpad, and edge-to-edge...

Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo processor 2.66GHz, 4GB, 17-inch TFT)

Review When the latest 13- and 15-inch MacBooks were announced in October 2008, a similar revamp of the larger 17-inch version of the MacBook Pro was conspicuously missing from the lineup. In January of 2009, Apple announced that the 17-inch model would be getting the same "unibody" aluminum chassis,...
