For over seven years, Gateway did not have a regional presence since leaving the Asian market. In 2007, Taiwanese maker Acer acquired this brand and it was only last December that Gateway-branded machines returned, starting with Singapore. The company's initial offerings might be limited to a...

The portable gaming market is very niche. Though virtual play has been steadily increasing in popularity, the savvy player knows that it's more economical to purchase a gaming desktop rather than a laptop. This is because the former can easily be upgraded to future technology while the latter is...

The Asus M50 series is part of the Taiwanese maker's entertainment lineup. As such, it incorporates a variety of multimedia features such as Altec Lansing speakers, high-end graphics card and Blu-ray combo drive. But what we did not expect for a laptop at this price range is the huge 500GB of...

The HP Pavilion dm series is the first ultrathin range in the company's consumer entertainment lineup and consists of the 11.6-inch dm1 and 13.3-inch dm3. The trademarks of an ultrathin laptop are the omission of an optical drive as well as the use of AMD Neo or Intel CULV chips. The Pavilion...

Whether CULV laptops will ever fully find a spot between the Netbook world and the full-featured notebook world, they are most definitely a category that's growing everyday. Dropping an optical drive and adding a low-voltage processor alongside a long-lasting battery are the trends of 2009,...
Review
This year has undoubtedly been defined if not by Netbooks, then by the growth of affordable thin laptops that shed the size--and even optical drive--in an effort to provide a more portable, larger-screen computer. Whereas this used to be the domain of highly expensive "executive" machines, such...
Features With Netbooks, ultrathins and budget laptops crowding the low-cost notebook market, how will it affect consumer choice in the coming year?

Lenovo's IdeaPad S10 Netbook was one of the most popular budget minilaptops for good reasons: Its business-friendly tools, ExpressCard slot, and reasonable price all made it a great option for consumers or corporate users.
Now, another revision is available that effectively replaces the...

Everything about the Sony Vaio VGN-NW25GF/B is pleasing. For starters, it looks good and unlike its glossy plastic shelfmates, the textured chassis doesn't feel cheap or end up covered in fingerprints from simply picking it up. It's well-configured for general home and office duties and the port...

Keeping the same revised look and feel as the recent 17-inch M17x version, the Alienware M15x is an imposing black slab of computing power that's thicker and heavier than most 17-inch laptops.
We love having high-end options such as Intel's uberpowerful Core i7-920XM CPU, and it's a plus...
Review
In the battle for Netbook market share supremacy, Intel's Atom CPU stands nearly unchallenged despite a handful of offerings with AMD and Via CPUs. So it's surprising we found so much to like about the 11.6-inch Gateway LT3104g. This uses an AMD Athlon 64 L110 1.2GHz processor to provide a...
Review
With a brand-new look and some of the highest-end tech available in a laptop, we're semi surprised that Alienware has kept the M17x name for its newest 17-inch laptop (even if it loses the X-Files-esque "Area-51" moniker). While the system starts at a reasonable S$3,499, you'll need to configure...
Review
The Netbook wars have heated up with PC makers adding upscale features such as larger HD displays and faster low-voltage CPUs to systems in an effort to push prices past the usual S$499 to S$699 range.
We've seen HD Netbooks from Sony and others, usually with prices closer to S$899, so...
