Before Samsung left the Asia-Pacific market in 2006, the position of its laptops was clearly aimed at the lifestyle set who don't mind paying a premium for slim and sleek notebooks. This was fine back when even budget laptops cost over S$1,800 and were considered a significant investment. Fast...

Without proceeding further, I am about to make a guess: You have already decided you're buying a ThinkPad. The iconic brand, the unending combination of professional respect, solid features, and unabashed blandness combine to make a product that has surprising appeal across the board, yet...

MSI may be a major player in the PC component business, but when it comes to the international notebook market it does not have the same market share as Acer, another Taiwanese vendor. This is probably a reflection on the lack of mind share as MSI machines are not simply copies but feature...

Lenovo's ThinkPad brand is virtually synonymous with business laptops, and the company (like IBM before it) has spent years perfecting the nondescript black-box system with its iconic TrackPoint and double set of mouse buttons.
We liked the 14-inch T400s ("s" for "slim") when we first saw...

The HP ProBook 5310m is the Palo Alto company's pioneer in the M series which goes for a sleek profile by omitting an internal optical drive and going with a low-powered processor. In other words, the focus is on portability and long battery life. It shares part of its DNA with...

While it's hard for us to weigh design over performance when looking at a laptop, products such as the Lenovo IdeaPad U350 make it a little easier. As another entry in the growing field of affordable CULV machines, the compact and really great-looking U350 is Lenovo's answer to the MacBook in...

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,...

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...
Review
Thin-and-light laptops may look similar, but they're not all made the same. It's a deceptive world out there, especially since many thin-and-lights trade performance for a stylishly slim chassis, all while marketing a mainstream look that suggests performance equal to other notebooks.

If you're on the fence deciding between buying a desktop gaming PC and monitor or going with a less powerful but more mobile laptop, let us introduce you to the Asus W90Vp. It isn't much to look at as gaming notebooks go. But it has everything we expect and more in the features department,...
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...
Review
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...

While we're still unsure of what Dell's goal was when it combined the midrange Studio and high-end XPS laptop lines into the new (wait for it...) Studio XPS brand, but at least it means we're finally getting a true 16:9 16-inch laptop from Dell, in the form of the Studio XPS 16.

Dell is one of the most popular computer brands worldwide, and a default choice for many shoppers. Located right in the middle of the company's lineup, the Dell Inspiron 15 is one of the most versatile and affordable midrange laptops, offering configurations for as low as S$899. We tried a...
