Sony Ericsson T707

Review Amongst the growing hordes of stern-looking business smartphones, the T707 is a fashionable breath of fresh air. Editors' note:This review is based on tests done by our sister site CNET.com.au. As such, please note that there may be slight differences in the testing procedure and ratings...

Fujitsu LifeBook T5010 (Core 2 Duo P8600 Processor 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Fujitsu's LifeBook T5010 comes from the same stable as the T1010. Like the latter, it's a relatively large and heavy 13.3-inch convertible tablet PC. Unlike the T1010, the T5010 includes an active touchscreen rather than a passive unit and a wider range of processors. The T5010 is available for...

Toshiba Portege M900 (Core 2 Duo P8700 Processor 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM)

Review The Portege M900 is the first model in Toshiba's new Signature series. This range (launched concurrently with the Premier series for its Satellite laptops) seeks to bring a touch of class to the design of its business-centric portables. The idea behind this line is that since a significant...

Acer Aspire 8935G (Core 2 Quad Q9000 Processor 2.0GHz, 4GB RAM)

Review To say we hate the term "cheap and good" whenever we are asked to recommend a laptop does not even begin to describe the depths of disdain we have for that cliche. Most of the time, you can't have it both ways. However, Acer, well-known for offering excellent feature-to-price models, has outdone...

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...

Dell Adamo (Core 2 Duo U9300 Processor 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Dell initially teased the existence of its upscale 13-inch Adamo laptop at CES 2009, and formally announced details and ordering availability two months later. We previously had a chance to get our hands on a preproduction version of the system, and have now been able to test the finished...

Lenovo ThinkPad SL400 (Core 2 Duo Processor T5670 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Take the ThinkPad R series, remove the internal roll cage and the TPM chip, add dedicated GeForce graphics, an HDMI port, and a glossy lid, and you get the ThinkPad SL400. This 14-inch laptop is Lenovo's play for small business buyers, trading in enterprise features such as the aforementioned...

Gateway MC7822G (Core 2 Duo P7350 Processor 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review One look at the Gateway MC7822G, and you'd think it belonged in the high-end group of retail laptops. A slick maroon lid opens to reveal an HD-friendly, 16-inch display with edge-to-edge glass; beneath it sits a backlit keyboard and sleek, glowing light-touch controls. Yet the Gateway MC7822G's...

Gateway MC7813G (Core 2 Duo P7350 Processor 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review One look at the Gateway MC7813G, and you'd think it belonged in the high-end group of retail laptops. A slick black lid opens to reveal an HD-friendly, 16-inch display with edge-to-edge glass; beneath it sits a backlit keyboard and sleek, glowing light-touch controls. Yet the Gateway MC7813G's...

Sony Vaio VGN-P15G (Intel Atom Z530 Processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Sony likes to keep its Vaio products aimed at mid- to high-end buyers--much like Apple does--and generally eschews the budget end of the market (although there are a handful of less expensive Vaios we've reviewed favorably). When it comes to Intel-Atom-powered systems, it's no different;...

HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review Even though the HP Mini 1000 is only a few months old, Hewlett-Packard was actually an early player in the Netbook field. The company's business system side came up with the Mini-Note 2133 in spring 2008, with a solid, brushed-metal chassis and a nearly full-size keyboard. Unfortunately, this...
