Dell Inspiron Mini 10v (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review The "v" in the Dell Mini 10v's name is seemingly there to indicate value for thrifty Netbook shoppers. The system is in many ways hard to distinguish from its more expensive cousin and is one of the better sub-S$700 Netbook packages we've seen. It does, however, lack the high-end...

Toshiba Satellite T135 (Pentium ULV SU2700 Processor 1.3GHz, 3GB RAM)

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. The...

Asus W90Vp (Core 2 Duo T9600 Processor 2.8GHz, 6GB RAM)

Review 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,...

Asus UL50 (Core 2 Duo ULV SU7300 Processor 1.3GHz, 4GB RAM)

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...

Sony Vaio VGN-NW25GF/B (Core 2 Duo T6600 Processor 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review 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...

Lenovo IdeaPad U350 (Core 2 Duo SU9400 processor 1.4GHz; 2GB RAM)

Review 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...

Lenovo ThinkPad SL510 (Core 2 Duo Processor P 8700 2.5GHz, 3GB RAM)

Review 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...

HP Mini 311 (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 2GB RAM)

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...

Sony Walkman NWZ-S545 (16GB)

Review Trying to stand out from the crowd is not easy. Sony has opted to give the new S-540 series a bigger screen and a pair of built-in stereo speakers. Is this the sparkle that the E-440 is missing?

Acer Ferrari One (Athlon X2 L310 Processor 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Like the cars on which it's based, the Acer Ferrari One is designed to be fast, fun to use and good-looking, while remaining relatively affordable compared with its predecessors. But does this S$1,298 minilaptop, which will be available in late October, live up to the legendary Scuderia Ferrari...

Samsung I7500

Review Samsung has delivered its own little green robot into the world. That's right, smartphone fans, the company's first Android handset, the Galaxy I7500, has been born. Samsung has given it some of the features it does best, like a vivid AMOLED screen and a good quality camera, but it's left Android...

BlackBerry Storm 2

Review The BlackBerry Storm 2 brings some welcome additions such as Wi-Fi, updated software, and a better touch interface.

Apple iPod touch (32GB; third generation)

Review With no noticeable change in design, does the third-generation iPod touch still have what it takes to remain on top?

Motorola Milestone

Review You have to hand it to Verizon Wireless: Though the Google Android operating system now extends to a handful of devices, the carrier was able to get the tech world "excited" about its first Android phone. First known as the Sholes, the Motorola Droid swirled into the gadget rumor mill this summer....
