Alienware M17x (Core 2 Quad QX9300 Processor 2.53GHz, 8GB RAM)
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...

Alienware M15x (Core i7-720QM Processor 1.6GHz, 3GB RAM)
Review 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...
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.

BlackBerry Bold 9700
Review It's been about a year since the original RIM BlackBerry Bold made its debut, and while it remains a very solid device, it's about time that a flashier, faster model took over the reigns. And that device would be the RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700. Not only is it T-Mobile's first 3G BlackBerry, but its...SITEX 2009: Notebook - Nov 25, 2009

Review 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...
Sony Vaio VPC-X118LG/B (Intel Atom Z550 Processor 2GHz, 2GB RAM)
Review While PC makers are focused on the low-cost market, Sony doesn't seem to be very interested in this segment. The Japanese maker is well-known for its cutting-edge designs and the Vaio X series is the epitome of that passion. In fact, the first impression one gets is that this Vaio is just a...
Asus Eee PC 1101HA (Intel Atom Z520 Processor 1.33GHz, 1GB RAM)

The company has subsequently done a good job of refining and expanding on the Netbook experience, with systems such as the slim Eee PC 1005HA and the touchscreen Eee PC T91.
