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...

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...

The latest round of MacBook revisions are nowhere near as radical as the aluminum unibody construction rolled out in late 2008. Instead, the 13-inch MacBook has been promoted to the Pro family, while the 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a handful of minor component upgrades. More important than that,...
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...

The original Acer Aspire 8920G was the very first 18-inch laptop we had a chance to review, and the follow-up Acer Aspire 8930G is similar in terms of its essentials, with only a handful of component upgrades.
The display has the same native resolution as a 1080p HDTV. Coupled with a unique...

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...

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...

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...

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.
The...

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...
Crave Hardly a day goes by without some form of feverish speculation gripping the Web about the existence of a tablet computing device from Apple. While most of these echo-chamber blog posts ...

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...

On the surface, the Booktop seems to be just another Atom-based 10-inch minilaptop from a minor player. But while Gigabyte is better known for manufacturing mainboards than laptops, we were impressed that the M1022M managed to stand out from the crowd during our testing. In fact, it could be the...
