Rise of the high-def Netbooks - Sep 1, 2009
Features One new area where Netbooks have been able to offer a clear reason for stepping up to a more expensive system is with a high-definition display. Read story »
ThinkPad T400s (touchscreen) (Core 2 Duo Processor SP9600 2.53GHz, 3GB RAM)
Review 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...
7.8Video: Watch Dell Adamo XPS' heat-sensing strip in action - Oct 23, 2009
Crave The Dell Adamo XPS isn't only ridiculously thin, it opens like no laptop ever seen before. Its propped-up keyboard can only be opened by sliding a finger on the lid's ... Read story »Sony Vaio shoots for the stars - Nov 4, 2009
Crave Feeling a little spaced out? Sony has a limited-edition Vaio that may suit your mood. The Nebula FW, part of Sony's Signature Collection, features an intergalactic theme that really makes us ... Read story »
Nokia Booklet 3G (Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz processor; 1GB RAM)
Review Mobile phone maker Nokia is jumping into the Netbook pool with its recently announced Booklet 3G laptop, offering a premium-feeling system at a rock-bottom price, as long as you agree to a mobile data contract. The Booklet 3G is easily one of the nicest-looking Netbooks we've seen. Also a...
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 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 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...
Sony Vaio VPC-W115XG/P (Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)
Review Sony's first foray in to the world of Atom-powered laptops was the Vaio P-series Lifestyle PC, which sported a unique miniaturized design (about the same footprint as a standard business envelope), but was hampered by input issues (no touchpad) and the use of Windows Vista as its OS. At...
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...Sony releases details on the new Vaio NW series - Jun 22, 2009
Crave Sony's press conference earlier revealed details of the company's Blu-ray strategy and introduced a new laptop in the Vaio NW series. We talked to Sony about the new system a ... Read story »
Sony Vaio VGN-Z46GD (Core 2 Duo P9700 Processor 2.8GHz, 6GB RAM)
Review Its predecessor, the Vaio SZ series, was one of the first to sport both integrated and discrete graphics chipsets. However, at that time switching between the two required the laptop to be restarted. But when the Centrino 2 platform with its hybrid graphics capabilities came about, the new Vaio...
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;...Jump to page: [1]
