Dell Adamo XPS review
A real tentpole of Dell's new focus on high-end design, the Adamo XPS is an innovative take on the super-thin laptop. With a large lid that raises the keyboard to aid typing when it's opened, it's certainly a conversation piece. But is it worth the trade-off in battery life and price? Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, spring 2010) review
Apple's latest 15-inch MacBook Pros look similar to their predecessors in terms of appearance, but their innards have received a welcome power boost. We'd still like to see an HDMI port, Blu-ray drive and 3G connectivity, but the high-end model that we reviewed delivered pleasingly powerful performance Read more

Archos 9 PC Tablet review
Running Windows 7 and sporting an 8.9-inch resistive touchscreen, the Archos 9 PC Tablet certainly looks the part, although a speedier processor would've been welcome. It does many things that Apple's iPad can't and we reckon it'll prove cheaper, but which tablet will be top dog remains to be seen Read more

HP Mini 5102 review
The 10.1-inch Mini 5102 is an updated version of one of yesteryear's better netbooks, the Mini 5101. While it doesn't really deliver any performance improvements, it's a solidly built machine that now offers a number of configuration options, including a touchscreen Read more

Eee PC 1005PE review
The 10.1-inch Eee PC 1005PE is the first netbook we've seen with Intel's next-gen Atom N450 CPU. This chip doesn't offer a massive performance boost over previous Atom offerings, but it does contribute to this system's excellent battery life, and the 1005PE is a handsome machine to boot Read more

Alienware M15x review
Capable of being configured to your heart's delight, the 15.6-inch M15x gaming laptop can quickly become very pricey, and it's not particularly portable either, but there's no denying that it's a powerful performer. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better-built or faster 15-inch laptop Read more

Sony Vaio Mini W series (VPCW11S1E) review
The 10.1-inch Vaio Mini W series VPCW11S1E offers typical netbook performance for a relatively lofty price. But it also offers the excellent construction and design that's typical of Sony, as well as a 1,366x768-pixel, high-definition display. Overall, it's an attractive package Read more

Dell Latitude 2100 review
Aimed primarily at the education market, the 10.1-inch Latitude 2100 sports an interesting set of features that distinguish it from the hordes of other Atom-powered netbooks on the market. Chief among these are an optional touchscreen and thick, rugged shell Read more

Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T review
The 13.3-inch Aspire Timeline 3810T boasts a slim, attractive design and a lightweight body, although we'd like to see an optical drive included. Compared to other slim 12- and 13-inch laptops, it also offers decent performance, but it's the extra-long battery life that really makes this machine stand out Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, summer 2009) review
The latest update to Apple's premium 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor modifications. Nevertheless, a faster CPU, better battery and the addition of an SD card slot, together with a price cut, make it a substantial improvement on its predecessor Read more
