How do I find the right fit?

Reviews Though too big and heavy for anything but infrequent travel, these behemoths deliver the best performance and the most features available in a notebook. Generally, desktop replacements are popular with people who do not travel regularly and want...

Archos 404 review

Reviews The other option is the more portable DVR Travel Adapter Kit (£44), which includes a 101mm (4-inch) adaptor that snaps on to the 404's dock connector. The more portable DVR Travel Adapter is better suited for on-the-go recording

Archos Pocket Video Recorder AV420 review

Reviews Given its nest of attached cables, the cradle (which acts as a stand) is not suitable for travel. The travel-friendly AC adaptor plugs into the cradle or directly into the AV420. The personal video player (PVP) has come of age.

Optoma MovieTime DV10 review

Reviews While purists would rather watch their movies on a black-and-white portable TV than consider such a preposterous idea, this 'home cinema in a box' solution will suit home-cinema users who travel, as they can carry a complete cinema in one bag.

Western Digital Passport portable USB drive (80GB) review

Reviews Extra weight added to your travel bag means a heavier burden to carry -- so everything in your pack should be well worth the load. The Western Digital Passport portable USB 2.0 drive -- available in 40GB, 60GB and 80GB capacities -- is one of those...

Acer TravelMate 3012WTMi review

Reviews Its wide-screen format, built-in camera and Bluetooth VoIP phone should all appeal to users who travel -- especially those who use the Internet for voice and video calling. Design The TravelMate 3012WTMi is both small and light.

Olympus u [mju:] 720 SW review

Reviews Sleek, responsive and outfitted with image stabilisation, the µ 720 SW makes a rugged and welcome travel companion. The most hardy µ to date, the Olympus µ 720 SW is a waterproof, 7.1-megapixel camera that's fully submersible up to 3m, for an hour...

Ricoh GX200 review

Reviews You miss out on zoom power at the top end of the scale, but if you're into landscape and travel photography you'll find this lens' wider angle of view much more useful. Digital SLRs are big, heavy and awkward to lug around.

Toshiba Portege R500-10U review

Reviews Whereas many laptops are too bulky to be taken on the road, its 779g chassis, long battery life and transflexive screen make it the perfect travel companion. The Toshiba Portege R500 is an ultraportable in the truest sense of the word.

Toshiba Qosmio G10-100 review

Reviews Although the weight of this £1,400 notebook will be a serious problem for anyone who plans to travel with it, it's easy to understand why the Qosmio is so heavy. Back in the '80s we were dragging around laptops the size of desktops, so the Qosmio...

Acer TravelMate 6592 review

Reviews At 2.9kg you're unlikely to want to carry it very far or very often, and if you do make it a travel companion you'll need a pretty capacious bag. Earlier this year, Acer announced a new line-up of laptops to coincide with Intel's Centrino Pro/Duo...
