Acer TravelMate 6463WLMi review
Reviews It weighs a maximum of 3.12kg with an 8-cell main battery and a second 6-cell battery in the media bay. This isn't a laptop you're likely to be carrying with you and using on your travels a great deal, but if you need to operate under battery power...

Acer TravelMate 3012WTMi review
Reviews Even with the heavier six-cell battery in place, the TravelMate 3012WTMi should not be a burden to carry, but its chassis does not provide room for an optical drive. Usefully for mobile professionals, the system comes with two battery packs -- one...

Dell Latitude D620 review
Reviews The system's mobile performance is superior to the D610's, while the battery life on our review system, which was equipped with a 9-cell unit, was excellent. Battery life was an impressive 6 hours 22 minutes, thanks to our review system's optional...

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook P1610 review
Reviews An optional three-cell battery fits flush, reducing overall system weight to 1kg but delivering shorter battery life. Our review sample came with a six-cell battery that protrudes about 20mm from the front edge, providing an extended wrist-rest area.

Acer TravelMate 3022WTMi review
Reviews Like its conventionally liveried stablemate, the 3022WTMi weighs 1.5kg (with the standard 3-cell battery and minus the external optical drive) and measures 298mm wide by 210mm deep by 25-32mm high. With the bigger 6-cell battery, the system weighs...

Toshiba Portege R200 review
Reviews The very light 1.2kg Portege R200 still weighs nearly 120g more than the Latitude X1, which includes a smaller battery, but over 200g less than the ThinkPad X41, which comes with a bigger cell. In our drain tests, the Portege R200's battery lasted...

IBM ThinkPad X40 (Pentium M, 1.00GHz, 256MB, 20GB) review
Reviews The base system weighs only 1.2kg and includes a four-cell battery that snaps in flush with the back of the system, giving the X40 a decidedly trim form factor. This third battery adds another three hours of uptime and works with either the four...

Dell XPS M1210 review
Reviews Weighing 2.3kg with the nine-cell battery, the XPS M1210 lands squarely in the middle of the thin-and-light category, but the laptop's base configuration with a six-cell battery weighs a slightly more portable 2kg.

Samsung Q70 review
Reviews Its footprint is slightly larger than an A4 sheet of paper, it's not particularly thin and it weights in at the 2kg mark with the large six-cell battery attached. The Q70 is supplied with a large six-cell battery that sticks out the back by about...

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 review
Reviews Our review unit included a few upgrades -- twice as much RAM as the base configuration, plus WWAN, GPS and an extended-life 6-cell battery -- that brought the price to £1,979. In anecdotal testing of the ThinkPad X300 with the 6-cell battery, we...

MSI Wind review
Reviews It only weighs 1kg with the 3-cell battery -- or 1.1kg with the 6-cell battery -- so it's easy to carry. MSI had planned to ship it with a 6-cell battery as standard, but shortages meant it had to switch to a 3-cell unit instead.

Asus U2E Deluxe Edition (32GB solid state) review
Reviews The smallest 3-cell battery fits flush with the chassis, while the larger 6-cell battery obviously stores more juice, but does protrude from the rear of the case by about a centimetre. In our BatteryEater test, the 6-cell battery unsurprisingly put...

Asus W6Fp review
Reviews It's a compact and highly portable unit too, tipping the scales at around 1.86kg with the standard 3-cell battery, and a smidgen over 2kg with the 6-cell battery (also included). With the 3-cell and 6-cell batteries, we respectively managed around...

Dell Axim X30 (64MB, 312MHz processor) review
Reviews To disengage the cell from the handheld, you have to hold the unlock key while taking out the battery -- but at least you can remove it. A high-capacity 1,800mAh cell is available separately. Replacing the Axim X3, the mid-range X30 adds Intel's...
