Reviews Our review sample, the R500-10U, tips the scales at 779g. Our review sample, the R500-10U, is available from Toshiba resellers for around £1,800. The Toshiba Portege R500 is an ultraportable in the truest sense of the word.

Acer Aspire 8920G preview

Reviews Starting at £899, the Aspire 8920G isn't available until later this week, but we've had the pleasure of testing a pre-production sample of this 18.4-inch desktop replacement. We've yet to run benchmarks -- since our pre-production sample refuses...

HP iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger review

Reviews You can buy the iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger for £351 from eXpansys, which is where our review sample came from. Thanks to eXpansys for providing a review sample of this phone. That's an incorrect impression, as this Pocket PC, like others that...

Asus Lamborghini VX1 review

Reviews Both are attractive, but our yellow review sample makes an instant retina-searing impression straight out of the box, making it the more suitable poser's accessory. Unfortunately, the 'spoiler' section of our review sample was a slightly different...

Dell Inspiron 1520 review

Reviews The lid on our review sample is finished in what Dell refers to as 'bubblegum pink' -- and it's quite an adept description. The 1.8GHz CPU on our review sample helped it rack up a pretty decent 4,815 in PCMark 2005, which is more than the 3,725...

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook P1610 review

Reviews You can choose either a 60GB hard drive -- as installed in our review sample -- or an 80GB unit. Our review sample came with a six-cell battery that protrudes about 20mm from the front edge, providing an extended wrist-rest area.

Getac P470 review

Reviews A hinge keeps upper and lower sections of the laptop together, although the clasp on our review sample was not quite as solid as we'd like. Our review sample had 1GB of DDR2 RAM, which is upgradeable to a maximum of 2GB.

Reviews Our review sample uses the Premium version, which has a 64mm (2.5-inch) SideShow display and corresponding control buttons at the top of the chassis. The cabling inside our review sample was messy, but there are plenty of interesting components

Intempo Rebel review

Reviews The tuning buttons either skip through the FM spectrum or MP3 tunes, and the Rebel continues to sample even when set to zero volume. If you connect up an iPod via the line-in socket to use it as a dock, it will even sample and copy songs from your...

Acer Aspire 2930 preview

Reviews We'd expect the final production version of this laptop to perform slightly better than this engineering sample. In the case of our sample, the new chip is the Core 2 Duo T9400, which runs at 2.53GHz.
