- Fujitsu LifeBook S7211 (Core 2 Duo T5250 1.5GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, XP Pro)
- On its own, the Fujitsu LifeBook S7211 is an adequate budget laptop for small-business users. Its compact design doesn't take up too much room in a laptop bag, and its glossy, 14.1-inch display looks great whether you're crunching numbers or watching a movie on the plane. Its relatively low price--our...

- How Toshiba's 128GB SSD-equipped Portégé R500 stacks up
- Toshiba has released what it says is the first laptop with a 128GB SSD. Technically, the 17-inch Alienware Area-51 m9750 can be configured with two 64GB SSDs, but Toshiba gets credit for shipping the first laptop equipped with a 128GB SSD that you'd actually want to carry anywhere. ...

- Averatec Voya 6494
- Not to be confused with Averatec's GPS units of the same name, this Voya is a laptop and of the semirugged variety. With its rubber bumpers, the Averatec Voya 6494 bears a slight resemblance to Honda's original Element. Despite its clunky look, the Voya 6494 is relatively trim for a...

- Averatec 2575
- Since we reviewed the Averatec 2371 last year, the company has taken its laptops in a whole new direction. Gone are the cheap-looking plastic cases and rock-bottom prices; in their place, the company offers a new minimalist design and slightly higher--though still competitive--prices. The new ultraportable in the company's lineup,...

- Fujitsu LifeBook N6470
- We were surprised at how much we like the Fujitsu LifeBook N6470. The unassuming matte-black case on this 17-inch desktop replacement doesn't exactly look luxe, and it lacks such headline-grabbing features as SLI graphics and a high-definition optical drive. (The latter can be chalked up to the death of the...

- Fujitsu LifeBook P8010
- The LifeBook P8010 is a worthy upgrade to last year's ultraportable LifeBook, the P7230. Most importantly, it replaces the single-core processor with a low-voltage Core 2 Duo chip. Its dimensions swell slightly to accommodate a bigger 12-inch screen, but it still weighs in at a hair under 3 pounds. While...

- Fujitsu LifeBook P1620 - Core 2 Duo U7600 1.2 GHz - 8.9" TFT
- The Fujitsu LifeBook P1620 sits somewhere between the ultraportable and UMPC camps, combining a 9-inch convertible tablet display (which rotates both ways--a tablet rarity) with a decent-size keyboard and business-friendly security features, including an embedded TPM Trusted Platform Module chip. Naturally, there are compromises to be found in such a...

- Dell's tablet, take two
- Dell took its time with tablets. It wasn't until last December that the company finally released its first tablet PC, the convertible Latitude XT--years after competitors such as HP, Gateway and Lenovo introduced their own versions. But it looks like the results have been good enough to convince Dell to...

- Fujitsu LifeBook A6120
- There's not much to get excited about with Fujitsu's 15-inch LifeBook, the A6120. It features the same functional yet boxy chassis as its predecessor, the A6110, but adds an Intel Penryn processor and upgraded specs for a couple hundred dollars more, while shedding a bit of weight in the process....

- Fujitsu LifeBook E8410 (2008)
- From the outside, nothing has changed from when we last looked at the Fujitsu LifeBook E8410. Fujitsu's flagship business laptop uses the same chassis we saw last year, which for a 15.4-inch mainstream model is relatively attractive with its matte black lid, silver keyboard tray, and white keys. The system...

- MacBook Heir? Lenovo X300 is everywhere this week
- Thanks to specs that match up nicely to the MacBook Air--it also fits in an interoffice envelope--Lenovo's still unannounced X300 ultraportable got a lot of press this week culminating in a February 25 cover story in BusinessWeek. Prior to that, The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg...

- WiBrain B1E UMPC
- Priced at $699 and offering a variety of useful input options, the Wibrain B1E avoids the two pitfalls that commonly beset UMPCs--high price and low usability. Its price makes it the cheapest UMPC we've reviewed; it's $300 less than the Fujitsu LifeBook U810 and a fraction of the cost of...

- Apple MacBook Air series
- As was heavily predicted before its unveiling, Apple's new laptop, called the MacBook Air, is not quite an ultraportable but is still very small. Mimicking the 13-inch silhouette of the current MacBook line, it's .76-inch thick at its thickest part. Apple calls it the "world's thinnest notebook." Though the MacBook...

- Cutebug Messenger
- Were it not for its slightly large size (the better to accommodate your 15.4-inch laptop), we'd think the $90 Mobile Edge Cutebug Messenger was another trendy everyday bag. But behind its vinyl front flap--like the Cutebug Sheba we reviewed earlier this year, decorated with a striking image taken from a...
