Toshiba, who built one of the world's first notebooks, clearly has a head start in the race to put a laptop on every desk. The AU$1,210 Satellite M300 is a step in the right direction, being a modest, yet high quality desktop replacement at a reasonable price.
A solid business laptop with excellent battery life, the EliteBook 6930p won't disappoint, but there is little in this laptop to warrant the 'Elite' label.
Since when did vendor battery claims actually represent the truth? Acer's Timeline notebook just keeps going and going and going, but it's a pity that it's otherwise underpowered and hampered by Windows Vista.
The Toughbook CF-W7 isn't bad. It's designed for a specialised niche, and if you're constantly exposed to water we'd say it'd be a good choice. We'd expect more for our money though, and would otherwise be more tempted to pick up a Thinkpad for general ruggedness.
The Eee is now faster, looks nicer, and has better battery life. It's also heavier and the keyboard is still too small, but we like it. A lot.
Don't let the toy-like appearance of the Toshiba Portege A600 fool you, this fully featured portable laptop is packed full of features.
The Asus Eee PC 1000HE is a good 10-inch netbook; while we're hanging out for the higher-resolution HP Mini 2140, this is definitely one of the better 10-inch netbooks on the market.
A little late to the party, Apple's redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro joins the 15-inch model with a redesigned aluminium body, new trackpad with expanded functionality, and a dual graphics set-up for either longer battery life or better performance.
Asus' Eee PC 1004DN seems to be the final word in netbook computing, but then stumbles at the last moment due to the stratospheric price.
Samsung's netbook is an excellent entry into the Australian market, and an incredibly tempting buy for anyone looking in this space.
With a bevy of component options and colour choices -- plus a low starting price -- the Dell Inspiron 1520 series looks poised to be a favourite among home users.
Don't let the slim design and relatively light heft fool you. This XPS is one powerful gaming portable with an impressive feature set for work and play.
Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
The EeePC isn't for everyone — in fact within about two seconds from picking it up you'll know if it's for you or not. For those it does appeal to, it's a brilliant little thing that fills a much lamented gap.
The Sony VAIO VGN-TZ17GN/N is more fragile than we'd like, especially at AU$3,599 -- but the feature set is quite impressive for an ultraportable.
The Aspire 6920G is a stylish machine that offers great performance for watching movies or playing the latest games. It's an excellent option if you're looking for a desktop replacement laptop that can keep you entertained.
HP may have arrived late to the consumer netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.
Small businesses on tight budgets take note: The HP Compaq 6910p laptop offers enterprise-level features and decent performance at a price that's lower than the competition.
Toshiba's M200 feels great, but doesn't stand out against an oncoming slew of budget competitors.
The Fujitsu LifeBook S6410 boasts a brilliant screen, good performance, and useful features -- but we've seen better from the company.
