With a thick chassis and features that don't rise above the pack, the Fujitsu M2010 will have a hard time breaking through the netbook clutter.
Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor tweaks to the previous version, but cutting prices and swapping the ExpressCard slot for an SD card slot are enough to make it a solid improvement over its predecessor.
Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminium unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.
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.
Dell's upscale Adamo is a 13-inch laptop for those who value design and finish as much as performance, but its luxury price will limit the potential audience.
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.
The genius of the dual-SIM technology is overshadowed by missing basic features, poor navigation and terrible battery life. The idea is right, but this phone needs to be refined.

We're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features; however, the Google Android platform has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful.
There's simply no better phone at this price. Fast web access, solid construction and fantastic social networking make this a must-see phone.
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.
Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro has a raft of new features, however, there's now less incentive to spend extra on a Pro because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.
Apple's redesigned 13in. MacBook is essentially a shrunken version of the more expensive 15in. Pro line. With its new aluminium body, new touchpad and Nvidia graphics, it's an even more attractive choice for mainstream notebook buyers than was the plastic model it replaces.
Although there are some design quirks, the Samsung Omnia promises to be a solid alternative to Apple's iPhone.
