Sony VAIO N Laptop Review
Thursday, January 04, 2007 by abaxter
The Sony VAIO N series is a bit of a new page in the playbook for Sony. The VAIO N is a 15.4” widescreen notebook that can actually be called a budget level notebook, in the past we haven’t seen Sony go after cost conscious customers. The VAIO N is squarely targeted at consumers that want a stylish and suitably powerful laptop just for around the home and this review will investigate whether that goal is achieved.

Asus A8JP Notebook Review
Wednesday, January 03, 2007 by beefdonkey
The ASUS A8JP is a small 14” laptop with enough power and performance to put most larger laptops to shame. Especially considering the price, nothing can touch this. I know, because I have looked. While not an “ultra-portable” (13” and smaller), it is definitely not a burden to carry around and has pretty good battery life, taking in to account what this bad boy can do.

Asus R2H UMPC Review
Tuesday, January 02, 2007 by abaxter
The Asus R2H is a UMPC device powered by an Intel Celeron M processor. It’s fairly loaded with features, even including integrated GPS. Asus definitely aimed high by making this device more feature loaded than other UMPC devices. But cramming everything you can into a device with a small screen, underpowered processor and putting a bunch of startup software and processes on it can result in a not so stellar user experience.

Lenovo ThinkPad R60 14-inch Screen Notebook Review
Thursday, December 28, 2006 by ZaZ
For your consideration is a review of my recently acquired 14” Lenovo ThinkPad R60. The R60 comes in 14 or 15” screen sizes. It is designed to be a more wallet friendly business class notebook, but if you get all the options it can get quite expensive. The R60 lacks the rock star status of the T series ThinkPads even though they share a lot of parts. It's sort of the Rodney Dangerfield of the ThinkPad line – no respect. I think the R60 offers great value for someone on a tight budget who wants a well built and serviced notebook.
