Sub-notebooks, or ultra-portables, or whatever you want to call them, are as varied in their way as full-sized notebooks. There are, however, certain generalities to which the majority tends to conform: two-spindle design, sub-2kg weight, 12.1-inch ...

There are seven notebooks in Toshiba's Satellite Pro M10 series, and they all use an Intel Centrino chip. If we're being strictly accurate, Centrino is actually four chips as there is the processor, the chipset units ...

Benq may be a new name for most of us, but the company has been around for quite a while. However, it's only recently that Benq has stepped out of the shadow of parent company Acer. ...

Manufacturers have been putting desktop processors inside notebooks for years, so in a sense the presence of a 2.4GHz desktop Pentium 4 inside IBM's new Thinkpad G40 is hardly ground-breaking. What is interesting is the way ...

One of the laptop manufacturers to adopt Intel's Centrino technology is Iridium, and the company's Starbook 750 notebook is a satisfying marriage of the work of both firms. Yet the first major point of note is ...

Centrino, Centurion... it's an obvious choice of name, really, and it conjures up images of reliability and dependability, which is probably what ACi intended. And the Centurion doesn't disappoint, at least as far as the design, ...

The latest addition to Fujitsu-Siemens' Lifebook line is a traditional corporate notebook design. You get good old Intel inside - still perceived to be the more appropriate choice for business in some circles - and it's ...

Notebooks for under £1,000, even including the VAT, are no longer a rarity, but finding a really good one can be far from straightforward. This is simply because notebooks cost more to manufacture than desktop PCs, ...
