Intel Core i5-540M | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 12.10" | 1.7 kg

Essential or "Standard" as in the German online shop - this is what Dell calls its Latitude E5xxx series. Listed are solid, fully-fledged business machines which, however, fall back on a plastic chassis, and thereby differentiate themselves from the somewhat more premium E6xxx series.

Business Companion. Any manufacturer that wants to be a true business retailer, has to be able to offer high-quality notebooks in all the current formats. Of increasingly importance is the 13 inch form factor, which is becoming more popular for mobile applications. Dell has provided the E4310 for this segment
Intel Core i5-540M | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 13.30" | 1.6 kg

Pure Entertainment. 17 inch display, DirectX 11 capable graphic card, quad-core processor and BluRay drive: Acer has bundled a lavishly configured multimedia at a fair price with the Aspire 7551G-N934G64Bn. We've checked if this offer is too good to be true.
AMD Phenom II X4 N930 | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

Ultra-thin. The most surprising thing about this new 10-inch netbook from Samsung is its high price tag of €449 (RRP). Is the price justifiable, for an Atom N450 processor, a matt WSVGA screen and a three/ six cell battery? We examine every inch of this lightweight laptop in our review.
Intel Atom N450 | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150 | 10.10" | 1.1 kg

Storage Express. This SSD-drive from Verbatim is a rather unusual expansion for the ExpressCard slot; we will put it through its paces if it is in fact fast, compact and easy to use.

Storage giant in tiny size. Already since a long time Samsung's Mini S1 hard drives belong to the smallest. Now models with a capacity of 250 GB are available too. Ideal on-the-move? We checked that.

Display Miracle! The Eee PC R101 is the new start model in the Eee netbook family. The specs sound very interesting: Intel Atom N450 processor, matt 10.1 inch screen and Windows XP Home for a low 249 euro. We've put the device through its paces.
Intel Atom N450 | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150 | 10.10" | 1.1 kg

Surround Gaming. Hardly suitable for tight notebook pockets, the Verbatim Gaming Headsets main aim is to provide a convincing sound scape in stationary use. How comfortably and well this is achieved was tested by us.

USB 3.0 Expansion. Typhoon also sent an ExpressCard/34 with USB 3.0 to our editorial office. We checked how well it can keep up with the competition.

Mini Gamer 2.0. Alienware, up until now better known for its big luxury-gamers, has surprised the notebook branch with a high-performance subnotebook, the M11x, a few months ago. Now the manufacturer introduces the subtly renewed M11x R2 that mainly distinguishes itself by a processor upgrade.
Intel Core i5-520UM | NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M | 11.60" | 2 kg

Energy Drink. Peeved because your netbook is too slow? Acer has the solution: Simply take Core i5! Small 12 inch size, less than 1.4 kilograms and five hour mobility. We'll demonstrate the abilities of the smallest Timeline X for 800 euro.
Intel Core i5-520UM | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 11.60" | 1.4 kg

Entertainment Program. Toshiba's 16 incher scores with good sound, gaming starter GPU and good performance. However we found out that there's no perfect notebook for 730 euro. Workmanship, battery life and display show weaknesses.
Intel Core i3-330M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M | 16.00" | 2.6 kg

Data exchange the easy way. USB sticks owe their popularity to their small size and easy handling. The Executive Stick from Verbatim wants to build on these factors with a fast data transfer rate and abundant capacity.

At home outdoors. The smallest netbook of the new Eee PCs from Asus is called 1051P and is equipped with a 10.1 inch display, Intel Atom N450 processor and 6 cell battery. Aside from a battery life of over 10 hours, the ergonomics are to be convincing.
Intel Atom N450 | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150 | 10.10" | 1.2 kg

Third dimension. Apparently, there is a trend to 13-inch notebooks. That's not surprising, because this size offers an excellent mobility and at the same time a performance close to bigger competitors.
Intel Core i5-430M | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 13.30" | 1.9 kg

External Flexibility. Whether storage capacity of a notebook runs short or seldom used data should be archived, an external storage device is useful on-the-move. We test a model from Verbatim, which has to demonstrate its capabilities.

Core Refresh. Sony trades the Core 2 Duo SU7300 for a Pentium U5400, but keeps its successful concept. Integrated graphics, aluminum/magnesium case and a keyboard with a strong feedback. Will summer really be fun with the 13.3 incher?
Intel Pentium U5400 | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 13.30" | 1.7 kg

Not a netbook! With the Aspire 1551, Asus brings a new 11.6-inch sub-notebook to the fold. Interesting tidbits include an AMD II Neo K325-processor and modern DDR3-RAM. We bring the sub-notebook under the lens for a closer look.
AMD Athlon II Neo K325 | ATI Radeon HD 4225 | 11.60" | 1.3 kg

Lap-Blaster. The N700 notebook cooler with built-in loudspeakers, which can even improve the sound of many a DTR notebook and allows a comfortable use on the lap.

Budget laptop. One Intel core processor please, with a side-order of ATI graphics and a high-speed hard drive. It sounds like a laptop that many people would like to get their hands on. At €565, the 15.6-inch all-rounder from HP could be just what they’re looking for. We check out this small machine with broad appeal.
Intel Core i3-330M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430 | 15.60" | 2.6 kg

Low Voltage Turbo. Overclocking, Turbo Boost, virtual cores and GeForce graphics. That doesn't fit to a runtime strong 13.3 incher? Asus proves us wrong. Core i5 supplies performance and Nvidia Optimus supports battery life.
Intel Core i5-520UM | NVIDIA GeForce 310M | 13.30" | 1.8 kg

Takeaway Action. Dell promises this with its AMD/ATI combo in 13.3 inches. Unusual: DisplayPort adjacent to eSATA and HDMI. Can the Turion II Neo K625 keep up with Intel's Ultra Low Voltage processors in terms of battery life and performance?
AMD Turion II Neo K625 | ATI Radeon HD 4225 | 13.30" | 1.8 kg

Productivity-Booster. Is your trusty old office notebook possibly getting a little slow? Does the seemingly never ending boot time appear to be taking forever? Are you considering upgrading your system? - Forget RAM, CPU or GPU, the mass storage device holds the key to success.

Versatility Itself. A bit of everything: check mails early mornings on the train, a game of Battlefield at lunch, a bit of TV in the afternoon coffee break and full-blast music fun in the evening. That's what the 17.3 incher for 749 euro is supposed to be capable of. Unbelievable?
Intel Core i3-330M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M | 17.30" | 3.3 kg

Without airs and graces. 15.6" mainstream notebooks at attractive prices are a dime a dozen. Apart from the attractive optics, Acer offers mainly standard fare with the Aspire 5551G-N834G64Mn. The only highlight is the brand new triplecore CPU from AMD, the Prenom II X3 N830.
AMD Phenom II X3 N830 | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 | 15.60" | 2.6 kg

Like a Satellite... With the Satellite L670D-120, Toshiba is offering an amazing amount of value for the money. For a suggested price of under 1000 Euro, buyers receive not only a triple-core CPU from AMD and a middle-class graphics card from ATI, but also a Blu-Ray burner as well. Read on to find out whether the offer is worth the price.
AMD Phenom II X3 P820 | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 | 17.30" | 2.8 kg

Graphics Update. With the newest update to the MBP13 family, Apple has chosen to stick by the older Core 2 Duo processors in favor of new GeForce 320M graphics card. In the following review we will determine just how good the new graphics card is and if the surcharge for the 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo is worth the price of admission.
Intel Core 2 Duo P8800 | NVIDIA GeForce 320M | 13.30" | 2 kg

Netbook killer. The battery life of a netbook with the performance of a subnotebook. Could the dream be realised for just €329? This 10.1-inch, AMD-based machine begins the assault on Intel’s Pine Trail netbooks. Its weapons: Athlon II Neo, DDR3 RAM, ATI HD 4225 and HDMI.
AMD Athlon II Neo K125 | ATI Radeon HD 4225 | 10.10" | 1.3 kg

Phenom(enal) Gaming. The Radeon HD5650 and a Quad-CPU, that sounds like good gaming potential. Surprisingly: The four cores aren't provided by the top-dog Intel, but by AMD. Is the Phenom II X4 P920 with its 1.6 GHz suitable as an action-shooter?
AMD Phenom II X4 P920 | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

A White Dilemma. Sony's 10 incher leaves our reviewers with mixed feelings. A modest battery life and high system noise on the one side, but an excellent display on the other. Will Sony's littlest one be able to escape its misery?
Intel Atom N450 | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150 | 10.10" | 1.3 kg

"Laptop@home"? No problem for Belkin. The California firm best known for accessories of all shapes and sizes presents not only traditional notebook cases and sleeves but also special solutions for the storage and use of a net- or notebook at home. We took a closer look at five different products currently on offer.

USB 3.0 for (nearly) everyone! Notebooks with an ExpressCard expansion slot can have a multitude of additional features integrated later on. How well this works with the USB 3.0 adaptor from Iomega will be revealed in our review

Silent office. This 15.6-inch notebook from Samsung sets out to be the perfect office companion, and one that you can count on. There is no energy-guzzling graphics card, and its tried and tested 'silent mode' makes typing quiet as a whisper. But is it equally impressive in its workmanship and portability?
Intel Core i5-430M | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

USB 3.0 with a pulled handbrake. Slowly, USB 3.0 interfaces are filling the manufacturer's shelves as peripheral supplies. The eGo Portable USB 3.0 from Iomega has now been added and has to prove its performance in this review.

USB 3.0: The Second. Following Iomega's ExpressCard solution, we summoned up another, less expensive alternative from Raidsonic for testing. Bargain or bogus? Our review clarifies this.

Feng-Shui. Who needs a graphic card, Bluetooth or ExpressCard when typing? Ergonomics and display, thats what its all about! The Pro Pitts focuses on the essentials and cuts quite a figure in doing so.
Intel Core i3-330M | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Small, light and chic. Iomega offers an external USB 2.0 hard disk in a matt aluminum look that allegedly looks great with a Mac or PC on the move. Read in our review if this has been accomplished.

Black-Carbon. There are literally countless bags and jackets for notebooks and particularly for Apple MacBooks. The American company, ION, supplies an extravagant carbon fiber and leather case. ION naturally charges an according price for the good workmanship and the high-end materials.

Reasonable DVB-T Empfänger. Especially in summer, mobile TV makes it possible to neither miss the nice weather nor the favorite TV series. Learn how well it works with the Terratec Cinergy T Stick in our review.

Inspiron 17R(eloaded). Dell's Inspiron 17 has already been available for a while and probably belongs to the American manufacturer's top sellers. Now there is a refresh available, called Inspiron 17R, which can be individually configured as typical for Dell - starting with the color up to hardware configuration.
Intel Core i5-430M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 | 17.30" | 3.1 kg

Let the games begin. The X500, an 18.4-inch desktop replacement, has already found its way into our editorial office before the review even began. Toshiba recently updated the graphics card, insisting on scrapping the planned GeForce GTS 250M and including a GeForce GTS 360M as standard, which we naturally put through its paces.
Intel Core i7-720QM | NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M | 18.40" | 4.6 kg

The golden boy? The HP Elitebook 8540p is positioned in between the HP Probook 6540b and the HP Elitebook 8540w due to its price and its performance. Those readers who are curious about how well this notebook performs, will find all the necessary information in the following in-depth review.
Intel Core i5-540M | NVIDIA Quadro NVS 5100M | 15.60" | 2.9 kg

Au revoir SuperDrive! Due to their architecture, the storage space in Apple's mobile systems is limited. MCE Technologies offers OptiBay, a clever high-quality solution, which allows to built-in a second 2.5 inch drive.

Vostro New – the Second. New hardware, subtle improvements of the equipment, new outfit. Following the Vostro 3500, we now put the updated and potently equipped 17 incher of the Vostro family to the test.
Intel Core i7-720QM | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M | 17.30" | 3 kg

Mobile Darkfield. Logitech has a small wireless mouse in its array called Anywhere MX mouse, which works on all surfaces due to the Darkfield sensor. You can read about the little vermin's weaknesses and strengths in the following review.

A Potent Notebook Cocktail. With the mySN MG7.c, notebook specialist Schenker offers a largely customizable 17.3-inch gaming notebook available from 789 Euro. Together, Intel's latest Core processors and ATI's Mobility Radeon 5730 promise good performance for demanding users.
Intel Core i5-520M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 | 17.30" | 3 kg

Discount-Gamer. A lot of performance for little dough. For 800 Euro there is the surprisingly strong ATI HD5730 (GDDR3), the i5-430M processor and an endless number of connections. Whether or not MSI improves on the much faulted quality of its case will be revealed in our review.
Intel Core i5-430M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 | 16.00" | 2.5 kg

Breaking the Rules? In 1996 Toshiba belonged to the avant-garde of the netbook hype to first set in years later with its minicomputer, Libretto. Now a refresh, a Dual Touch 7 incher W100, has appeared. Aside that, the AC100 Cloud Companion is supposed to pair smartphones and netbook and the Portégé R700 provides for an uproar with a competitive price.

Small business. The smallest member of the Dell Latitude series has had a hardware upgrade while remaining in its old case. It is now equipped with an Intel Atom N470 processor, faster DDR2-6400 memory, a touchscreen with a higher resolution and a 3G module.
Intel Atom N470 | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150 | 10.10" | 1.6 kg

Working faster. We are facing a representative of Dell's high-end "mainstream" range of Latitude Business notebooks. Equipped with powerful components (Core i7, SSD), the 14 inch laptop is recommendable for ambitioned business users with mobility needs.
Intel Core i7-620M | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 14.10" | 2.2 kg

Powerful, Audible & Mobile. No matter if it's to be a Lamborghini for the racing sports fan, an acoustic machine for the hi-fi aficionado or an angular business Eee PC for the office geek – Asus has it. Amongst others: Ion 2 GPUs and Atom D525 processors.

Digital-Chic. Style-oriented customers will certainly get their money's worth when considering this 15.6-inch notebook; be it in red, silver, black or white it features an Intel Core i5, ATI HD5470 and is ready for the demands of social networking. Could it be the perfect companion for digital wanderers and networked school kids?
Intel Core i5-430M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Just a silent TICK. After the remarkable change from Core 2 Duo to Core i architecture there follows a gentle update of the quad-core processors, which are available since autumn last year. We looked at its effects in detail.

External Speeder II. The in the meantime widely distributed eSATA interface makes a fast data transfer possible and can still keep up with the new standard, USB 3.0, in terms of external 2.5" hard disks. Our review shows just how well.

Memory Cooler. The summer is approaching and Choiix presents a notebook cooling pad, the Air-Through Stash, which has an integrated 80 millimeter fan, SATA bay for 2.5" drives and a 3 port USB hub. We'll clarify if this purchase is worth it in this short review.

CAD Expert + X. Primarily created for professional work, the technical data and configuration details also catch the attention of occasional gamers and ambitioned home users. We looked at what this workstation is capable of in detail.
Intel Core i7-620M | NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M | 15.60" | 2.9 kg

Business Gamer. Business laptops usually do not have strong graphics cards. Acer begs to differ with its newest TravelMate model, the Acer TravelMate 5740G-524G50MN. Thanks to the ATI HD5650 and Core i5-520M duo in the laptop, Acer can promise its buyers good performance for business laptops too. You can read the following in-depth review to find out more about the 15.6 inch TravelMate 5740G-524G50MN.
Intel Core i5-520M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Business-Allrounder. With the E6510, Dell offers a reworked 15.6 incher intended for professional office duties. Depending on one's demands, the machine comes with various hardware configurations; for instance also with an independent graphic card and an Intel quad core CPU.
Intel Core i7-820QM | NVIDIA NVS 3100M | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

External Speeder. If you need a fast external memory, you won't really be able to avoid the new USB 3.0 USB port. LaCie now offers the "rugged" series with this fast interface and has to prove its potential in this review.

Updated graphics. After its latest refresh the white MacBook has caught up again with the MacBook Pro 13. Its GeForce 320M provides markedly improved graphics performance, but does the package as a whole justify the relatively high price tag?
Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 | NVIDIA GeForce 320M | 13.30" | 2.2 kg

Core Update. Apple's 17 inch aluminum notebook has also been upgraded and now features a Core i5, Intel graphics and even an automatically switching GeForce GT330M. The performance benefits from this update greatly, but there is a catch under maximum load.
Intel Core i5-540M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M | 17.00" | 3 kg

Lord of Pixel. It seemed as if ATI would completely seize control of the graphics card market in the last months. Now Nvidia launches a "silver bullet" codenamed "Fermi", which should bring the GPU manufacturer back to the top. We have the first results for you.
Intel Core i7-940 | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M | 17.00" | 5.5 kg

All-Day Core i5. Asus has removed the L from their product description and created a more powerful 13.3-incher equipped with a Core i5-430M. Can they live up to their promise of all-day computing with the help of the Nvidia Optimus? Read on to find out!
Intel Core i5-430M | NVIDIA GeForce 310M | 13.30" | 2.2 kg

Sofa Surfer. Check mail on the run or take a look at your course plan while on the train. Mobile Internet use deamands a handy device with integrated UTMS. Can the N150 ascend the throne of mobility? Find out why this doesn't quite work out.
Intel Atom N450 | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150 | 10.10" | 1.2 kg

Office with a heart for Games. We only review over-priced Apple MacBooks? Wrong. Here is a 535 euro all-rounder that everyone can afford. The 15.6 incher doesn't only have office qualities due to an ATI HD 5470 and a fast hard disk.
AMD Athlon II M320 | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

For the Office. Sony has upgraded its business devices and now offers modern Core i5 CPUs with integrated Intel HD graphics in an elegant magnesium case. We closely examined if Sony now finally can catch up to the established competition.
Intel Core i5-520M | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 15.40" | 2.5 kg

Safe is safe. Not only for companies, but also private persons have an increasing amount of sensitive data in electronic format. Our test device from LaCie provides a possibility to secure these against unauthorized access.

Extended Desktop. Perhaps an additional two external monitors on the laptop? The Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition can fulfill this wish if you have a suitable digital monitor out on your notebook or PC. We'll clarify the benefits and drawbacks in the following review.

Mac Mini Alternative? Fujitsu has offered similarly small mini PCs as Apple's Mac Mini for several years. We have looked at the latest completely reworked series and describe for whom such a device might be of interest.

Connection Incomer. The faster Firewire version IEEE1394b (FW800) is almost exclusively found on Apple computers. We looked at how well this connection works in the Windows world in an accelerated trial.

Mobile Cinema External BluRay drives are perfect for on the go or to simply upgrade computers that are at hand. We now have a device from Buffalo, a supply manufacturer, in review.

Impaired Optimus. Nvidia's newest switchable technology amongst graphic cards stands for best runtimes in powerful mainstream notebooks. The following review explains why the 16 incher doesn't live up to the credo.
Intel Core i5-430M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 325M | 16.00" | 2.7 kg

No eSata? The ExpressCard interface, which many laptops feature, might help. We scrutinized the eSata II 300 ExpressCard/34 from Digitus.

Multimedia delight & display frustration. Acer presents a 17.3" multimedia notebook with the Aspire 7745G, which should apeal to both gamers and film fanatics thanks to ATI's Mobility Radeon HD 5850 (DDR3-VRAM) and the integrated Blu-Ray-Drive.
Intel Core i5-430M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 | 17.30" | 3.2 kg

A Unique Specimen.The L-series is a brand-new addition to the Lenovo Thinkpad notebook portfolio. Apart from the previously tested L512 there is also a more compact 14-incher with the designation L412. Being similarly equipped as its brother, it should score similarly in the mobility department.
Intel Core i3-330M | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 14.00" | 2.3 kg

Gaming – Mobile – Wireless. These keywords normally aren't really used in one sentence when it comes to describing a mouse. Roccat wants to accomplish this straddle with the Pyra. Read in the following review if this has been achieved.

Sound & Performance, Vision or Reality? On occasion of the upcoming Computex in Taiwan, MSI invited European journalists to a prior event in Amsterdam where a few novelties were presented in advance. We were onsite for you and have summarized the most awesome products of the notebook field here.

A great entertainer. Acer is refreshing its range of 18.4-inch multimedia notebooks with the Aspire 8943G. The hardware is the same for the most part, but there have been some changes on the outside. Is it enough to set the new Aspire 8943G apart from the previous models?
Intel Core i7-720QM | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 | 18.40" | 3.9 kg

More Power. The G73 already let the hearts of the notebook gaming community beat faster in its first available alternative. Asus has now upgraded it and equips the machine with an i7 quad-core CPU, 8 GB RAM, a 1 TB mass memory and a FullHD display.
Intel Core i7-720QM | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 | 17.30" | 4 kg

A Green Starter Thinkpad? A relatively inexpensive business notebook with a good performance, long battery life and even environmentally-friendly: Who could resist that? We've checked if Lenovo can keep its promotion promises.
Intel Core i3-330M | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics | 15.60" | 2.6 kg

Basics. The model range Extensa 7630G from Acer finds its circle of customers in small and mid-sized businesses, but it is also interesting for private users. It draws the attention of the buyer thanks in particular to its value-for-money ratio.
Intel Core 2 Duo T6570 | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 | 17.30" | 3.4 kg

New hardware, old weaknesses. The latest addition to MSI's gaming range is the new GX640. On the outside nothing has changed, but under the surface lurks a particularly powerful graphics card, the Radeon HD 5850 GDDR5. Is it all too much for the modest 15-inch case?
Intel Core i5-430M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 | 15.40" | 2.7 kg

That significant eXtra. Acers new 14 inch high-class performer is here: the Aspire Timeline X 4820TG-434G64Mn promises to deliver decent performance thanks to the installed Core i5 and the mobile Radeon HD 5650 graphics chip. On top of that, Acer assures customers that the laptop will also have long battery life and easy-to-use switchable graphics.
Intel Core i5-430M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 | 14.00" | 2.1 kg

Lowrider. Dell models bearing the -z suffix are differentiated from the all-around Inspiron family by being particularly mobile. A thin housing, energy-sipping CPU's and large-capacity batteries should keep even the most demanding users away from the wall outlet.
Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Qosmio's newest family addition. The first look at the 15.6 inch sized multimedia notebook reveals a BluRay drive, a GeForce GT330M graphics and the Toshiba-typical Harman/Kardon loudspeakers. We are anxious to find out what else is concealed in the glossy red-black case.
Intel Core i3-330M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M | 15.60" | 2.9 kg

Some platforms are obviously dearly loved. This is also the case for the well-known, colorful 17" Gaming Barebone from MSI. With an Intel Core i7-720QM and ATI HD5870 graphics, it celebrates its return in the GX740 and promises first class gaming performance.
Intel Core i7-720QM | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 | 17.00" | 3.4 kg

i7 power. After a long wait, the updated MacBook Pro models have finally arrived. We put the most powerful model with its glossy 1440 x 900 screen to the test, and ask whether it is truly worth the high price.
Intel Core i7-620M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M | 15.40" | 2.5 kg

New Vostro. The Vostro 3500 has Intel's latest hardware and Nvidia's GeForce G310M graphic card in a new aluminum case, as well as a few improvements in the configuration to offer in this review. As usual, Dell also offers numerous options besides that.

Intel Core i3-330M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 | 13.30" | 1.8 kg

Ceramic all-rounder. Sony's first 17.3 inch notebook for consumers costs less than 800 Euros, and has a Core i3 as well as an ATI HD 5470 on board. Whether or not the ceramic styled hand resting area reduces our objectivity can be discovered in this comprehensive review.
Intel Core i3-330M | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 | 17.30" | 3.1 kg

Small. Light. Wind. The manufacturer MSI beefs up once again and expands its Wind range by the U160 with a 10 inch WSVGA display, Intel Atom N450, one GB DDR 2 RAM and 160 GB hard disk. An Intel GMA 3150 chip, already integrated into the Atom N450 CPU, is used for the graphic solution.
Intel Atom N450 | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150 | 10.00" | 1.2 kg

Workstation Lite. The Tecra S11 is intended to be a workstation computer, according to Toshiba. But it is questionable whether its Nvidia Quadro NVS 2100M graphics card will satisfy the performance-orientated user. At least Toshiba has gone all out on the processor, opting for a i5-520M or i7-620M.
Intel Core i5-520M | NVIDIA NVS 2100M | 15.60" | 2.6 kg
