High-end debut. With the 1500 Euros (~$1927) ultrabook Aspire S5, Acer wants to attract customers in the luxury segment. In order to achieve this, the manufacturer sets on fast hardware, fine materials, and a couple of interesting features. Is this enough to put pressure on the established competition?

Another round. Speed junkies will get their full fix when it comes to F1 2012. The modern racing game shines with the usual pretty appearance and high speeds, in addition to the official license package. Find out which notebook hardware has enough power to master the game in this review.

Bargain alert. For just under 320 Euros (~$411), HP offers a basic laptop featuring a Pentium dual-core processor and Windows 7 operating system. Our review shows whether you get an acceptable laptop for this low price.

Mobile high-end. One thing is for sure: the HP EliteBook 8570p is no run-of-the-mill system designed for the masses. Rather, the system tries to appeal to the professional user and touts features such as a premium chassis, great display, long warranty, and powerful processing capabilities. We will determine how well this notebook meets the requirements of its intended target audience in our review.

Simple, but chic. You don’t need to pay thousands of Euros for an S-series Sony VAIO notebook. The 13.3-inch office laptop convinces with a solid pack of features. 4 GB system memory and an Intel Core i3 processor make the VAIO SVS-1311G4E an interesting product for the price of 850 Euro (~$1110).

Slimmer without the drawbacks. The T430s is sold as both a thinner, lighter variant of the standard-size T430 and as a successor to the T420s with an AccuType keyboard. We find out in this review what sacrifices, if any, had been made in order to offer the overall smaller package.

Strong Multimedia All-rounder. Less than 600 Euro (~$770), but equipped with a quad-core CPU and dual graphics. That sounds like a cheap gaming-ready multimedia notebook. Is that what Acer is offering in the Aspire V3-551G-1048G50Makk? We will find out in our review.

Mini ultrabook. A handy 11.6-inch notebook with a low-voltage Core i5, USB 3.0 and HD 4000. The Aspire costs significantly less than an entry-level ultrabook, but falls short of a few mobility factors.

A Samsung featuring Trinity. Samsung is releasing another Series 3 notebook in the form of the NP355VC. This time around a Trinity dual-core processor from AMD and dual graphics are supposed to entice buyers. Whether the 15.6-inch notebook is able to live up to expectations will be determined by our review.

ThinkPad Edge rival. Matte case, matte screen, ExpressCard slot, Intel's Core i5 processor - the TravelMate P453-M53214G50Makk sounds like the perfect office machine on paper. Our review reveals if this is true.

275 Euro. It does not get much cheaper than this. With Lenovo fighting for market share, the Chinese manufacturer introduces its latest netbook – the Lenovo IdeaPad S206. Will a potential customer receive more value than this mobile netbook’s rather low price? While this netbook may not suit everyone’s tastes, this is a question we will consider in this review.

Underexposed. HP's Elitebook 2570p is a subnotebook that bucks the trend towards increasingly lighter and slimmer systems. Its sturdiness, durability, battery life, performance, and communication interface options seem to make it the perfect ultra-mobile companion for professionals. We uncover the shortfalls of the notebook in our review.

Multimedia in an Aluminum Skin. The HP Pavilion dv7 is a multimedia notebook available for less than 800 Euro (~$1035). Although, the buyer might not get the newest hardware, they should be happy with the nice aluminum case.

It's a... smartphone. With the iPhone 5, Apple has introduced the sixth generation of its smartphone family. The Retina display now measures 4 inches, the case has been redesigned, and the new Apple A6 chip provides a boost in performance. NFC, the widely used 720p screen resolution and a carrier-independent LTE module are missing. What does Apple have to offer for a starting price of 679 Euros (~$876), and where does the California brand lag behind?

Guaranteed fun. What do you get when you mix role-playing and action components and garnish it with cel-shaded looks and a loose sense of humor? Right: Borderlands 2. We looked closer at the colorful, exotic blend and checked Unreal Engine 3's hardware hunger.

Old and New. More Ultrabooks, more mobile gaming power with Geforce SLI, and low-cost minis with Pentium and Core i3 for everyone. Acer shines in the office segment, and Lenovo combines portability and ruggedness.

Gentle evolution. Instead of taking a radical change, Lenovo steps gently in advancing their established ThinkPad series. The quick Ivy Bridge processors should increase the performance and innovations, such as USB 3.0, should demonstrate their will to improve. But how will adherents of the ThinkPad react to the first integrated Chiclet keyboard?

Hell 3.0 - A year back, the reasonably priced Deviltech Fragbook performed really well in our review. Now the device is available with Ivy Bridge processor technology and the GeForce GTX 675M. It has some really powerful rivals to overcome. We will evaluate if this laptop will prevail over the competition.

Turbo? With the SVE1711X1EB, Sony brings out on the market a multimedia laptop, which should appeal to both business and ambitious home users with its Intel Core i7 quad-core CPU, middle class graphics card, and matte display. In our detailed review you will read whether the notebook succeeds or not.

Entry-level Zen. Asus has been one of the first out of the blocks when dipping their hands into the ultrabook market. Now, with the UX32A-R3001V, it wants to rock the low-priced competition offering the laptop at around 800 Euro (~$1050). Our test shows how successful it is.

Ivy evolution. It took a bit over a year before Dell updated its new Latitude range business laptops for the known reasons. Our review reveals which new features we can expect apart from Intel's latest Ivy Bridge generation - and what the 14-inch business device has to set against the prestigious competition.

Time for King Football. Every year Electronic Arts knits a fresh layer of the immensely popular FIFA series. The current 13th installment is largely based on the strengths of its predecessors. In this article we will specifically highlight the technology and hardware requirements.

The cat's meow. With the sleek 13.3-inch Envy Spectre XT 13-2000eg, HP expands its ultrabook portfolio. Featuring an aluminum case, the latest hardware, a Beats Audio system, and a backlit keyboard, does this ultrabook offer substance in addition to its style?

Trinity-ThinkPad. Lenovo expands the Thinkpad Edge series with another model that has AMD parts on the inside. Within the case of the Thinkpad Edge E535 is an APU from AMD's current Trinity-Generation. We test if the device is any good.

A Core Question. Do modern gaming graphics cards require a quad-core CPU to show their full potential? Many gamers will be faced with this choice when it's time to buy a new notebook. To finally put the question to rest, we have tested Intel's current Ivy Bridge generation with various games. Keep reading to find out if high-end GPUs also play well with a dual-core CPU.

Double standards. There are very few new netbooks, but all the more minis with Zacate APU. HP uses AMD's smallest processing core in the low-cost mobile Pavilion.

Inexpensive, quiet, efficient. The Lenovo B570e-N2F23GE is a no-nonsense notebook designed for the home office user. The Windows 7 system features a dual-core CPU and retails for under 400 Euro. We examine its strengths and weaknesses.

Fresh out of the oven. Tablets with 10.1-inch display, NVIDIA Tegra 3 and Android 4 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich) are almost a dime a dozen now. Can Acer's Iconia A700 Tablet stand out from the crowd?
