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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

"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?

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.
