Fairly portable for its size, the TimelineX 5820T looks great and performs well, but it isn't one of the better TimelineX models we've seen.

An expensive business ultra-portable that's short on battery life but strong on performance.

The DM3's good-looking exterior can't make up for average performance and poor usability.

Viewed on its own, the Aspire 5741G is a solid laptop, but battery life isn't great and you can have the same specifications for less money elsewhere.

Laptops Ultraportable laptops

The R700 is more powerful than most ultra-portables. However, the high price doesn't sit well with the 32-bit version of Windows, just 2GB of RAM and a 320GB hard disk.

Eight-hour battery life and good single-threaded performance make this an alternative to a netbook, but Packard Bell's Dot u has far better performance for a little extra cost.

Fujitsu have crammed a wondrous number of features into this small wonder, but poor build quality and a cramped keyboard let it down, and it's far too expensive
