Ultraportable laptops

Novatech V14 review

Incredibly thin and with a processor that puts netbooks to shame. However, battery life isn't great and the keyboard lacks quality.

Lenovo Thinkpad X201 review

Solid build quality and a comfortable keyboard are expected of a ThinkPad; the X201 adds desktop performance and a half-day of battery life

MSI X400 review

The 14in screen makes this a great alternative to a netbook for movie and photo fans, but performance isn't much better than a netbook and battery life isn't astounding

Sony Vaio Y21S1E/L review

Decent performance and battery life make the Y21 a great travelling companion, but you pay a huge premium for the brand. Ultimately, there are better-value alternatives.

Dell Alienware M11x review

A portable laptop that can play Crysis for almost two hours on battery power is almost unbelievable, but it's tragically let down by the poor screen

Asus U35JC review

Dell Inspiron M301z review

The Inspiron M301z is a sleek ultra-portable laptop, but there are cheaper alternatives available that have even longer-lasting batteries

Fujitsu Lifebook P3110 review

A stylish little package with decent battery life, the P3110 is let down by its tiny touchpad and its cold screen.

Toshiba Satellite Pro T130-15F review

Toshiba's Satellite Pro is a good ultra-portable laptop with excellent battery life, but is let down by a poorly-designed touchpad.

Sony Vaio Y Series (Y11M1E/S) review

It's a little expensive, but the Sony Vaio Y11M1E/S is an excellent, well-equipped ultra-portable laptop with stunning battery life.
