Acer Travelmate 800 Review
Acer have succeeded in building a laptop that suits just about everybody's needs, at the same time avoiding the dreaded 'Jack of all trades, master of none' syndrome. The Travelmate 800 series is equally at home in a high powered business meeting as in a hardcore gamer's bedroom. Battery life and performance are both excellent on all counts - the future of mobile computing definitely lies with Intel and their Centrino platform. Thu, 21 Aug, 2003 | 325 Click(s) | Detail

Bliss 501C: Intel Centrino + ATI M9 Graphics [Review, Digit Life]
Finally I've got a production sample of the Bliss 501C notebook PC.

Sony Vaio TR1A [Review, Hardwarecentral]
Slimline designs are the fashion for most Intel Centrino notebooks (including Sony's own Z1), but this model takes thicker-but-smaller subnotebook style to new heights. Want everything from DVD-ROM/CD-RW and WiFi to a super-bright, wide-aspect-ratio screen and no-kidding three- to four-hour battery life in a 3.2-pound package? Get in line.

Gateway 200XL [Review, Hardwarecentral]
The last few Gateway notebooks we've reviewed have been nice but, well ... square? Chunky? Sort of generic? But the vendor's new Intel Centrino slimline stands out from the crowd, with swift performance in a sleek, stylish, 4.3-pound package. The only problem is one $99 option that should definitely be standard equipment. Thu, 31 Jul, 2003 | 223 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Apple G4 Powerbook [Review, Hexus]
My attention was finally captured by Apple's 15" Superdrive monster in a tiny package. Even though the news, adverts and Apple PR is dominated by the 'newer' 12-inch and 17-inch models, the 15-inch should not be ignored, as it is 'almost' as powerful as Apples current flagship notebook computer.

Other vendors may mark down generic, 7-pound laptops to $1,025, but newcomer Averatec offers a sleek 4.5-pound compact for that price, complete with DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive and wireless networking. Is this the briefcase bargain of the year, or is there one nasty catch?
