Title: Toshiba Tecra A9
Pros: Good battery life; Solid build; Lightweight and portable
Cons: Poor screen; Low on power
Verdict: This being a business machine we would have expected Vista Business to be installed, which offers better networking and security features than the home version
Summary: The Toshiba Tecra A9 isn't the most powerful of laptops, but it does offer great portability

Title: Toshiba Portege R500 (PPR50A-00V05C)
Pros: Very compact, Good range of ports, Built-in 3G wireless
Cons: A bit pricey, Screen seems a little flimsy, Mouse pad and keys need improvement
Verdict: A remarkably compact, but complete machine -- ideal for business travellers.
Summary: Toshiba's updated R500 is a remarkably compact and complete machine, making it ideal for business travellers. However, at $3,300 you are paying extra for the privilege of a lighter load, and the screen is a little flimsy.

Title: Minor update brings performance boost, larger hard drives, and more RAM
Pros: Solid performance; 2GB of RAM standard; larger hard drive than previous model.
Cons: $200 premium for color and larger hard drive; no video adapters or Apple Remote in the box.

Summary: Macworld Lab has been putting the new MacBooks to the test. Benchmarks show that the new MacBooks, based on Intel's new Penryn processor, offer a modest speed increase over the previous MacBooks.

Title: Apple MacBook Pro
Pros: Market-leading design; dual-core; excellent software; RC & Web camera
Cons: Needs software support; single-button mouse; only two USB ports; no DL burner
Verdict: Looks & runs great, but design pros don't yet have the software support
