Reviews of Laptops

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.
Verdict: The $1,099 2.1GHz MacBook comes with 1GB of RAM. The 2.4GHz MacBooks (one white, the other black) come with 2GB; the models they replaced came with 1GB. All MacBooks support to up 4GB of RAM. As before, Apple recommends installing RAM in matched pairs int
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.

Cons: • Mediocre Wi-Fi performance • Lacks integrated optical drive • No widescreen option

Title: Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.4GHz)
Pros: Updated CPUs and graphics without an updated price; LED-backlit display for better battery life; 802.11n support
Cons: Minimal configuration options; only 90 days of complimentary technical support; still no media card reader
Verdict: Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price
Summary: The Apple MacBook Pro has been refreshed and reenergised. While the looks are essentially the same as last year's model, you'll find faster processors and a new chipset, plus more memory and a larger hard drive. With more muscle under the hood, this Pro c
