Sony VAIO VGN-NR310E Review

Price as Reviewed: $599.00

Thanks to its svelte, silver finish and overall good looks, the Sony VAIO VGN-NR310E looks more expensive than its $599 price tag.

Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 with WWAN Review

The Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 is a solid tablet notebook. This updated model has AT&T BroadbandConnect HSPA integrated though. Besides that the design and chassis are the same.

HP 2133 Mini-Note (XP) Review

Price as Reviewed: $729.00

When we first reviewed the Vista version of the HP 2133 Mini-Note, we praised the system for its excellent keyboard, crisp display, sturdy build, and wealth of connectivity options. Now we’ve gotten our hands on the XP configuration, and although it provides roughly the same user experience, it’s a welcome addition for those who want the familiarity and snappier performance of XP. The Mini-Note ($729 as configured) is a bit more expensive and weighs more than competing mini-notebooks, but the system’s unique strengths make it a good investment for students, mobile professionals, and anyone else looking for an affordable, highly portable computer.
