An excellent take on ATI’s new technology, complete with custom cooling and great performance

Out of the box water cooled graphics, now that's fresh.

It's a sign of the times when Compaq's Aero 8000 runs Windows CE in a box bigger than a Sharp PC-A250 (reviewed issue 23, p86) running Windows 98. So what's the big idea? Windows CE uses no moving parts, while software in ROM means immediate start-up times, high reliability, and long battery life all highly desirable qualities in a portable.

ATI gives the integrated graphics world a kick in the arse, John Gillooly feels the vibrations.

A little over a year has passed since releasing the GeForce 6800, and right on cue, NVIDIA’s new chip is hitting town in the form of the GeForce 7800 GTX.

The T100 is a compact pedestal server and its combination of value and features makes it well worth considering

A solid but unremarkable notebook offering a good set of features and excellent warranty.

It's not big, but it's brave - powered by the Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz processor, the classy looking Beyond Avrora was not afraid to show its muscles, scoring very well in office related tasks.

Nvidia's first HDMI graphics card, complete with HDCP compatibility and decent performance.

The ATI HD 4800s hit a sweet-spot of performance and price. If you're after high-end performance at a few hundred dollars less than the 4870, then this is your card

Not all multimedia notebooks have to weigh in around the $5000 mark. Digital Star’s 15.4in widescreen PowerNote Z71V offers very good value for money for a laptop sporting a 2GHz Pentium M, 1GB of RAM and a 128MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 graphics chip.

Lenovo’s diminutive business portable packs in high performance, great battery life and top build quality.

A good-looking, ergonomically excellent laptop with a wealth of multimedia capabilities for home users.

Good features for the price. It’s just not very exciting.

A well priced portable that doesn't skimp on features, and packs a suprisingly powerful punch.

The screen isn't great, but everything else about this notebook is very good indeed.

Intel’s push on Centrino notebook branding has only made it so far in the six months since its introduction. So far prices have been high for Centrino notebooks, although Emagen looks set to change this mindset, now offering the N1000 model as a cost-effective alternative option to top of the line name brand notebooks with all the bells and whistles.

Well made, lots of goodies and an improved interface make this the best touch-only phone from HTC so far.

The design is impeccable, the build superb and the screen extraordinary, but the price is a huge barrier. We ponder the icon that is the Macbook Pro 17in

Fast, well built and superbly featured - our business laptop of choice.
