Lightweight but perfect for heavy duty business, this ultraportable is sure to impress.

Revolutionary features and stunning power: for anyone lucky enough to have the cash, the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is the ultimate mobile workstation

A real prizefighter of a laptop: powerful, well-built and reasonably mobile, too

Well designed, solid and well-featured, but the battery life sells it short.

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

A good netbook with lots of storage, but battery life keeps it from being great

Light, packed with features and with superb battery life: the ideal business notebook.

In a world filled with gorgeous Sony, Apple and even Dell laptops, a sober, matte black machine aimed at consumers has to be truly special to turn heads. The IdeaPad Y430 is a well-built Centrino 2 machine that lacks nothing in the way of features, speed or value

Like Volvos of old, Lenovo was a solid, reliable and unexciting name. Up until now. The business-masters have turned out a very desirable, stylish and powerful laptop.

A new way forward for ultraportables, combining an incredible low weight with unrivalled ergonomic excellence

Not a stylish machine, but it’s good value, well built and boasts surprisingly impressive battery life

Well built and with astonishing battery life to boot. It’s pricey but decent value.

Great ergonomics are let down by a few mediocre components and limited portability. But some features will tempt many.

A notebook fortress to equip your workforce with confidence, but sub-par performance.

Durable, powerful and packed with security features. A phenomenal ultraportable.

While many ultraportable laptops, like the Toshiba R200 go all out to get size and weight to an absolute minimum, a great deal of usability is often sacrificed – the X505 is impractically small for constant daily usage while the R200 has limited battery sizes.
