Toshiba Portege Z830 review
This is Toshiba’s first foray in to the ultrabook market, and, as you might expect the Portege Z830 caters for business use mixing lightweight mobility with lightspeed processing. Toshiba’s Portege range focuses on mobile computing, which is normally to the detriment of things like connectivity. Some models also have a fragile feel to them, but [...]
Dell XPS 14z review
The Dell XPS 14z is the smaller version of Dell’s XPS 15z laptop. The latter was already very much a commuter-friendly device, but the 14z is ever so slightly slimmer and lighter. Does that mean it’s the better laptop? What we like best The brushed metal finish, reminiscent of the Apple MacBook Pro laptops has [...]
Will the Atom be smashed?
Dell has unveiled news today that their netbook line, the Dell Mini, will cease production. With slumping sales figures for netbooks across most brands, it’s likely 2012 will be a year of ultrabooks and tablets. It’s for the Intel Atom we lament – this nifty little processor may fall out of production. Its Raison d’être [...]

ACER Aspire 5943G 15 inch laptop review
The Acer Aspire Ethos 5943G is past of Acer’s reliably convincing entertainment laptop range. It foregoes the sharp visuals of some competitors, but manages to keep the price down and packs some other very well-executed features. What we like best The Aspire 5943G looks great – its keyboard is brushed aluminium, and the palmrest has [...]
Don’t get too excited about the Toshiba Excite, coming in early 2012 – to Canada
Toshiba are set to launch a 10.1 Honeycomb tablet next year, titled Toshiba Excite, the company confirmed today. Apart from the grammatically dodgy name (surely it should be ‘Excitement’?), the tablet is looking pretty tasty: Slash Gear reported that the Excite will run on a dual-core 1.2GHz Texas Instruments OMAP4 processor and that its screen [...]
ASUS Eee Pad Slider tablet review
The ASUS Eee Pad Slider has a lot to live up to. Its predecessor, the Eee Pad Transformer was universally lauded as a huge step forward for Android tablets, and with tablets increasingly pushing netbooks off the shelves, it’s important that the Slider keeps up the momentum. What we like best The USP of this [...]
