ZDNet is available in the following editions:
Dell's smallest Latitude is a 1kg, 12.1in. ultraportable that benefits from a fast solid-state hard drive and integrated mobile broadband. However, it lacks an optical drive and, inexplicably, a webcam. Read more

The Latitude E6500 is an attractive 15.4in. notebook, not least because you can configure it to closely match your needs. The backlit keyboard is well executed, and we also like the auto-adjusting screen brightness. Read more

This 12.1in. ultraportable updates the CF-T7, but some key features are still missing, notably a wide aspect ratio screen, an optical drive and a webcam. If you need ruggedness and a touch-screen, then it's a reasonable choice. Otherwise, it's a little short on features. Read more

HP's EliteBook 6930p is a solidly built 'thin and light' system that comes in a wide range of configurations. We have reservations about the entry-level screen resolution and USB port placement, but overall this is a decent mobile business workhorse. Read more

The Portégé R600 is a very alluring 1.11kg ultraportable, although the transflective screen mode, some aspects of build quality and battery life could all be better. Read more

This is an attractive ultraportable with a high-quality screen, a good keyboard and integrated mobile broadband. But for the (high) asking price we'd expect a larger hard drive, a better webcam, more USB ports and better graphics performance. Read more

The Portégé M750 is a solidly built convertible Tablet PC. We like the dual-mode (stylus/finger) touch-screen and a number of other design elements. However, it's cumbersome to use in tablet mode, while graphics performance and battery life are disappointing. Read more

Fujitsu Siemens' Esprimo Mobile U9210 is a solidly built, if chunky, ultraportable that should cope well with life on the road. Battery life could be better, though, and we'd prefer a bigger screen and more USB ports. Read more

The ThinkPad SL500 is attractively priced, solidly built and a good performer. We're particularly impressed with the high-resolution 15.4in. screen. However, there are one or two design quirks, the webcam is basic and battery life could be longer. Read more

Samsung's Q210 is a trendy-looking 12.1in. notebook with appeal beyond its nominal consumer niche. It's an excellent performer with a great keyboard and plenty of wireless options. Read more
