which make brilliant use of the touch screen and the tablet form factor

Even if a child does wander off with the Pivot Tablet, the case is designed to resist some rough handling and spills. Be aware, though, that the battery can get quite hot.

A small button just below the LCD lets you toggle among seven different power modes, including ones for high performance, movie viewing, and conservation.

Like those of many ultraportables, the S6F’s keyboard is a little cramped. Also, the buttons on the mouse pad are somewhat stiff.

But with its MediaSmart multimedia-management applications, which make brilliant use of the touch screen and the tablet form factor, the TouchSmart tx2z is a good fit for anyone who wants a multimedia-savvy ultraportable with a twist.

The ThinkPad T400s is almost a pound lighter and half an inch thinner than the T400, while also delivering impressive productivity performance and every feature a business or prosumer buyer could want.

The $1,599 starting price is fair given the technological advancements the platform delivers, and our fully loaded model 441462-251 came in at a not-unreasonable $2,130.

This $974 laptop does have other things going for it, however—namely, respectable HP EV089AA Battery performance and a superb display.The HP Envy line’s name is wonderfully cheeky.

But while the smaller Envy 13 is similar in performance to its Apple counterpart, the powerhouse Envy 15’s performance, design, and feature set might just turn the tables and have the Mac crowd lusting after HP’s entry.

With a fast CPU, excellent video and audio, slick design, and a price that’s low for a Core i7 notebook, about the only thing that disappoints here is battery life.

You can install any laptop-size 2.5-inch hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD), so long as it complies with the Serial ATA (SATA) standard, and any single stick of SO-DIMM laptop RAM, so long as it’s approved DDR2.

Plus, a few hidden perks like a surprise SIM-card slot for mobile broadband connectivity and a Webcam that finally produced pleasantly ungrainy pictures made this netbook a steal with its low pricetag.
