GETAC B300
Reviews Like many seriously rugged notebooks, the B300 is an expensive piece of kit. We particularly like the 'sunlight readable' screen option and touch-screen capability, although its 4:3 aspect ratio makes this 13.3in. notebook seem a little dated.

Reviews The TravelMate 8371 is solidly built, although the degree of flex in the keyboard may annoy some users. If you need an integrated optical drive, look to one of the larger models. Otherwise, enjoy the excellent battery life.

HTC Hero
Reviews The Android platform has come of age in the Hero. HTC's Sense interface is superbly implemented, the device itself is intuitive to use, and the software is largely well thought-out. We'd have liked more internal memory, longer battery life and a better camera though.

Acer Tempo M900
Reviews We like the Acer M900's large 3.8in. screen, but its slide-out QWERTY keyboard is less successful. Acer's Shell user interface may not appeal to all, but the fingerprint reader is welcome.

Reviews Samsung's 15.4in. R510 might not be an automatic choice for business use, but it could fit the bill if you need to combine work and leisure on a stylish yet affordable notebook.

HTC Touch Pro 2
Reviews HTC's best smartphone yet features a tilting screen, a good QWERTY keyboard and a responsive touch interface. The high-resolution screen is also superb. Our only real concern is battery life.

Dell Latitude XT2
Reviews The Dell Latitude XT2's key feature is its largely successful multi-touch capability. Build quality is excellent, but the absence of an integrated optical drive is a nuisance and battery life is disappointing.

Toshiba TG01
Reviews The slim and sleek TG01's hardware design breaks new ground, while the 4.1in. screen is great for media-rich activities. Unfortunately the user interface is eccentric, and battery life is very disappointing.
