Reviews 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.

HP Compaq 6720s
Reviews The 6720s is a budget business notebook that could fit the bill if you don't need serious CPU or graphics power, and are likely to spend most of your time in the office rather than on the road.

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook S6420

Toshiba Satellite Pro U300
Reviews The U300 is available in a wide range of configurations, making it a flexible option. The build quality could be better in places and the keyboard is distinctly spongy. It's a good performer, though, and nicely designed.
Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9200
Reviews Fujitsu Siemens' Esprimo Mobile U9200 delivers solid build quality and a reasonable set of features, including integrated 3G/HSDPA connectivity. The company will need to clearly differentiate its new Esprimos from the existing LifeBook range though.
HP Compaq 2710p
Reviews The HP Compaq 2710p stands out by virtue of its stylish design. It's not the lightest ultraportable, though, and many mobile professionals will want to specify the 3G option. The lack of an optical drive and a touchpad may also bother some potential buyers.
Toshiba Portégé R600-101
Reviews 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.

Sony Vaio VGN-TT11WN/B
Reviews 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.

Sony Vaio VGN-BZ11MN
Reviews The Vaio VGN-BZ11MN is a cost-effective 15.4in. Centrino 2 notebook. It's solidly built if somewhat uninspiring, and you may want to opt for its £100 more expensive stablemate to get a higher-resolution screen.
