Sony VAIO VGN-TZ31MN/N

The Sony VAIO VGN-TZ31MN/N is an important laptop for Sony – it’s been a big player in the ultra-portable market for some time, but a host of competitors have emerged in the last few months that look set to steal some of its market share.

The Eee PC massively undercut most manufacturers on price and offered unprecedented portability for a budget machine; the Lenovo X300 ThinkPad brought features galore in a tiny package, as long as money was no object; and the Apple MacBook Air offers unrivalled style and a razor-thin chassis. So, the new TZ31MN is Sony’s answer to these pretenders to the ultra-portable throne.

Intel has been demonstrating a number of Centrino Atom-powered laptops at its developer forum in Shanghai this week. Asus has already announced plans to incorporate the Atom into its Eee PC 900, but two other manufacturers already have Atom-powered Eee alternatives up and running.

Thinno (no, really) has two laptops on show, one running Linux and the other Windows XP. Both have 1.6GHz Atom processors, 512Mb RAM and 7in 800 x 480 screens. The other laptop appears to be a mystery prototype.

Hands-on with the Asus N20 - an N10 netbook teaser

By Julian Prokaza on Thursday, 25 September 2008

If you were already bewildered by Asus’ ever-expanding Eee PC range of low cost laptops, here’s some bad news – there’s more to come. Its new N-Series, however, is from its laptop division (Eee PCs are produced by a separate Eee PC division, natch), which makes them rather interesting.

Rather more interesting is that in addition to three stylish Core 2 Duo models with a range of specifications, there's also an entry-level N10 model that uses an Intel Atom processor, which makes it another new netbook. More details – and our hands-on video – after the cut.
