Asus UL30Vt

Looks, low noise, endurance and performance... not asking for much! We could be speaking about the editorial team or perhaps our readers, but no, what we're talking about here are today's two laptops, an Asus and a Sony! 2 newcomers for our product survey: 2 new exceptional ultras.

The first is affordable, can handle most tasks and has a battery life on a par with a netbook. It's the Asus UL30Vt.

The second is a Sony which really does stand out from the lot. Slimline thanks to its carbon fibre and aluminium shell, a studied design and, in spite of its size, monstruous performance! The Sony Vaio VPC Z11 sends in the big guns!
