Laptops

This affordable ultra thin offers the portability and battery life of a netbook married to the power and storage space of a full-size laptop. It’s fully equipped to display HD graphics and videos, and its HDMI output means you can easily hook it up to your living room HDTV when you need a larger picture.

Thanks to its IceCool design, the shimmery zig-zag-finished X5DC maintains a comfortably low temperature at its palm rest, even after hours of use. Its similarly smart power management delivers up to two and a half hours of mobile use, while the high quality Altec Lansing speakers ensure you get big, beefy sound to accompany the crisp images on the hi-res widescreen.

Cutting a very trim figure, the aluminium-finished UL30 boasts a truly impressive nine-hour battery life to ensure it’s always ready to perform. This long life comes courtesy of a ULV processor and GraphiX Boost tech, which switches from dedicated to integrated graphics processing when full power isn’t required.
