WHAT LAPTOP MOBILE COMPUTING AWARDS 2007
08/08/2005

The last 12 months have been an exciting time for mobile computing. While every other sector of the industry has seen slight growth, the every expanding range of portable computers and related services has been staggering.

The WL Awards are held to honour the excellence of the mobile computing community. To this end, these Awards are nominated by and voted on by the readers of the magazine and its website. We believe this is the most accurate way of judging which companies and machines are meeting the needs of the paying public.

You’ve been nominating who you believe have offered the best laptops, handhelds, as well as services in the last year. In each section you will find this year’s nominees, so let voting commence.
