"None (of the CE devices) we tested surpass the Series 5's balance of features, price and battery life. Smoothly transferring files to and from Windows95 and NT applications via the included PsiWin, the Series 5 is a pleasure to use." [Editor's Choice] | USA | Mar-98 |
| Personal Computer World | "Touch-typing is a serious limitation in today's PDA, and only Psion has cracked it with the keyboard on the Series 5." | UK | Feb-98 |

| PC Pro | "The Series 5 is top of the league both ergonomically and in the quality of its applications. It beats any of the Windows CE machines - and really is the consummate PDA for the power user. With its excellent keyboard, responsive operating system and powerful applications, the Series 5 is the PDA you're most likely to want as a replacement for a notebook. Need we say more - it's a justifiable Quality winner." | UK | Jan-98 |
| Information Week | "What you need is a device that offers you the essential functionality of a note book but will slip in your jacket pocket, so that it's always available. That device has arrived - the Psion Series 5. Its battery life is two or three times better than its rivals, which makes for a less hassled life on the road. The Series 5 is quite simply the best handheld you can buy." | USA | Jan-98 |

| Pen Computing Magazine | "Fully modern in every way, EPOC32 is admirably small and fast... Performance and memory handling is top-notch... makes Windows CE machines look like toys by comparison." | USA | Aug-97 |
| Chicago Tribune | "Quite frankly, the software that Psion came up with while making pocket-size electronic organizers is much better adapted to the hand-held computer environment than is the organizer software in CE developed first for full-size desktop computers, then dumbed down to run on palm tops." | USA | July 27, 1997 |

"Far more screen space, though; the permanent menu items are on touch-sensitive extensions to the LCD, and there's none of the clutter from the Windows 95 design which limits a Windows CE display to about four lines of text in between menus, pointers and control buttons." | UK | Jun-97 |
