Alienware M14x hands-on

The 14-inch Alienware M14x laptop will devour your games and then demand seconds. Our pre-production sample's appearance failed to match its inner beauty, though, due to a dim display and less-than-perfect keyboard. Read more

Samsung R530 review

The 15.6-inch Samsung R530 offers a good design and build quality but other laptops offer better performance for a similar price. Unless you're ultra-keen on the design, we'd advise shopping around before splashing out Read more

Samsung R780 review

For the price, the 17.3-inch R780 is a great multimedia laptop. It looks great, it's comfortable to use and it offers solid performance, as well as an impressively bright screen. Its battery life is fairly pants, but otherwise it'll serve you well without breaking the bank Read more

Samsung R730 review

The 17.3-inch R730 desktop-replacement laptop is big, red and cheap -- and we like it. You won't get mind-melting performance from it, but it's an attractive and dependable day-to-day machine that will serve well for both business and pleasure purposes Read more

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 review

Lenovo's Edge range of affordable, business-centric laptops boast 'progressive, sophisticated' designs intended to combat the yawns usually associated with the ThinkPad brand. In reality, that means a red lid. Perhaps not enough to stifle the dreariness, but it's a solid performer nonetheless Read more

Sony Vaio CW series (VPCCW1S1E) review

The 14-inch Vaio VPCCW1S1E is an excellent entertainment laptop. It looks stylish, its screen handles movies well, and, as usual with Sony machines, its keyboard is very good. It's no slouch in the performance stakes either, offering enough power to satisfy all but the most demanding gamer Read more

Dell Studio 15 review

Sitting beween the budget Inspiron and high-end XPS, Dell's new Studio line is personified by the Dell Studio 15. This desktop replacement is a colourful and customisable option for those looking for a good mix of features and reasonable performance without paying the Earth Read more

Dell XPS M1530 review

While most people don't think 'sexy' when they think of desktop replacements, Dell's turn towards a 'design-first' philosophy pays off with its XPS M1530. It's easily the best-looking 15-inch laptop in recent memory with a thin profile and light weight -- this laptop may change minds Read more

Dell Inspiron 1520 review

Choose from eight vibrant colours with the new Dell Inspiron 1520. Its large screen, good performance and sensible price tag paint a pretty picture, too Read more
