Advent Verona review
The thin-and-light Verona laptop has an ultra-low-voltage processor, a 13.3-inch screen and a decidedly budget price tag. As such, you can't expect top-notch performance, but, if you need a lightweight machine for Office-type tasks, it may well fit the bill. It's fairly attractive too Read more

Acer Aspire One Pro 531 review
It may be specifically aimed at business users, but the 10.1-inch Aspire One Pro 531 runs with the netbook pack when it comes to its specification. Its extra-long battery life is a definite plus point though, and its no-nonsense design will undoubtedly appeal to some Read more

Sony Vaio X series (VPCX11S1E/B) review
We defy anyone not to be impressed by the 11.1-inch Vaio VPCX11S1E/B ultra-portable laptop. It offers netbook-esque performance and it's ludicrously expensive, but it's remarkably thin and light, and Sony's made surprisingly few compromises considering how slender it is Read more

Advent Roma 1000 review
The 15.6-inch Roma 1000 is one of the cheapest Windows 7 laptops that money can currently buy. Considering its low price, it's also tastefully designed, and its keyboard is particularly good. Capable of handling most productivity tasks, it's worth a look for bargain hunters Read more

Advent Roma 3000 review
The 15.6-inch Roma 3000 sports a particularly good keyboard, and its capable dual-core processor makes it much better suited to multi-tasking than the cheaper Roma 1000. Its battery life is disappointing and we'd prefer it to run the 64-bit version of Windows 7, but it's a solid budget laptop overall Read more

HP Compaq 6735s review
Whether its sober design will appeal depends on your tastes, but there's no denying that the 15.4-inch Compaq 6735s is a well-built machine. Its full-size keyboard is comfortable to type on, the matte finish on the screen means it's legible in all lighting conditions, and it's a capable performer too Read more

Acer Aspire 6530 review
The configuration of the 16-inch Acer Aspire 6530 desktop-replacement laptop that we tested, the 6530-623G25Mn, is a stylish beast. While its AMD processor can't quite match Intel's offerings, it's a good all-rounder nevertheless, and it comes at a reasonable price too Read more

Toshiba Satellite L350 review
The 17-inch laptops in Toshiba's Satellite L350 series are a decent choice if you lack the space for a desktop PC. They're not particularly attractive or suited to gaming, but, considering their price, they make precious few compromises when it comes to usability Read more

Elonex Websurfer review
The Websurfer won't make a satisfactory main computer, but it's a good choice if you're after a lightweight and inexpensive netbook for Web surfing and basic productivity tasks. At this price, the solid build quality and integrated VoIP phone are welcome bonuses Read more

Elonex ONEt+ review
With a rock-bottom price tag and plasticky design, we were all set to hate the 7-inch, Debian Linux-based ONEt+ netbook. But we couldn't. Surprisingly responsive, and very small and light, it's a great choice for children and undemanding adults seeking a straightforward ultra-portable Read more
