Acer Aspire V5-571P review

The Acer Aspire V5-571P boasts a touch-enabled screen and a low price tag. Sadly, it doesn't offer much else. Read more

Acer TravelMate Timeline 8481T review

The Acer TravelMate Timeline 8481T boasts a slim design -- albeit with a bulging battery -- a slim bezel, fair performance and security extras making it a good choice for the business-minded. Read more

Toshiba Portege R700 review

The Toshiba Portege R700 is an impressively portable laptop, both in terms of size and weight. But we've seen cheaper machines that offer better displays and performance than our R700-160 configuration. Read more

Lenovo IdeaPad U450p review

The Lenovo IdeaPad U450p valiantly tries to straddle the gap between an ultra-portable and a desktop-replacement laptop, but, ultimately, it comes up short. Read more

Samsung X420 review

An ultraportable laptop that boasts impressive battery life, a 14-inch screen and a delightfully lightweight frame, the Samsung X420 has much to recommend it. But with high-end netbooks proving more and more compelling, does it do enough to justify its price? Read more

ViewSonic ViewBook Pro review

The 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro borrows heavily from Apple's MacBook Pro in terms of design, but it costs significantly less. As long as you don't push it too hard, it'll make a decent travel companion. It also packs some useful extras, such as a fingerprint reader that lets you log into your favourite Web sites without a password Read more

Sony Vaio Y series (VPCY11M1E/S) review

The slender, 13.3-inch Vaio VPCY11M1E/S won't make you yelp with excitement when it comes to performance, but it is very comfortable to use, with an excellent keyboard. Its funky bundled software also allows you to share media between the laptop and other devices, such as a PlayStation 3 or television Read more

Toshiba Satellite U500 review

The 13.3-inch Satellite U500 is thick and heavy, but it looks great, with an appealing brown finish. Its keyboard is very comfortable, its performance is decent, if not mind-blowing, and it's available with a touchscreen, if that's your bag. Just don't expect the best image quality in the world Read more

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

Advent Altro review

The 13.3-inch Altro is an unashamed attempt to emulate the MacBook Air. Considering it's almost half the price, it doesn't do too bad a job. Offering 3GB of RAM, strong wireless capabilities and a good keyboard, it's worth a look for those after a relatively cheap thin-and-light laptop Read more
