Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, spring 2010) review

Apple's latest 15-inch MacBook Pros look similar to their predecessors in terms of appearance, but their innards have received a welcome power boost. We'd still like to see an HDMI port, Blu-ray drive and 3G connectivity, but the high-end model that we reviewed delivered pleasingly powerful performance Read more

HP Mini 5102 review

The 10.1-inch Mini 5102 is an updated version of one of yesteryear's better netbooks, the Mini 5101. While it doesn't really deliver any performance improvements, it's a solidly built machine that now offers a number of configuration options, including a touchscreen Read more

Eee PC 1005PE review

The 10.1-inch Eee PC 1005PE is the first netbook we've seen with Intel's next-gen Atom N450 CPU. This chip doesn't offer a massive performance boost over previous Atom offerings, but it does contribute to this system's excellent battery life, and the 1005PE is a handsome machine to boot Read more

Alienware M15x review

Capable of being configured to your heart's delight, the 15.6-inch M15x gaming laptop can quickly become very pricey, and it's not particularly portable either, but there's no denying that it's a powerful performer. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better-built or faster 15-inch laptop Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, summer 2009) review

The latest update to Apple's premium 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor modifications. Nevertheless, a faster CPU, better battery and the addition of an SD card slot, together with a price cut, make it a substantial improvement on its predecessor Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, summer 2009) review

Apple has promoted its basic 13-inch, aluminium unibody MacBook to the Pro series, adding more features while reducing the price of the base configuration. The end result is one of the most universally useful laptops available, although there's still some features we'd like to see included Read more

Samsung N110 review

One of Samsung's confusing brood of similar-sounding netbooks, the N110 has a good keyboard and an excellent trackpad. While not as thin as something like the HP Mini 1000, Samsung gets points for making a netbook with a long-life, six-cell battery that doesn't look like it has a kickstand Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch unibody) review

The redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro has an aluminium unibody design, a new multitouch trackpad and a dual-graphics set-up for boosting either battery life or performance. Those tweaks, combined with excellent performance and impressive battery life, help to make it an appealing, but expensive, laptop Read more

HP Mini 2140 review

The Mini 2140, HP's latest stab at the netbook format, is solidly built and well designed. It's perfectly capable of handling typical netbook tasks and the fantastic keyboard is our favourite so far on a netbook. HP has also managed to keep the price down, making this the netbook to beat Read more

HP Mini 1000 review

Hewlett-Packard may be arriving late to the netbook scene with its Mini 1000, but the reasonably priced, lightweight netbook looks to be a serious contender. It has a thinner body than its predecessor, the 2133 Mini-Note, but retains the large, comfortable keyboard. Also, Intel's 1.6GHz Atom CPU offers good computing power Read more
