Sony Vaio VPCCA1S1E review

The 14-inch Sony Vaio C series VPCCA1S1E has a striking, deliberately plasticky design, and comes in a range of colours you'll either love or despise. Sadly, the rest of the laptop isn't as unique -- it's a fairly average machine, overall. Read more

Samsung RV511-S01 review

The Samsung RV511 doesn't blow our minds in terms of design or portability, but with a Core i3 processor, 6GB of RAM and a dedicated graphics card, this laptop packs great performance for the price. Read more

MSI CX623 review

The MSI CX623 is a decent performer with a quirky design that you might just learn to love. You can find other laptops that offer better performance for a similar price, though. 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

Acer Aspire 5551 review

The 15.6-inch Aspire 5551 isn't the most portable laptop in the world, since it's a fairly chunky beast and its battery life isn't great. But our configuration made up for that by offering speedy performance, courtesy of its triple-core AMD processor, at a reasonable price Read more

Acer Aspire 5553G review

The 15.6-inch Aspire 5553G laptop is about as visually exciting as a roof tile, but Acer's baked some pretty tasty components into this rather affordable pie. Chief among them is a quad-core AMD processor that delivers impressive performance 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
