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

Sony Vaio VPCF21Z1E/BI hands-on

The 16-inch Sony Vaio VPCF21Z1E/BI offers some cool 3D features and really powerful innards. You'll need a little sit down and a warm drink after seeing its price tag, however. Read more

HP Envy 14-1195ea Beats Edition review

If you're after a stylish desktop-replacement machine, this is a cool twist on the Envy line of laptops. The trackpad is quite annoying though, and there's no Blu-ray player on board, so think carefully before throwing down your notes. 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

Alienware M17x (Core i7) review

Alienware has updated its high-end, 17-inch M17x gaming laptop with some new components, and the result is an incredibly powerful machine. Using it feels like getting punched in the face by God -- in a good way. It's expensive, though, and it's about as portable as a bath full of cement Read more
