Sony Vaio VGN-UX1XN review

Sony has achieved something very exciting, squeezing Windows Vista on to a computer smaller than even the teeniest ultra-portable laptop. Solid-state memory makes it quick to boot up too. Read more

Toshiba Qosmio G30-163 review

Toshiba's G30 range comes in six different guises -- three with an HD DVD drive, three without. You'd be forgiven for thinking the £2,199 G30 is crammed to the hilt with the latest components, but apart from the HD DVD-ROM drive, it's shockingly under-equipped by modern standards Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.33GHz) review

This sleek, aluminium MacBook Pro is the same size and shape as its predecessor but is boosted by Intel's latest-and-greatest processor -- Core 2 Duo. For Apple devotees, it's the little things that count, and this model has a handful of extras that help it stand out amid a fairly generic field of competitors Read more

Alienware m9700 review

Alienware is usually quick off the starting blocks when it comes to a new graphics configuration or technology, but with the m9700 it stands out for another reason -- it's decked out in a rather garish shade of Cyborg Green. It's difficult to fault the core spec, though -- 2GB of RAM and a 2.2GHz processor -- and its 17-inch display is great for gaming Read more

Alienware Aurora mALX review

The Aurora mALX is arguably the most audacious gaming laptop in Alienware's line-up. Not only is it airbrushed to give it a 'gamer' aesthetic, but it's also the first laptop to use 1GB of dedicated graphics memory -- giving it arguably the greatest graphics performance seen outside of a high-end gaming rig Read more

rockdirect Xtreme SL review

The rockdirect Xtreme SL is one of the first laptops to use two graphics cards. It sounds the death knell for the days when laptops were perceived as poor gaming devices, and is part of a new breed of laptop that uses a 19-inch screen. It might be rather dull to look at, but boy, can it shift polygons Read more

rockdirect Xtreme 64 review

Not content with making the first laptop to use a dual-core CPU, rockdirect has also crammed in an Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX Go graphics adaptor, the fastest mobile graphics chip available. This is not so much a desktop replacement as an improvement -- but it's very expensive, very hot and very, very heavy Read more

rockdirect Xtreme Ti review

While some may be put off by the Xtreme Ti's overwhelming weight and extortionate price, bulky laptops like this are the only option if you need cutting-edge gaming performance in a luggable device. The design isn't as extreme as the Alienware's Area 51m, but that might be an advantage if you want it for tasks other than eye-bleedingly fast gaming Read more

Lenovo ThinkPad X32 review

Frequent travellers who burn the midnight oil would do well to consider the ThinkPad X32. This ultraportable offers enough keyboard and screen space, battery life, and connectivity to get some serious work done on the road. Yet despite all of these perks, it still weighs well under 2kg Read more
