AJP M555N-E review

The M555N-E impresses thanks to its striking silver finish, and it's light and compact enough for any frequent traveller. It also comes with a free 3G card for high-speed Internet connection away from a Wi-Fi hotspot, and it's good value for money. Don't expect it to run games, though -- its performance is disappointing Read more

Asus A7J review

Multimedia enthusiasts will love the A7J's Media Center operating system, with its incorporated Freeview tuner, as well as its solid performance, and its gaming abilities should appeal to FPS fans. While it excels in most areas, potential buyers should beware of models with the paltry 60GB hard drive we saw Read more

Acer Travelmate 8204WLMi review

We're not joking. Acer has sped this Core Duo laptop to market, and it's the real thing: portable, with excellent battery life and it's blisteringly quick. It may not be the epitome of style, and dedicated gaming laptops may have better graphics cards, but for under £2,000, this is a fantastic bargain Read more

Apple iBook G4 (14-inch) review

Much faster than its predecessor, this iBook has plenty of features, a stylish design and a low price (for Apple). But the much faster iBooks with Intel Core Duo processors should be along shortly, so we'd advise you wait Read more

Samsung X1 review

The standout features of the Samsung X1 are its superb wide-aspect 14-inch screen, good multimedia features and lightweight, stylish design. A lack of a wrist-rest made typing uncomfortable, but its battery life, with the optional extra battery attached, is an impressive ten hours 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

Asus W2Vc review

A powerful, feature-rich laptop, the W2Vc offers impressive performance and a fairly attractive design. It's not the cheapest of laptops, or the most portable, but it's worth considering if you want a good all-rounder with a strong focus on multimedia Read more

Sony Vaio S5VP review

Featuring the Intel 915GM chipset and the latest iteration of Centrino, the S5VP is ideal for those who want a truly portable laptop that can still deliver strong performance. It's not perfect, though -- it runs hot, it's occasionally noisy and it's pricey Read more

Apple PowerBook G4 (12-inch, SuperDrive) review

The 12-inch PowerBook offers a better combination of power, features and battery life for the price than any other Apple laptop. It's priced above most of the competition at this size, but you get a roomy 80GB hard drive, a DVD burner and an absolutely best-in-class software package Read more

Alienware Area-51 m5700 review

Some aspects of its specification have been eclipsed by newer components, and it's enormously pricey in comparison to laptops from smaller vendors, but if you prefer big-name brands, this Alienware is a worthy contender. Read more
