Sony Vaio S series (VPCS11V9E/B) review

The 13.3-inch Vaio S-series VPCS11V9E/B laptop is a respectable replacement for a desktop PC. Its battery life isn't particularly inspiring, but it compensates for this with its strong performance, comfortable keyboard, and handy integrated 3G modem, for go-anywhere Internet access Read more

Sony Vaio Y series (VPCY11M1E/S) review

The slender, 13.3-inch Vaio VPCY11M1E/S won't make you yelp with excitement when it comes to performance, but it is very comfortable to use, with an excellent keyboard. Its funky bundled software also allows you to share media between the laptop and other devices, such as a PlayStation 3 or television Read more

Alienware M11x review

The 11.6-inch M11x is something we never thought we'd see: a gaming netbook. But don't let the 'n' word put you off, because, despite its compact size, the M11x can tear strips off larger machines when it comes to performance. Comfortable to use, portable and blisteringly quick, it's a stunning piece of kit Read more

Toshiba Satellite U500 review

The 13.3-inch Satellite U500 is thick and heavy, but it looks great, with an appealing brown finish. Its keyboard is very comfortable, its performance is decent, if not mind-blowing, and it's available with a touchscreen, if that's your bag. Just don't expect the best image quality in the world Read more

Asus UL50Vt review

The 15.6-inch UL50Vt is an excellent desktop-replacement laptop that you'd be proud to take to and from the office. It looks great for a machine of its size, it's comfortable to use, it offers excellent battery life, and it has switchable graphics cards that let you prioritise either battery life or performance Read more

MSI GT640 review

The 15.4-inch GT640's desktop wallpaper proclaims that it's the fastest quad-core laptop in the world. That's wishful thinking, but this machine is certainly capable of satisfying even the most demanding user. It's also cheaper than many of its rivals, so, if you can stomach its appearance, it's worth a look Read more

Toshiba Satellite T130 review

The configuration of the 13-inch T130 laptop that we review here, the T130-13M, isn't going to make your brain melt out of your nose with its performance, but it's got its charms nevertheless. It looks great, offers good battery life and perfectly combines portability, usability and comfort Read more

Samsung N150 review

One of the first netbooks to use the next-gen Atom N450 CPU, the 10-inch N150 offers fantastic battery life. Combined with its reflection-resistant matte screen, this makes it a good choice for road barbarians, even if it doesn't offer a massive performance improvement over preceding netbooks Read more

MSI CX600 review

The 16-inch CX600 offers superb value for money, with a nippy processor, a gaming-capable graphics card and plenty of memory. It's not particularly attractive and its lack of an HDMI output is a real shame, but, at this price, this machine is very difficult to ignore Read more

Toshiba Satellite P500 review

With its HD DVD format dead and buried, Toshiba has finally released a laptop with an optional Blu-ray drive. The huge, 18.4-inch screen doesn't have a 1080p resolution, but you can hook the Satellite P500 up to an external display via its HDMI port. This behemoth feels quick in everyday use and can handle most 3D games Read more
