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

Sony Vaio CW series (VPCCW1S1E) review

The 14-inch Vaio VPCCW1S1E is an excellent entertainment laptop. It looks stylish, its screen handles movies well, and, as usual with Sony machines, its keyboard is very good. It's no slouch in the performance stakes either, offering enough power to satisfy all but the most demanding gamer Read more

Dell Inspiron 15 review

The 15.6-inch Inspiron 15 is a highly customisable laptop, but you'll get a solid chassis and good keyboard no matter which configuration you opt for. Adding on the extras will make the cost rise quickly, but it's possible to build a capable machine for an affordable price Read more

Sony Vaio VGN-N38Z/W review

Sony has released the solid and decently priced Vaio VGN-N38Z/W. With long battery life and good performance, its colours are fantastic. The model sits in middle ground between a portable and desktop replacement, while some of the design aspects resemble those found on Apple's MacBook range Read more

Packard Bell EasyNote MB review

Packard Bell isn't the first brand that springs to mind when we think of gorgeous laptops. But the company aims to change perceptions with its latest range, which includes the stylish EasyNote MB desktop-replacement. With a fairly powerful spec, it's very good value for money Read more

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 3540 review

The Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 3540 is a very stylish Centrino 2 desktop replacement laptop with excellent wireless connectivity, an optional Blu-ray drive and a glossy 15.4-inch display. For a well-specced multimedia laptop, it's a good buy for under £700 Read more
