Toshiba Satellite L830-10X review

The Toshiba L830-10X offers a glossy white shell and a wide screen that's great for movies. It's sadly let down by poor performance. Read more

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

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

MSI X340 review

If you think the MacBook Air is too expensive and netbooks are too small, the 13-inch, super-light, super-thin X340 will be worth investigating. The keyboard and battery life aren't overly impressive, but it’s got good connectivity and its looks will certainly get you drooling 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

MSI X600 review

If you like ostentatious laptops, the 15.6-inch X600 probably isn't for you. This thin-and-light laptop is about as conspicuous as a stealth bomber, but it's a gorgeous specimen nonetheless, and its ultra-low-voltage CPU delivers surprisingly good performance Read more
