Samsung Series 5 Chromebook review

The Samsung Series 5 Chromebook is a well-built, adequately powered laptop that's small enough to carry anywhere. Its browser-based Chrome OS and total dependence on a Web connection definitely won't appeal to everyone, though. Read more

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

Apple iBook G4 (12-inch) preview hands-on

Apple has delivered a small but important update to its iBook line of budget notebooks, doubling the amount of standard RAM to 512MB and offering slightly faster processors, making them an even more attractive alternative to Apple's higher-end and considerably more expensive PowerBook line Read more

Asus W5000 review

Style-conscious bohemians who want to steer away from the bland offerings of most laptop manufacturers will find the Asus W5000 appeals to their all-white tastes. It offers reasonable -- if unspectacular -- performance and battery life, and a cool little Webcam that pivots above the screen 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

Samsung SF310 review

The 13.3-inch Samsung SF310 has a unique design and offers decent performance, but we don't think it does quite enough to justify its relatively high asking price. 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

Samsung NC20 review

Unlike the majority of its Intel Atom-based rivals, the 12.1-inch NC20 netbook is based on a Via Nano CPU and offers significantly better performance as a result. It also has excellent battery life, although its high-resolution screen is too reflective for our liking. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic netbook Read more
