Toshiba Satellite Pro C660 review

While the 15.6-inch Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-17J is cheap, its limited range of ports, pedestrian performance and uninspiring build quality mean this laptop doesn't really offer good value for money. Read more

HP Envy x2 review

The HP Envy x2 is a sleek and stylish tablet-laptop hybrid, but it's let down by poor performance and a high price. Read more

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

Advent 6441 review

The 6441 is commendably cheap for a laptop with a Blu-ray drive and a 17-inch screen. But, with a poor-quality keyboard and trackpad, and a relatively slow processor and graphics, it's hard to avoid the feeling that Advent compromised on quality in pursuit of a low price tag Read more

Dell Inspiron 11z review

The mid-range Inspiron 11z ultra-portable laptop that we were given to review proved a capable machine. Its trackpad was poor, but its ultra-low-voltage processor delivered better performance than that of more expensive ULV laptops, and its 11.6-inch screen was great Read more

Toshiba Portege M780 review

The 12.1-inch Toshiba Portege M780 gives you the freedom of laptop or tablet operating modes, but it's too unattractive and bulky for our tastes Read more

HP Compaq Presario V4000 review

The Presario V4000 is a good-looking, solid, all-round notebook for a home user who needs good performance and a complete set of basic features and connections. It's battery life is relatively poor, though, and there are better value models out there Read more

Toshiba Portege M400 review

The follow-up to Toshiba's prior-generation Portege M200, the new Portege M400 is the first convertible tablet PC to offer Intel's Core Duo processor as an option. The system combines its new CPU with some nice convertible-tablet standards, such as a swiveling 12.1-inch display and a swappable optical drive Read more

Acer TravelMate 2355LCi review

Acer's new TravelMate is cheap as chips, but don't expect lengthy use when out of reach of a power socket. It packs enough punch to run office applications perfectly smoothly, though, and it has a large screen for a budget model Read more

Toshiba Qosmio G20 review

Although the G20's size and weight makes it impractical as a truly portable laptop, this wasn't what overwhelmingly disappointed us. Instead, it's the G20's glary screen that breaks the deal here. It's a huge distraction on an otherwise very capable PVR Read more
