MSI GT725 review

If you can overlook its hideous appearance, the 17-inch GT725 is a relatively affordable and extremely capable gaming laptop. With a good screen and Blu-ray drive, it's also a sound choice for people whose priority is media-playback capability. Overall, it's a great desktop replacement Read more

MSI GX723 review

The GX723 desktop-replacement laptop won't thrill your socks off, but it's a solid all-rounder nevertheless. Packing loads of connections, a gaming-capable GPU, and an instant overclocking feature that boosts the laptop's speed by a significant amount, it's worth considering Read more

Advent Altro review

The 13.3-inch Altro is an unashamed attempt to emulate the MacBook Air. Considering it's almost half the price, it doesn't do too bad a job. Offering 3GB of RAM, strong wireless capabilities and a good keyboard, it's worth a look for those after a relatively cheap thin-and-light laptop Read more

HP Pavilion tx2050ea review

The Pavilion tx2050ea's swivelling touchscreen display means it can be used in tablet mode, making it a useful companion in cramped conditions. The screen's too reflective for our tastes and overall performance could be better, but the tx2050ea is still good value for money and you have to admire its flexibility 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

Dell Vostro 1400 preview hands-on

Let's not put too fine a point on it: the Dell Vostro 1400 thin-and-light laptop is fantastic value for money. There aren't many laptops as cheap or as configurable as the Vostro series. This model is perfect for light users and you can always upgrade it with faster components Read more

HP Pavilion TX1260ea review

The major difference between the HP Pavilion TX1260ea and its older brother, the TX1020ea, is simply power. The TX1260ea has beefed up its CPU and has added more memory, but don't worry -- it's still the glossy, rotating tablet laptop you know and love. Take a turn for the better Read more
