Sony Vaio Y series (VPCY21S1E) review

Its performance may not be top-notch, but the 13.3-inch Sony Vaio VPCY21S1E is still a hugely likeable machine thanks to its impressive battery life, slick design and great keyboard and screen. Read more

The 13.3-inch Samsung Q330 backs up its stunning performance with looks to match. As a result, we think it's a great option if you're looking for a laptop to use on the move. Read more

Toshiba Satellite Pro U300-10U review

The Toshiba Satellite Pro U300-10U is the perfect laptop for the frequent traveller, but has a slightly larger screen and more beefed up specs than you'd find on most ultraportables. It also looks good, with a metallic-looking grey lid and smooth curves, and has plenty of storage space Read more

HP Pavilion dm3-1020ea review

The 13.3-inch Pavilion dm3-1020ea is an affordable ultra-portable laptop that marries a super-slick design with impressively speedy performance and long battery life. The touchpad could be better and the reflective screen could prove annoying, but this laptop is still easy to recommend Read more

Dell Latitude 13 review

Our configuration of the Dell Latitude 13 impressed with its slim dimensions and good battery life, but its performance was compromised by its sluggish processor and stingy 1GB of RAM. Read more

Samsung X420 review

An ultraportable laptop that boasts impressive battery life, a 14-inch screen and a delightfully lightweight frame, the Samsung X420 has much to recommend it. But with high-end netbooks proving more and more compelling, does it do enough to justify its price? Read more

Sony Vaio Y series (VPCY11M1E/S) review

The slender, 13.3-inch Vaio VPCY11M1E/S won't make you yelp with excitement when it comes to performance, but it is very comfortable to use, with an excellent keyboard. Its funky bundled software also allows you to share media between the laptop and other devices, such as a PlayStation 3 or television Read more

ViewSonic ViewBook Pro review

The 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro borrows heavily from Apple's MacBook Pro in terms of design, but it costs significantly less. As long as you don't push it too hard, it'll make a decent travel companion. It also packs some useful extras, such as a fingerprint reader that lets you log into your favourite Web sites without a password Read more
