Samsung Q430 review

The worst we can say about the 14-inch Samsung Q430 laptop is that some of its features are merely standard, rather than really impressive. But, overall, this is a light, powerful, stylish and affordable laptop that's a pleasure to use. Read more

Toshiba Tecra R840 review

The 14-inch Toshiba Tecra R840-11E is a good option if you need a laptop for work purposes. It has a great keyboard, plenty of grunt, and it's small and light enough to comfortably carry around. Read more

Asus U46SV review

The Asus U46SV may be at the heavier end of 'portable', but it's slim enough to slide into a bag and has the power to tackle all your office work and even a spot of gaming. Read more

HP Pavilion dm4-1050ea review

The Pavilion dm4-1050ea's all-metal chassis makes it feel like a high-class piece of kit, as does its high-resolution, 14-inch screen. Its lack of a dedicated graphics card means you won't be playing the latest games on this machine, but it offers decent performance in other areas 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

Lenovo IdeaPad U450p review

The Lenovo IdeaPad U450p valiantly tries to straddle the gap between an ultra-portable and a desktop-replacement laptop, but, ultimately, it comes up short. Read more
