Apple MacBook (white 2009 edition) review

The last MacBook left in Apple's lineup has had a worthwhile update. It offers specs and performance on a par with the higher-end MacBook Pros but for significantly less money. It's a sturdy machine and the keyboard is excellent, but the white plastic design is starting to look dated Read more

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz) review

Apple's 13.3-inch MacBooks with Core 2 Duo, available in the standard Apple colours of black and white, are nearly as powerful as their 15- and 17-inch Pro cousins, and they include a lot of the same features -- they're a no-brainer for anyone who wants to step up to an Apple laptop or upgrade their older MacBook Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, summer 2009) review

Apple has promoted its basic 13-inch, aluminium unibody MacBook to the Pro series, adding more features while reducing the price of the base configuration. The end result is one of the most universally useful laptops available, although there's still some features we'd like to see included Read more

Apple MacBook (aluminium 2008 edition) review

There's a new breed of MacBook in town, and it's more attractive, more powerful and more expensive than ever before. The new design has much in common with the aluminium-swathed MacBook Pro, but sports a smaller 13.3-inch screen and less graphical power Read more

Samsung Q530 review

The Samsung Q530 is a great-looking laptop that offers powerful performance. We wish its screen had a sharper resolution, though. Read more

Apple MacBook (multi-touch white 2009) review

Apple has given its plastic entry-level MacBook laptop a small spec bump and a 'unibody' makeover, making it lighter and sturdier than before. The battery isn't user-replaceable now, but will last longer, while the trackpad has been upgraded to the same glass multi-touch design as the MacBook Pros' Read more

Apple MacBook (white, 2.16GHz) review

The MacBook has been given a refresh and it's now cheaper and faster than ever. There's a quicker 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 1GB of RAM and a bigger hard drive to look forward to, all inside the same gorgeous chassis Read more

Asus UX50V review

The thin and light, 15.6-inch UX50V is an absolutely gorgeous-looking machine, with a stunning screen and excellent keyboard. Your mind won't be blown by this laptop's processing power, but its battery life is impressive and it will definitely inspire jealousy among your friends Read more

Dell XPS M1210 review

Although the M1210 is heavier than most 12.1-inch screen ultra-portable laptops, it packs plenty of features into its 2kg mass, including an integrated webcam, media controls and an impressive number of ports. The M1210 will appeal to everyday users who want a relatively light and compact Media Center computer Read more
