Acer Travelmate 8204WLMi review

We're not joking. Acer has sped this Core Duo laptop to market, and it's the real thing: portable, with excellent battery life and it's blisteringly quick. It may not be the epitome of style, and dedicated gaming laptops may have better graphics cards, but for under £2,000, this is a fantastic bargain Read more

Alienware M11x review

The 11.6-inch M11x is something we never thought we'd see: a gaming netbook. But don't let the 'n' word put you off, because, despite its compact size, the M11x can tear strips off larger machines when it comes to performance. Comfortable to use, portable and blisteringly quick, it's a stunning piece of kit Read more

Asus W3J review

The W3J is Asus' attempt to create a fast, capable laptop with a small chassis and low weight. It might not look it on the surface, but it packs enough grunt to rival, and indeed outperform, larger, more expensive laptops Read more

Asus V1J review

Asus' V1J laptop is a solid all-rounder. Some may struggle with the unconventional keys but designers will welcome the image integrity offered by the non-glossy screen. An integrated fingerprint reader offers security for those working with sensitive data Read more

Asus UL50Vt review

The 15.6-inch UL50Vt is an excellent desktop-replacement laptop that you'd be proud to take to and from the office. It looks great for a machine of its size, it's comfortable to use, it offers excellent battery life, and it has switchable graphics cards that let you prioritise either battery life or performance Read more

Lenovo ThinkPad T61p review

This business-oriented laptop is built like a tank, using some pretty potent components so it's no surprise it boasts impressive performance. Not only that, it's also the first machine to come with an ultra-wideband chip Read more

Toshiba Satellite A500 review

The 16-inch Satellite A500 caters well to those who have a limited budget but still want a machine that will let them watch movies, listen to music and play the odd game. Its screen could do with a higher resolution, but it feels bomb-proof, it's pretty speedy and it looks fairly attractive Read more

MSI Turbobook GX600 review

Turbo buttons? They're old school, right? Not so, as the MSI Turbobook GX600 proves. This desktop replacement brings overclocking back into the mainstream with its red-hot turbo action, vastly improving the laptop's core performance. Are you ready to push the button? Read more

Apple MacBook (2.0GHz) review

The MacBook is Apple's first 13-inch laptop and occupies the sweet spot between ultra-portable 12-inch models and desktop replacement 14-inch models. The traditional white model is also now joined by a more exclusive black offering, which has 20GB of extra hard drive space and a higher price tag Read more
