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

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

Asus Lamborghini VX2 review

The Asus Lamborghini VX2 is lovingly styled on its namesake, even down to the "vroom vroom" noise it makes on startup, but this isn't at the expense substance -- there's plenty of grunt in the engine, too 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

MacBook Pro (aluminium 2008 edition) review

The MacBook Pro -- for so long the final word in high-end multimedia laptops -- is back. It now sports a new aluminium chassis and twin graphics cards, and promises significantly better performance than its predecessors. While we certainly like its looks, the new Pro is pricey and we had a few complaints about features 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

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

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
