HP Compaq tc4400 tablet review
HP's Compaq tc4400 tablet is an updated version of the tc4200 and benefits from a brand-new Core 2 Duo processor, an updated chipset, room for more RAM and a larger hard drive capacity. It offers decent performance and battery life, and it's 'Vista-capable', meaning it can handle the new operating system Read more

HP Envy 14-1195ea Beats Edition review
If you're after a stylish desktop-replacement machine, this is a cool twist on the Envy line of laptops. The trackpad is quite annoying though, and there's no Blu-ray player on board, so think carefully before throwing down your notes. Read more

Sony Vaio NR series (VGN-NR11Z/S) review
You get more for your money with the Sony Vaio NR series. The specs on this laptop are similar to models costing twice as much. Plus, with a 15.4-inch screen, you and a mate wouldn't be squished while watching a film. If you're after a bargain laptop from a respected manufacturer, look no further Read more

Fujitsu LifeBook T900 review
The 13.3-inch Fujitsu LifeBook T900 has an excellent touchscreen and is a fast performer, but its poor battery life and chunky design let it down. Read more

Apple iBook G4 (14-inch) review
Much faster than its predecessor, this iBook has plenty of features, a stylish design and a low price (for Apple). But the much faster iBooks with Intel Core Duo processors should be along shortly, so we'd advise you wait Read more

HP Pavilion TX1020ea review
HP is trying something new -- on one hand the TX1020ea is a business-like touchscreen Tablet PC, and on the other it's a home-oriented Media Center laptop. It might not be the most powerful PC we've ever seen, but its low price tag makes it worth a look Read more

Lenovo B550 review
The 15.6-inch Lenovo B550 laptop has an attractively low price, but its specification is basic and its design uninspiring. Read more

MSI X340 review
If you think the MacBook Air is too expensive and netbooks are too small, the 13-inch, super-light, super-thin X340 will be worth investigating. The keyboard and battery life aren't overly impressive, but it’s got good connectivity and its looks will certainly get you drooling Read more

HP Pavilion TX1260ea review
The major difference between the HP Pavilion TX1260ea and its older brother, the TX1020ea, is simply power. The TX1260ea has beefed up its CPU and has added more memory, but don't worry -- it's still the glossy, rotating tablet laptop you know and love. Take a turn for the better Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (1.83GHz) review
Apple's first new laptop since the company switched to Intel processors, the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro ushers in a new era of Apple computing. While this gives Apple the potential to match the performance of Windows-based machines, the first MacBook Pro shows signs of the growing pains Apple faces in switching to the new platform Read more
