Toshiba Satellite L350 review
The 17-inch laptops in Toshiba's Satellite L350 series are a decent choice if you lack the space for a desktop PC. They're not particularly attractive or suited to gaming, but, considering their price, they make precious few compromises when it comes to usability Read more

Acer Aspire 6530 review
The configuration of the 16-inch Acer Aspire 6530 desktop-replacement laptop that we tested, the 6530-623G25Mn, is a stylish beast. While its AMD processor can't quite match Intel's offerings, it's a good all-rounder nevertheless, and it comes at a reasonable price too Read more

Dell XPS 15 review
As long as you don't go crazy with the customisation options, the Dell XPS 15 will prove a relatively affordable and powerful laptop with a great display. But it's big, bulky and has a few design quirks that keep it from being great. 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

Samsung X420 review
An ultraportable laptop that boasts impressive battery life, a 14-inch screen and a delightfully lightweight frame, the Samsung X420 has much to recommend it. But with high-end netbooks proving more and more compelling, does it do enough to justify its price? Read more

Sony Vaio VGN-N38Z/W review
Sony has released the solid and decently priced Vaio VGN-N38Z/W. With long battery life and good performance, its colours are fantastic. The model sits in middle ground between a portable and desktop replacement, while some of the design aspects resemble those found on Apple's MacBook range Read more

Toshiba Tecra A11 review
The Toshiba Tecra A11 is a decent business laptop, but it lacks the features and design flair to make it really stand out in a crowded market. Read more

Toshiba Qosmio G10-100 review
Back in the '80s we were dragging around laptops the size of desktops, so the Qosmio is something of a retro trip. However it's easy to understand why the Qosmio is so heavy: Toshiba has crowbarred a personal video recorder (PVR), DVD player, TV tuner and virtual surround sound system into a laptop case Read more

HP TouchSmart tx2-1020ea review
Making full use of Vista's tablet PC features, the 12.1-inch TouchSmart tx2-1020ea offers decent performance and a good feature set in an attractive and robust package. It's on the heavy side and its multitouch capability may not be all you'd expect at this price, though Read more

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 review
Dell pushes the netbook envelope to the limit with the Mini 12, a 12-inch ultraportable laptop that uses low-power components and open-source software to reduce costs. It's thin, light and simple, but it's underpowered and could do with a better battery Read more
