Sony Vaio VGN-AR11S review

Sony's Vaio VGN-AR11S is the first laptop to use an integrated Blu-ray drive. It's also the first laptop we've seen that uses a 1080i-capable display with HDCP decoding capability, giving it full high-definition readiness. It uses a fast processor and features a pair of 100GB hard drives, making it a good all-rounder Read more

Alienware M17x (Core i7) review

Alienware has updated its high-end, 17-inch M17x gaming laptop with some new components, and the result is an incredibly powerful machine. Using it feels like getting punched in the face by God -- in a good way. It's expensive, though, and it's about as portable as a bath full of cement Read more

Asus W90 review

Asus might not be the first name you think of when it comes to gaming laptops, but it has just sent us the fastest portable 3D graphics-pusher we've ever seen. With 6GB of RAM, a Blu-ray drive and a huge 18.4-inch screen, it’s an astonishing performer 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 S6F review

It's got a beautiful 11-inch screen, Intel Core Duo processor and -- best of all -- leather panelling for the lid and wrist-rests. The S6F is undoubtedly the most stylish ultraportable laptop we've seen, and thanks to its performance, it's one of the best all-round, too. We just can't wait for the pink version... Read more

Dell XPS M1730 review

Meet 'The Beast' -- Dell's XPS M1730. It's the first laptop ever to use a dedicated Ageia PhysX processing unit alongside two separate high-end graphics cards, making for one incredible gaming experience. Graphics is what this laptop is all about, and it can certainly throw its weight around Read more
