Sony Vaio TZ series (VGN-TZ11XN) review

The utterly gorgeous TZ is small, sleek and sophisticated -- the Kylie Minogue of laptops. It's also Sony's first laptop to feature an ultra-low voltage Core 2 Duo processor, so it promises great performance and prodigious battery life Read more

Alienware M17 review

With the 17-inch M17 gaming laptop, Alienware has created a gigantic, polygon-munching monster. Offering some of the best performance we've ever seen, it's insanely fast, has a multitude of high-end customisation options and is attractive to boot. Few rivals can really match it 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 G73Jh review

During testing of the 17.3-inch G73Jh gaming laptop, we had to change our underwear on several occasions, such is the excitement caused by its blistering performance. It's not just the fastest laptop we've seen so far though -- it's also a machine of understated beauty, and excellent value for money Read more

Asus G71V review

The Asus G71V is designed to be the ultimate desktop-replacement laptop. It uses the first quad-core processor designed for portable machines, has a whopping 1TB of disk space, a Blu-ray combo drive and a high-end graphics card. It's unnecessarily ugly, but brutally quick Read more

rockdirect Xtreme CTX T7400 review

The rockdirect Xtreme CTX T7400 is among the first laptops available in the UK to use an Intel next-generation Core 2 Duo processor. Intel says the Core 2 Duo is up to 20 per cent faster than its predecessor and this PC's intimidating performance confirmed that. Shame about the chassis, though Read more

HP Pavilion HDX9000 review

If you're going to nickname your product 'Dragon', you better back it up with both sleek styling and performance. With its design and multimedia capabilities, HP's Pavilion HDX9000 burns the competition and earns its alias. It is by far the hottest 20-inch desktop replacement we've seen Read more

Sony Vaio S5VP review

Featuring the Intel 915GM chipset and the latest iteration of Centrino, the S5VP is ideal for those who want a truly portable laptop that can still deliver strong performance. It's not perfect, though -- it runs hot, it's occasionally noisy and it's pricey Read more

MSI GT725 review

If you can overlook its hideous appearance, the 17-inch GT725 is a relatively affordable and extremely capable gaming laptop. With a good screen and Blu-ray drive, it's also a sound choice for people whose priority is media-playback capability. Overall, it's a great desktop replacement 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
