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 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

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

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

Sony Vaio VGN-TZ21WN review

The Vaio VGN-TZ21WN is a thin and lightweight, yet powerful laptop and is Sony's best ultraportable to date. It has an integrated 3G HSDPA adaptor, Wi-Fi, incredibly long battery life, the keyboard is very easy to type on and a DVD writer is squeezed in as well 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

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

Dell XPS M2010 review

When Dell unveiled the XPS M2010 laptop concept at CES 2006, few expected it to reach the retail market -- the 20-inch laptop was far more audacious than anything we'd seen previously. But with a fast Intel Centrino Duo T2600 processor running at 2.16GHz and strong graphics capabilities, this baby certainly doesn't disappoint Read more
