Alienware Area 51m 7700 review

There's something kooky about Alienware. It's the kid at school who threw balled-up paper around during maths lessons, but then quietly snuck off to read up on relativity at lunch time. The Alienware brand says 'late-90s raver', but the Alienware components and price tag say 'I'm deadly serious about my PC' Read more

rockdirect Xtreme Ti review

While some may be put off by the Xtreme Ti's overwhelming weight and extortionate price, bulky laptops like this are the only option if you need cutting-edge gaming performance in a luggable device. The design isn't as extreme as the Alienware's Area 51m, but that might be an advantage if you want it for tasks other than eye-bleedingly fast gaming Read more

Toshiba Portege S100 review

The S100 might not get design geeks salivating, but its unobtrusiveness is part of its solidity. Gimmick-free, it's a classic thin-and-light laptop that gets the essentials absolutely spot on Read more

Asus W3 review

The Asus W3 sits comfortably between being a home-office laptop and a low-end gaming machine. It'll fly through spreadsheets and simpler games, but Half-Life 2's complex graphics will make it puff Read more

Samsung X50 review

Spreadsheet junkies will appreciate the X50's 15-inch screen, which is heavily anti-glared, making it ideal for work in a brightly lit office. It's easy to hook it up to projectors and televisions, but the lack of DVI make this an implausible machine for graphics professionals Read more

rockdirect Hardbook review

While most of us are unlikely to run into urban combat situations, there is always the risk of dropping your laptop or spilling a cappuccino into it. rockdirect's Hardbook has a specially ruggedised case for those who need to compute in hazardous conditions -- or are just extremely clumsy 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

Asus W5000 review

Style-conscious bohemians who want to steer away from the bland offerings of most laptop manufacturers will find the Asus W5000 appeals to their all-white tastes. It offers reasonable -- if unspectacular -- performance and battery life, and a cool little Webcam that pivots above the screen Read more

Toshiba Qosmio G20 review

Although the G20's size and weight makes it impractical as a truly portable laptop, this wasn't what overwhelmingly disappointed us. Instead, it's the G20's glary screen that breaks the deal here. It's a huge distraction on an otherwise very capable PVR Read more
