MSI GT640 review

The 15.4-inch GT640's desktop wallpaper proclaims that it's the fastest quad-core laptop in the world. That's wishful thinking, but this machine is certainly capable of satisfying even the most demanding user. It's also cheaper than many of its rivals, so, if you can stomach its appearance, it's worth a look Read more

Acer Aspire 5738 3D review

The 15.6-inch Aspire 5738 3D is the world's first laptop to sport a 3D screen. Under the right conditions and with suitable material, the 3D effect is impressive, gimmicky though it may be. And, even without this party trick, the 5738 3D is an impressive machine, thanks to its speedy CPU Read more

Alienware Area-51 m5700 review

Some aspects of its specification have been eclipsed by newer components, and it's enormously pricey in comparison to laptops from smaller vendors, but if you prefer big-name brands, this Alienware is a worthy contender. Read more

Asus G51J review

The 15.6-inch G51J is one of the first 3D laptops you can lay your hands on. You'll have to pay for the privilege, but its integrated Nvidia 3D Vision system makes for immersive gaming, and the laptop is a generally impressive performer. Just be prepared to look like a dork with the 3D glasses on Read more

Asus G50 review

The £1,000 Asus G50 gaming laptop -- the latest to sport Asus' Republic of Gaming logo -- is aimed at those who want to frag with impunity, safe in the knowledge that their gaming experience won't be interrupted by untimely slowdown. The G50's HDMI output and Blu-ray combo player make it a solid Media Center machine Read more

rockdirect Xtreme SL review

The rockdirect Xtreme SL is one of the first laptops to use two graphics cards. It sounds the death knell for the days when laptops were perceived as poor gaming devices, and is part of a new breed of laptop that uses a 19-inch screen. It might be rather dull to look at, but boy, can it shift polygons Read more

Asus G2P review

The ATI-based G2P is Asus' larger model in its gaming series, and it features both a hybrid TV tuner and a 17-inch 'ColorShine' display. It's well-designed and well-built with some useful features for gamers, including plenty of flashing lights and highlighted home keys, and the Core 2 Duo CPU ensures it can handle heavy tasks Read more

Asus G1 review

Laptop-loving gamers are often stuck with portable systems that are nearly as bulky as desktops, so Asus has created the industrial-flavoured G1 in an attempt to provide gaming power in a smaller package. The G1 has a 15-inch screen, a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and a GeForce Go 7700 graphics card Read more

Asus-Automobili Lamborghini VX7 review

The 15.6-inch Asus-Automobili Lamborghini VX7 laptop certainly looks as mad as the cars it imitates, but it's let down by poor construction and software issues. Similarly powerful machines can be found for less dosh. Read more

Alienware M14x hands-on

The 14-inch Alienware M14x laptop will devour your games and then demand seconds. Our pre-production sample's appearance failed to match its inner beauty, though, due to a dim display and less-than-perfect keyboard. Read more
