Acer Aspire 5551 review
The 15.6-inch Aspire 5551 isn't the most portable laptop in the world, since it's a fairly chunky beast and its battery life isn't great. But our configuration made up for that by offering speedy performance, courtesy of its triple-core AMD processor, at a reasonable price Read more

HP Pavilion dv7-4050ea review
The 17.3-inch HP Pavilion dv7-4050ea laptop offers a swell design and decent performance. It's a shame about its terrible battery life, but, all things considered, this is a decent machine. Read more

HP Pavilion dm3-1105ea review
The HP Pavilion dm3-1105ea looks very much like the robot machines we always dreamed of reviewing when we were knee-high to an editor. Chrome accents, glowing blue and white LEDs and a board of flat, isolated keys make this thin and light, 13.3-inch laptop desirably futuristic. We test its Jetsons credentials Read more

HP Envy 17-1195ea review
The latest HP Envy 17, the 17-1195ea, adds some cool new features, including 3D support. This 17.3-inch laptop is a top performer and looks great, but there's no denying that it's eye-wateringly expensive. Read more

HP Pavilion dm4-1050ea review
The Pavilion dm4-1050ea's all-metal chassis makes it feel like a high-class piece of kit, as does its high-resolution, 14-inch screen. Its lack of a dedicated graphics card means you won't be playing the latest games on this machine, but it offers decent performance in other areas Read more

Dell Inspiron 15R review
The Dell Inspiron 15R's battery life isn't great, and its design is unlikely to set your heart aflame. But we were really impressed by the performance of this 15.6-inch laptop, given its price. Read more

Samsung P580 review
We weren't expecting much from the Samsung P580, but this is a highly usable laptop that offers surprising punch when it comes to performance. The anti-glare screen won't please everybody, however. Read more

Dell Vostro V130 review
The 13.3-inch Dell Vostro V130 is a decent business laptop that offers a pleasant design, good build quality and workmanlike performance. Its average battery life is disappointing, though. Read more

Acer Aspire TimelineX 5820T review
Acer is looking to shake up the status quo with its latest additions to the Timeline range, and the 5820T is a perfect example. It shares many of the qualities of both a thin-and-light laptop and a high-performance desktop-replacement machine, with a slim chassis, good battery life and switchable graphics Read more

Samsung X420 review
An ultraportable laptop that boasts impressive battery life, a 14-inch screen and a delightfully lightweight frame, the Samsung X420 has much to recommend it. But with high-end netbooks proving more and more compelling, does it do enough to justify its price? Read more
