Editors' choice Samsung Q35 review

Samsung Q35 review

The Q35 is better than most of its current ultra-portable laptop rivals in almost every respect -- it's not only nice to look at, but its use of modern components, ease of use and remarkable battery life make it a near-perfect proposition. Don't expect it to play 3D games, of course, but for everyday applications it's a cracker 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

Asus M70 review

If you're an avid film buff or a file hoarder with a yearning for a semi-portable venue for your media, you could do much worse than check out the Asus M70. This hefty desktop replacement might not fit in your manbag, but it boasts a stunning 1 terabyte of storage and 4GB of RAM Read more

MacBook Pro (aluminium 2008 edition) review

The MacBook Pro -- for so long the final word in high-end multimedia laptops -- is back. It now sports a new aluminium chassis and twin graphics cards, and promises significantly better performance than its predecessors. While we certainly like its looks, the new Pro is pricey and we had a few complaints about features 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

Toshiba Qosmio X500 (X500-128) review

The 18.4-inch Qosmio X500-128 is as fast as it is big -- and it's pretty flippin' big. Its outpaced by the very fastest gaming rigs, but not by much, so, if you're looking for laptop with an enormous screen and high-speed graphics, you should think seriously about adding it to your shopping list Read more

Apple MacBook (aluminium 2008 edition) review

There's a new breed of MacBook in town, and it's more attractive, more powerful and more expensive than ever before. The new design has much in common with the aluminium-swathed MacBook Pro, but sports a smaller 13.3-inch screen and less graphical power Read more

Asus V1J review

Asus' V1J laptop is a solid all-rounder. Some may struggle with the unconventional keys but designers will welcome the image integrity offered by the non-glossy screen. An integrated fingerprint reader offers security for those working with sensitive data Read more
