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

Samsung Q530 review

The Samsung Q530 is a great-looking laptop that offers powerful performance. We wish its screen had a sharper resolution, though. Read more

Acer Aspire 5745PG review

The Acer Aspire 5745PG impresses with its slick design, useful touchscreen and good all-round performance. It's one of the better 15.6-inch laptops you can buy right now. Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.4GHz) review

The Apple MacBook Pro has been refreshed and reenergised. While the looks are essentially the same as last year's model, you'll find faster processors and a new chipset, plus more memory and a larger hard drive. With more muscle under the hood, this Pro can certainly put on a show Read more

HP EliteBook 8730w review

A gorgeous 17-inch DreamColour display is the standout feature of the workstation-class EliteBook 8730w, but it's not the only aspect of this laptop that helps justify the premium price tag. The 8730w also boasts superb performance, excellent build quality and a good keyboard 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 F3Ke review

The Asus F3Ke is a brute of a laptop, making it a great all-round desktop replacement. It's got a comfortable keyboard and the 15.4-inch screen is of superb quality. Besides the strong performance, which handles games at a modest pace, this laptop is exceptional value for money Read more

Asus X53SR review

The Asus X53SR is a workhorse of a desktop replacement. It may be a low-cost laptop, but it's certainly not underpowered. In performance, it beats some machines costing twice as much and you'll even find it can turn its hand to gaming. For both work and entertainment purposes, it's spot on Read more

Alienware M15x review

Capable of being configured to your heart's delight, the 15.6-inch M15x gaming laptop can quickly become very pricey, and it's not particularly portable either, but there's no denying that it's a powerful performer. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better-built or faster 15-inch laptop Read more
