Samsung Q430 review

The worst we can say about the 14-inch Samsung Q430 laptop is that some of its features are merely standard, rather than really impressive. But, overall, this is a light, powerful, stylish and affordable laptop that's a pleasure to use. Read more

Samsung Q330 (Core i3-370M) review

The latest Samsung Q330 has a slightly more powerful processor and a tweaked design. Overall, this 13.3-inch laptop is still great, but rival machines offer better graphics performance. 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

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 review

The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 thin-and-light laptop is the sleekest ThinkPad yet. It incorporates the best of the latest featherweight laptops -- a solid-state hard drive, lots of ports and a thin skin -- and adds its own features, from WWAN to a built-in DVD burner Read more

Toshiba Tecra R850-10R review

The pricey Toshiba R850 offers fast performance and is comfy to use, but its integrated mobile broadband really makes it a compelling option for those after a laptop to use on the go. Read more

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz) review

Apple's 13.3-inch MacBooks with Core 2 Duo, available in the standard Apple colours of black and white, are nearly as powerful as their 15- and 17-inch Pro cousins, and they include a lot of the same features -- they're a no-brainer for anyone who wants to step up to an Apple laptop or upgrade their older MacBook Read more

Toshiba Tecra R840 review

The 14-inch Toshiba Tecra R840-11E is a good option if you need a laptop for work purposes. It has a great keyboard, plenty of grunt, and it's small and light enough to comfortably carry around. Read more

MSI X600 review

If you like ostentatious laptops, the 15.6-inch X600 probably isn't for you. This thin-and-light laptop is about as conspicuous as a stealth bomber, but it's a gorgeous specimen nonetheless, and its ultra-low-voltage CPU delivers surprisingly good performance Read more

Asus UL50Vt review

The 15.6-inch UL50Vt is an excellent desktop-replacement laptop that you'd be proud to take to and from the office. It looks great for a machine of its size, it's comfortable to use, it offers excellent battery life, and it has switchable graphics cards that let you prioritise either battery life or performance Read more

Asus Lamborghini VX1 review

With canary-yellow styling -- and a price tag -- that will upset the faint of heart, the VX1 wears its Italian supercar badge with pride, and packs specs to match. It's not the most insanely well-equipped laptop we've seen, but its 2GHz Intel T2500 CPU and 2GB RAM give it a very potent foundation Read more
