Alienware M11x review
The 11.6-inch M11x is something we never thought we'd see: a gaming netbook. But don't let the 'n' word put you off, because, despite its compact size, the M11x can tear strips off larger machines when it comes to performance. Comfortable to use, portable and blisteringly quick, it's a stunning piece of kit Read more

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

Acer Travelmate 8204WLMi review
We're not joking. Acer has sped this Core Duo laptop to market, and it's the real thing: portable, with excellent battery life and it's blisteringly quick. It may not be the epitome of style, and dedicated gaming laptops may have better graphics cards, but for under £2,000, this is a fantastic bargain Read more

HP HDX X16 review
It's pricey but the 16-inch HDX X16 is a fantastic entertainment laptop, offering great performance and impressive audio capability. High-definition movies via the Blu-ray drive also look great on the 'Full HD', 1,920x1,080-pixel display. We've got to say, though, that the paint job is awful Read more

HP 530 review
At a bargain price, you get more than you're paying for with the HP 530. The budget machine performs well and looks twice as expensive than it actually is. Added to this, it has a 15.4-inch widescreen display and built-in Wi-Fi and is perfect for anyone with more modest computing aspirations Read more

Toshiba Satellite Pro U300-10U review
The Toshiba Satellite Pro U300-10U is the perfect laptop for the frequent traveller, but has a slightly larger screen and more beefed up specs than you'd find on most ultraportables. It also looks good, with a metallic-looking grey lid and smooth curves, and has plenty of storage space Read more
