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

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.

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
