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

Apple MacBook Air 11-inch 2010 review

The 11-inch Apple MacBook Air is remarkably thin and really enjoyable to use. But its paltry port selection and lack of real grunt mean it won't appeal to everyone. Read more

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch, 2010 review

The 13-inch Apple MacBook Air is expensive and in many ways restrictive, but a stunning design, great battery life and brilliant ease of use mean this laptop is more than style over substance. Read more

HP Pavilion dm3-1105ea review

The HP Pavilion dm3-1105ea looks very much like the robot machines we always dreamed of reviewing when we were knee-high to an editor. Chrome accents, glowing blue and white LEDs and a board of flat, isolated keys make this thin and light, 13.3-inch laptop desirably futuristic. We test its Jetsons credentials Read more

Samsung P580 review

We weren't expecting much from the Samsung P580, but this is a highly usable laptop that offers surprising punch when it comes to performance. The anti-glare screen won't please everybody, however. Read more

Acer Aspire TimelineX 5820T review

Acer is looking to shake up the status quo with its latest additions to the Timeline range, and the 5820T is a perfect example. It shares many of the qualities of both a thin-and-light laptop and a high-performance desktop-replacement machine, with a slim chassis, good battery life and switchable graphics Read more

Samsung X420 review

An ultraportable laptop that boasts impressive battery life, a 14-inch screen and a delightfully lightweight frame, the Samsung X420 has much to recommend it. But with high-end netbooks proving more and more compelling, does it do enough to justify its price? Read more

Toshiba Portege R700 review

The Toshiba Portege R700 is an impressively portable laptop, both in terms of size and weight. But we've seen cheaper machines that offer better displays and performance than our R700-160 configuration. Read more
