Asus A7J review
Multimedia enthusiasts will love the A7J's Media Center operating system, with its incorporated Freeview tuner, as well as its solid performance, and its gaming abilities should appeal to FPS fans. While it excels in most areas, potential buyers should beware of models with the paltry 60GB hard drive we saw Read more

Toshiba Satellite P200-17C review
The Toshiba Satellite P200-17C is the perfect laptop if you're looking for some gaming fun. Its 2D and 3D performance is impressive, while six USB ports are scattered around the machine. The speakers are excellent and there's room for a numeric keypad to accompany the Qwerty keyboard Read more

Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 review
The Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 is a semi-ruggedised desktop replacement for use in the field. Its keyboard is splash resistant and it has a solid outer shell with a built-in carrying handle. Plus, the laptop should survive a 76cm drop, if you happen to knock it off your desk Read more

Toshiba Satellite P770 review
Our configuration of the 17.3-inch Toshiba Satellite P770, the P770-109, is about as attractive as a bag of coal, but it offers decent all-round performance, and can handle a spot of gaming too. Read more

The Sony Vaio EA3S1E is a great looking laptop that's comfortable to use and has a speedy processor. It's only let down by its weak battery life and sub-par gaming performance. Read more

Dell Inspiron 15R review
The Dell Inspiron 15R's battery life isn't great, and its design is unlikely to set your heart aflame. But we were really impressed by the performance of this 15.6-inch laptop, given its price. Read more

Samsung R60 review
The Samsung R60 is an excellent all-round desktop replacement and at under £500, it's a bargain. It looks great, with sleek, curvy piano-black casing. The touchpad includes a scroll area, making it easy to navigate long documents and Web pages Read more

Samsung P530 review
The 15.6-inch Samsung P530 is an affordable business laptop with a fair amount of grunt. It has a great keyboard and screen, but it's let down a little by its relatively poor battery life. Read more

Dell Studio 17 (Windows 7, touchscreen) review
There's plenty to like about the 17.3-inch, touchscreen Dell Studio 17. It's a speedy performer, its audio performance is great, and its multi-touch functionality is implemented well. It's expensive for a machine in Dell's mid-range series, but it's a competent replacement for a desktop PC Read more
