Medion Erazer X6811 review
The 15.6-inch Medion Erazer X6811 may not look quite as smart as some of its rivals, but it packs a powerful punch for a gaming machine that limbos in under the £1000 mark. Read more

Sony Vaio VGN-TZ21WN review
The Vaio VGN-TZ21WN is a thin and lightweight, yet powerful laptop and is Sony's best ultraportable to date. It has an integrated 3G HSDPA adaptor, Wi-Fi, incredibly long battery life, the keyboard is very easy to type on and a DVD writer is squeezed in as well Read more

HP Pavilion HDX9000 review
If you're going to nickname your product 'Dragon', you better back it up with both sleek styling and performance. With its design and multimedia capabilities, HP's Pavilion HDX9000 burns the competition and earns its alias. It is by far the hottest 20-inch desktop replacement we've seen Read more

rockdirect Xtreme CTX T7400 review
The rockdirect Xtreme CTX T7400 is among the first laptops available in the UK to use an Intel next-generation Core 2 Duo processor. Intel says the Core 2 Duo is up to 20 per cent faster than its predecessor and this PC's intimidating performance confirmed that. Shame about the chassis, though 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
