Sony Vaio VGN-AR11S review
Sony's Vaio VGN-AR11S is the first laptop to use an integrated Blu-ray drive. It's also the first laptop we've seen that uses a 1080i-capable display with HDCP decoding capability, giving it full high-definition readiness. It uses a fast processor and features a pair of 100GB hard drives, making it a good all-rounder Read more

Dell XPS M2010 review
When Dell unveiled the XPS M2010 laptop concept at CES 2006, few expected it to reach the retail market -- the 20-inch laptop was far more audacious than anything we'd seen previously. But with a fast Intel Centrino Duo T2600 processor running at 2.16GHz and strong graphics capabilities, this baby certainly doesn't disappoint 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

Asus Lamborghini VX2 review
The Asus Lamborghini VX2 is lovingly styled on its namesake, even down to the "vroom vroom" noise it makes on startup, but this isn't at the expense substance -- there's plenty of grunt in the engine, too 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
