Dell XPS M1730 review
Meet 'The Beast' -- Dell's XPS M1730. It's the first laptop ever to use a dedicated Ageia PhysX processing unit alongside two separate high-end graphics cards, making for one incredible gaming experience. Graphics is what this laptop is all about, and it can certainly throw its weight around Read more

Samsung NC20 review
Unlike the majority of its Intel Atom-based rivals, the 12.1-inch NC20 netbook is based on a Via Nano CPU and offers significantly better performance as a result. It also has excellent battery life, although its high-resolution screen is too reflective for our liking. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic netbook Read more

Alienware M17x (Core i7) review
Alienware has updated its high-end, 17-inch M17x gaming laptop with some new components, and the result is an incredibly powerful machine. Using it feels like getting punched in the face by God -- in a good way. It's expensive, though, and it's about as portable as a bath full of cement Read more

Sony Vaio CW series (VPCCW1S1E) review
The 14-inch Vaio VPCCW1S1E is an excellent entertainment laptop. It looks stylish, its screen handles movies well, and, as usual with Sony machines, its keyboard is very good. It's no slouch in the performance stakes either, offering enough power to satisfy all but the most demanding gamer Read more

Apple MacBook (multi-touch white 2009) review
Apple has given its plastic entry-level MacBook laptop a small spec bump and a 'unibody' makeover, making it lighter and sturdier than before. The battery isn't user-replaceable now, but will last longer, while the trackpad has been upgraded to the same glass multi-touch design as the MacBook Pros' Read more

MSI X600 review
If you like ostentatious laptops, the 15.6-inch X600 probably isn't for you. This thin-and-light laptop is about as conspicuous as a stealth bomber, but it's a gorgeous specimen nonetheless, and its ultra-low-voltage CPU delivers surprisingly good performance Read more

Apple MacBook (white 2009 edition) review
The last MacBook left in Apple's lineup has had a worthwhile update. It offers specs and performance on a par with the higher-end MacBook Pros but for significantly less money. It's a sturdy machine and the keyboard is excellent, but the white plastic design is starting to look dated Read more
