Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, summer 2009) review

Apple has promoted its basic 13-inch, aluminium unibody MacBook to the Pro series, adding more features while reducing the price of the base configuration. The end result is one of the most universally useful laptops available, although there's still some features we'd like to see included 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

Apple MacBook (aluminium 2008 edition) review

There's a new breed of MacBook in town, and it's more attractive, more powerful and more expensive than ever before. The new design has much in common with the aluminium-swathed MacBook Pro, but sports a smaller 13.3-inch screen and less graphical power Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, summer 2009) review

The latest update to Apple's premium 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor modifications. Nevertheless, a faster CPU, better battery and the addition of an SD card slot, together with a price cut, make it a substantial improvement on its predecessor Read more

Toshiba Portege S100 review

The S100 might not get design geeks salivating, but its unobtrusiveness is part of its solidity. Gimmick-free, it's a classic thin-and-light laptop that gets the essentials absolutely spot on Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.33GHz) review

This sleek, aluminium MacBook Pro is the same size and shape as its predecessor but is boosted by Intel's latest-and-greatest processor -- Core 2 Duo. For Apple devotees, it's the little things that count, and this model has a handful of extras that help it stand out amid a fairly generic field of competitors Read more
