Asus W90 review

Asus might not be the first name you think of when it comes to gaming laptops, but it has just sent us the fastest portable 3D graphics-pusher we've ever seen. With 6GB of RAM, a Blu-ray drive and a huge 18.4-inch screen, it’s an astonishing performer Read more

rockdirect Xtreme Ti review

While some may be put off by the Xtreme Ti's overwhelming weight and extortionate price, bulky laptops like this are the only option if you need cutting-edge gaming performance in a luggable device. The design isn't as extreme as the Alienware's Area 51m, but that might be an advantage if you want it for tasks other than eye-bleedingly fast gaming Read more

Dell XPS M1330 review

The XPS M1330 is putting an end to Dell's reputation as a faceless corporate PC manufacturer -- it comes in three funky colours and the company claims it's the thinnest laptop in the world. Prepare to be smitten... Read more

Alienware m9700 review

Alienware is usually quick off the starting blocks when it comes to a new graphics configuration or technology, but with the m9700 it stands out for another reason -- it's decked out in a rather garish shade of Cyborg Green. It's difficult to fault the core spec, though -- 2GB of RAM and a 2.2GHz processor -- and its 17-inch display is great for gaming Read more

Alienware Aurora mALX review

The Aurora mALX is arguably the most audacious gaming laptop in Alienware's line-up. Not only is it airbrushed to give it a 'gamer' aesthetic, but it's also the first laptop to use 1GB of dedicated graphics memory -- giving it arguably the greatest graphics performance seen outside of a high-end gaming rig Read more

HP EliteBook 8730w review

A gorgeous 17-inch DreamColour display is the standout feature of the workstation-class EliteBook 8730w, but it's not the only aspect of this laptop that helps justify the premium price tag. The 8730w also boasts superb performance, excellent build quality and a good keyboard Read more

Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook Q2010 review

The Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook Q2010 is an unbelievably small -- tinier than a sheet of A4 paper -- and light ultraportable laptop weighing in at just 1kg. It performs well and has a 12.1-inch glossy screen, which produces good colours. Extended battery life is excellent on this machine Read more

rockdirect Xtreme 64 review

Not content with making the first laptop to use a dual-core CPU, rockdirect has also crammed in an Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX Go graphics adaptor, the fastest mobile graphics chip available. This is not so much a desktop replacement as an improvement -- but it's very expensive, very hot and very, very heavy Read more

Sony Vaio Z series (VPCZ11Z9E/B) review

Those with a dodgy heart should seek medical advice before inquiring into the price of the Vaio Z-series VPCZ11Z9E/B. But this 13.1-inch ultra-portable laptop is a tempting beast, offering excellent performance in a beautiful, highly portable chassis Read more
