Asus S6F review
It's got a beautiful 11-inch screen, Intel Core Duo processor and -- best of all -- leather panelling for the lid and wrist-rests. The S6F is undoubtedly the most stylish ultraportable laptop we've seen, and thanks to its performance, it's one of the best all-round, too. We just can't wait for the pink version... Read more

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

With the 17-inch M17 gaming laptop, Alienware has created a gigantic, polygon-munching monster. Offering some of the best performance we've ever seen, it's insanely fast, has a multitude of high-end customisation options and is attractive to boot. Few rivals can really match it Read more
