Toshiba Portege M780 review

The 12.1-inch Toshiba Portege M780 gives you the freedom of laptop or tablet operating modes, but it's too unattractive and bulky for our tastes Read more

Toshiba Satellite L650 review

The 15.6-inch Satellite L650-12Q may be cheap, but it offers plenty of reasons to be cheerful. It looks good, it's well built, and it'll handle with aplomb pretty much anything you throw at it. As long as you don't mind its limited connectivity options, this machine will put a smile on your Chevy Chase Read more

Samsung R730 review

The 17.3-inch R730 desktop-replacement laptop is big, red and cheap -- and we like it. You won't get mind-melting performance from it, but it's an attractive and dependable day-to-day machine that will serve well for both business and pleasure purposes Read more

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 review

Lenovo's Edge range of affordable, business-centric laptops boast 'progressive, sophisticated' designs intended to combat the yawns usually associated with the ThinkPad brand. In reality, that means a red lid. Perhaps not enough to stifle the dreariness, but it's a solid performer nonetheless Read more

Sony Vaio S series (VPCS11V9E/B) review

The 13.3-inch Vaio S-series VPCS11V9E/B laptop is a respectable replacement for a desktop PC. Its battery life isn't particularly inspiring, but it compensates for this with its strong performance, comfortable keyboard, and handy integrated 3G modem, for go-anywhere Internet access Read more

Alienware M11x review

The 11.6-inch M11x is something we never thought we'd see: a gaming netbook. But don't let the 'n' word put you off, because, despite its compact size, the M11x can tear strips off larger machines when it comes to performance. Comfortable to use, portable and blisteringly quick, it's a stunning piece of kit Read more

Toshiba Satellite U500 review

The 13.3-inch Satellite U500 is thick and heavy, but it looks great, with an appealing brown finish. Its keyboard is very comfortable, its performance is decent, if not mind-blowing, and it's available with a touchscreen, if that's your bag. Just don't expect the best image quality in the world Read more

Asus UL50Vt review

The 15.6-inch UL50Vt is an excellent desktop-replacement laptop that you'd be proud to take to and from the office. It looks great for a machine of its size, it's comfortable to use, it offers excellent battery life, and it has switchable graphics cards that let you prioritise either battery life or performance Read more

MSI GT640 review

The 15.4-inch GT640's desktop wallpaper proclaims that it's the fastest quad-core laptop in the world. That's wishful thinking, but this machine is certainly capable of satisfying even the most demanding user. It's also cheaper than many of its rivals, so, if you can stomach its appearance, it's worth a look Read more

MSI CX600 review

The 16-inch CX600 offers superb value for money, with a nippy processor, a gaming-capable graphics card and plenty of memory. It's not particularly attractive and its lack of an HDMI output is a real shame, but, at this price, this machine is very difficult to ignore Read more
