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

ViewSonic ViewBook Pro review

The 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro borrows heavily from Apple's MacBook Pro in terms of design, but it costs significantly less. As long as you don't push it too hard, it'll make a decent travel companion. It also packs some useful extras, such as a fingerprint reader that lets you log into your favourite Web sites without a password Read more

Sony Vaio Y series (VPCY11M1E/S) review

The slender, 13.3-inch Vaio VPCY11M1E/S won't make you yelp with excitement when it comes to performance, but it is very comfortable to use, with an excellent keyboard. Its funky bundled software also allows you to share media between the laptop and other devices, such as a PlayStation 3 or television 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

Advent Altro review

The 13.3-inch Altro is an unashamed attempt to emulate the MacBook Air. Considering it's almost half the price, it doesn't do too bad a job. Offering 3GB of RAM, strong wireless capabilities and a good keyboard, it's worth a look for those after a relatively cheap thin-and-light laptop Read more

MSI GX723 review

The GX723 desktop-replacement laptop won't thrill your socks off, but it's a solid all-rounder nevertheless. Packing loads of connections, a gaming-capable GPU, and an instant overclocking feature that boosts the laptop's speed by a significant amount, it's worth considering Read more

MSI X340 review

If you think the MacBook Air is too expensive and netbooks are too small, the 13-inch, super-light, super-thin X340 will be worth investigating. The keyboard and battery life aren't overly impressive, but it’s got good connectivity and its looks will certainly get you drooling Read more

Asus F70 review

An unusual 17.3-inch screen is intended to make the Asus F70 laptop stand out from the crowd, with a 16:9 aspect ratio that's perfect for watching movies without seeing black bars at the top and bottom of the picture Read more

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 review

Dell pushes the netbook envelope to the limit with the Mini 12, a 12-inch ultraportable laptop that uses low-power components and open-source software to reduce costs. It's thin, light and simple, but it's underpowered and could do with a better battery Read more
