Dell Adamo XPS review

A real tentpole of Dell's new focus on high-end design, the Adamo XPS is an innovative take on the super-thin laptop. With a large lid that raises the keyboard to aid typing when it's opened, it's certainly a conversation piece. But is it worth the trade-off in battery life and price? Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, spring 2010) review

Apple's latest 15-inch MacBook Pros look similar to their predecessors in terms of appearance, but their innards have received a welcome power boost. We'd still like to see an HDMI port, Blu-ray drive and 3G connectivity, but the high-end model that we reviewed delivered pleasingly powerful performance Read more

HP Mini 5102 review

The 10.1-inch Mini 5102 is an updated version of one of yesteryear's better netbooks, the Mini 5101. While it doesn't really deliver any performance improvements, it's a solidly built machine that now offers a number of configuration options, including a touchscreen Read more

Alienware M15x review

Capable of being configured to your heart's delight, the 15.6-inch M15x gaming laptop can quickly become very pricey, and it's not particularly portable either, but there's no denying that it's a powerful performer. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better-built or faster 15-inch laptop Read more

Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T review

The 13.3-inch Aspire Timeline 3810T boasts a slim, attractive design and a lightweight body, although we'd like to see an optical drive included. Compared to other slim 12- and 13-inch laptops, it also offers decent performance, but it's the extra-long battery life that really makes this machine stand out 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

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

HP Pavilion dv2 review

Powered by AMD's Athlon Neo CPU, the Pavilion dv2 aims to straddle the divide between netbooks and more expensive ultra-portables. It looks great, can certainly outperform netbooks based on the Intel Atom or Via Nano processors, and puts in a decent gaming performance too Read more

Dell Adamo review

The Adamo, one of the most keenly anticipated laptops of 2009, is a remarkably thin machine, with plenty of high-end visual touches that help it to live up to its luxury billing. It's a decent performer for a low-power laptop, but, at this price, we'd expect battery life to be better Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch unibody) review

The redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro has an aluminium unibody design, a new multitouch trackpad and a dual-graphics set-up for boosting either battery life or performance. Those tweaks, combined with excellent performance and impressive battery life, help to make it an appealing, but expensive, laptop Read more
