Toshiba Tecra R840 review

The 14-inch Toshiba Tecra R840-11E is a good option if you need a laptop for work purposes. It has a great keyboard, plenty of grunt, and it's small and light enough to comfortably carry around. Read more

Samsung Q430 review

The worst we can say about the 14-inch Samsung Q430 laptop is that some of its features are merely standard, rather than really impressive. But, overall, this is a light, powerful, stylish and affordable laptop that's a pleasure to use. Read more

HP Pavilion dm4-1050ea review

The Pavilion dm4-1050ea's all-metal chassis makes it feel like a high-class piece of kit, as does its high-resolution, 14-inch screen. Its lack of a dedicated graphics card means you won't be playing the latest games on this machine, but it offers decent performance in other areas Read more
