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

Sony Vaio CW series (VPCCW1S1E) review
The 14-inch Vaio VPCCW1S1E is an excellent entertainment laptop. It looks stylish, its screen handles movies well, and, as usual with Sony machines, its keyboard is very good. It's no slouch in the performance stakes either, offering enough power to satisfy all but the most demanding gamer Read more

Samsung RF710 review
The 17.3-inch Samsung RF710-S03UK looks okay and offers decent performance for your cash. But, while it's a good all-rounder, we've seen other laptops perform better for less money. Read more

Acer Ferrari 5000 review
This is a premium laptop with an AMD (also a Ferrari sponsor) processor -- the Ferrari brand pushes the performance angle, which is a useful excuse to push up the price. That demands a high specification, so Acer has loaded it with features, including a high-resolution display, loads of memory and decent graphics Read more

Samsung R510 review
Whether you're after a work or a leisure laptop, with a 15.4-inch screen and fairly impressive performance, the stylish and affordable R510 is well worth investigating. It also benefits from a sizeable, comfortable keyboard with an anti-bacterial coating, although we expected to see more USB ports Read more

The 15.6-inch Lenovo B550 laptop has an attractively low price, but its specification is basic and its design uninspiring. Read more

Toshiba Satellite A660-15T review
The configuration of the Toshiba Satellite A660 that we reviewed, the A660-15T, has its flaws, but it's a great all-rounder nevertheless. Although its 16-inch screen could be more vivid, it offers strong performance, a carefully crafted design, and a great keyboard and trackpad Read more

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz) review
Apple's 13.3-inch MacBooks with Core 2 Duo, available in the standard Apple colours of black and white, are nearly as powerful as their 15- and 17-inch Pro cousins, and they include a lot of the same features -- they're a no-brainer for anyone who wants to step up to an Apple laptop or upgrade their older MacBook Read more

The M11x gaming netbook has been updated with new internal components, for even slicker gaming on the go. If you often find yourself wishing you could frag enemy scumbags without lugging around a whopping gaming rig, you should definitely check it out Read more

Acer Aspire 5750G review
The Acer Aspire 5750G's screen could be better and its chassis is plasticky, but this 15.6-inch laptop packs some seriously powerful components for a reasonable price. Read more
