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

Toshiba Satellite L775 review
Gaming isn't the forte of our version of the Toshiba Satellite L775, the L775-119. In most other areas, though, this is a fine 17.3-inch laptop, offering a great screen, comfortable keyboard and speedy performance. Read more

Apple MacBook (white 2009 edition) review
The last MacBook left in Apple's lineup has had a worthwhile update. It offers specs and performance on a par with the higher-end MacBook Pros but for significantly less money. It's a sturdy machine and the keyboard is excellent, but the white plastic design is starting to look dated 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

Apple MacBook Pro (2008 Edition, 15-in, 2.5GHz) review
The Apple MacBook Pro (2008 Edition, 15-in, 2.5GHz) laptop is the first upgrade to the line since the release of the MacBook Air. With its design the same, it features the new Intel Penryn-class processors and borrows the multi-touch gesturing system from the Air Read more

Alienware Area 51m 7700 review
There's something kooky about Alienware. It's the kid at school who threw balled-up paper around during maths lessons, but then quietly snuck off to read up on relativity at lunch time. The Alienware brand says 'late-90s raver', but the Alienware components and price tag say 'I'm deadly serious about my PC' 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 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

Asus Lamborghini VX1 review
With canary-yellow styling -- and a price tag -- that will upset the faint of heart, the VX1 wears its Italian supercar badge with pride, and packs specs to match. It's not the most insanely well-equipped laptop we've seen, but its 2GHz Intel T2500 CPU and 2GB RAM give it a very potent foundation 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
