Sony Vaio Z series (VPCZ11Z9E/B) review
Those with a dodgy heart should seek medical advice before inquiring into the price of the Vaio Z-series VPCZ11Z9E/B. But this 13.1-inch ultra-portable laptop is a tempting beast, offering excellent performance in a beautiful, highly portable chassis Read more

rockdirect Xtreme 64 review
Not content with making the first laptop to use a dual-core CPU, rockdirect has also crammed in an Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX Go graphics adaptor, the fastest mobile graphics chip available. This is not so much a desktop replacement as an improvement -- but it's very expensive, very hot and very, very heavy Read more

rockdirect Xtreme Ti review
While some may be put off by the Xtreme Ti's overwhelming weight and extortionate price, bulky laptops like this are the only option if you need cutting-edge gaming performance in a luggable device. The design isn't as extreme as the Alienware's Area 51m, but that might be an advantage if you want it for tasks other than eye-bleedingly fast gaming Read more

Alienware Aurora mALX review
The Aurora mALX is arguably the most audacious gaming laptop in Alienware's line-up. Not only is it airbrushed to give it a 'gamer' aesthetic, but it's also the first laptop to use 1GB of dedicated graphics memory -- giving it arguably the greatest graphics performance seen outside of a high-end gaming rig Read more

Sony Vaio VGN-UX1XN review
Sony has achieved something very exciting, squeezing Windows Vista on to a computer smaller than even the teeniest ultra-portable laptop. Solid-state memory makes it quick to boot up too. Read more

Dell XPS 710 H2C review
Despite buying Alienware, Dell continues to produce outstanding gaming rigs, such as the brand-new XPS 710 HTC. This beast introduces two elements we've never seen on a Dell -- factory overclocking and a space-age water-cooling system Read more

Alienware m9700 review
Alienware is usually quick off the starting blocks when it comes to a new graphics configuration or technology, but with the m9700 it stands out for another reason -- it's decked out in a rather garish shade of Cyborg Green. It's difficult to fault the core spec, though -- 2GB of RAM and a 2.2GHz processor -- and its 17-inch display is great for gaming Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.33GHz) review
This sleek, aluminium MacBook Pro is the same size and shape as its predecessor but is boosted by Intel's latest-and-greatest processor -- Core 2 Duo. For Apple devotees, it's the little things that count, and this model has a handful of extras that help it stand out amid a fairly generic field of competitors Read more

Alienware Aurora 7500 (FX-60) review
The Aurora 7500 is the perfect showcase for Alienware's ability to produce high-performance PCs. Its specification makes for impressive reading -- Alienware has equipped it with not one, but two of the latest graphics cards, 1 terabyte of physical storage and the fastest gaming processor available Read more
