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

Asus G73Jh review
During testing of the 17.3-inch G73Jh gaming laptop, we had to change our underwear on several occasions, such is the excitement caused by its blistering performance. It's not just the fastest laptop we've seen so far though -- it's also a machine of understated beauty, and excellent value for money 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

rockdirect Xtreme CTX T7400 review
The rockdirect Xtreme CTX T7400 is among the first laptops available in the UK to use an Intel next-generation Core 2 Duo processor. Intel says the Core 2 Duo is up to 20 per cent faster than its predecessor and this PC's intimidating performance confirmed that. Shame about the chassis, though Read more

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

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

Asus V1J review
Asus' V1J laptop is a solid all-rounder. Some may struggle with the unconventional keys but designers will welcome the image integrity offered by the non-glossy screen. An integrated fingerprint reader offers security for those working with sensitive data Read more

Asus G1 review
Laptop-loving gamers are often stuck with portable systems that are nearly as bulky as desktops, so Asus has created the industrial-flavoured G1 in an attempt to provide gaming power in a smaller package. The G1 has a 15-inch screen, a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and a GeForce Go 7700 graphics card Read more

MSI GT725 review
If you can overlook its hideous appearance, the 17-inch GT725 is a relatively affordable and extremely capable gaming laptop. With a good screen and Blu-ray drive, it's also a sound choice for people whose priority is media-playback capability. Overall, it's a great desktop replacement Read more

Toshiba Satellite A665 review
The Toshiba Satellite A665-11Z isn't the most powerful laptop in this price range, but it does pack 3D capability into an attractive, highly usable, 15.6-inch machine. Read more
