Toshiba Satellite P500 review
With its HD DVD format dead and buried, Toshiba has finally released a laptop with an optional Blu-ray drive. The huge, 18.4-inch screen doesn't have a 1080p resolution, but you can hook the Satellite P500 up to an external display via its HDMI port. This behemoth feels quick in everyday use and can handle most 3D games 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

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

Asus N53SN review
The 15.6-inch Asus N53SN is a very capable laptop, thanks to its powerful chip and graphics card. Its design leaves something to be desired, but this machine's worth a look if you want plenty of grunt at an affordable price. Read more

Samsung SF310 review
The 13.3-inch Samsung SF310 has a unique design and offers decent performance, but we don't think it does quite enough to justify its relatively high asking price. Read more

Sony Vaio TT review
Sony's T series has always represented the ultimate in ultraportable computing and its latest incarnation, the TT epitomises everything the series stands for: it's attractive, has great connectivity and is highly portable. Netbooks offer similar functionality for a fraction of the price, but the Sony Vaio TT is the best money can buy Read more

Dell XPS 15 review
As long as you don't go crazy with the customisation options, the Dell XPS 15 will prove a relatively affordable and powerful laptop with a great display. But it's big, bulky and has a few design quirks that keep it from being great. 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

Samsung X360 review
Lighter than Apple's MacBook Air, with excellent battery life and a 128GB solid-state drive, Samsung's X360 is an attractive ultra-portable. Performance-wise, the X360 isn't suited to intensive applications, but its reasonable price makes it well worth considering Read more

Alienware M15x review
Capable of being configured to your heart's delight, the 15.6-inch M15x gaming laptop can quickly become very pricey, and it's not particularly portable either, but there's no denying that it's a powerful performer. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better-built or faster 15-inch laptop Read more
