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

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

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

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

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook S6410 review
The Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook S6410 is a good ultraportable laptop and a joy to use. The keyboard is responsive and ergonomically designed, and it sports plenty of great features, including integrated 3G connectivity and a mounted webcam. With its light, good looks, this laptop won't weigh you down 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

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

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

Motion LE1600 review
The LE1600's carbon-fibre chassis is as corporate as a grey flannel suit, but its sleek design and the powerful performance make for an attractive system. If you're sold on slate-style tablets and can stomach paying around £1,500 for a portable computer without a keyboard, this is the machine for you Read more
