Typical price: £849
What is it: 15.4-inch laptop with overclocking turbo button
What we think: It's good value for money, considering the fact it can so easily be overclocked, but it's far from perfect

We like:
Instant overclocking feature genuinely works; plenty of disk space; HDMI output
We don't like:
Questionable design; keyboard and mouse trackpad are fiddly
CNET UK judgement:
The Turbobook GX600 is a mixed bag. We'd recommend it to anyone who does a lot of CPU-intensive work, as its overclocking feature works brilliantly and does actually improve core performance. It's not so hot while running games, and the battery life isn't all that great, but it's decent value for money
