Typical price: £650
What is it: Thin, light laptop with a 13-inch display
What we think: Excellent battery life and a solid performer, but the cheaper Q210 is a more attractive option

We like:
Battery life; sturdy chassis; compact and light
We don't like:
Disappointing screen; keyboard flexing at the corner; 13-inch screen not worth the extra money
CNET UK judgement:
The only major difference between this and the 12-inch Q210 is the slightly bigger display. However, since both run at the same native resolution, the benefits of the Q310's 13-inch screen are minimal. And with similar performance, we prefer the cheaper Q210
