Review summary	The W5Fe is a great laptop -- it's well built and mostly comfortable to use. Whether you'll find SideShow, its key feature, useful is a matter of individual taste. If so, it's the perfect Vista laptop; if not, there are cheaper and better alternatives. Read full review	The Acer Timeline Aspire 4810T is an impressive thin and light laptop with amazing battery life. It may not be the speediest or best-looking laptop we've ever seen, but, for around £750, it's something of a steal nevertheless Read full review	The M1330 is a great improvement on the XPS M1210. It looks nicer, uses more modern components and should make you the envy of your laptop-owning friends Read full review	The Lamborghini VX1 isn't for everybody. It's more expensive than ordinary laptops, lacks the practicality of a widescreen display and has styling that will upset the faint-hearted. But these are criticisms that could just as easily describe the legendary cars with which it shares its name. Ultimately, the VX1 isn't as fast or as trendy as a real Lambo, but if you can stomach its looks and price tag, there's little here not to recommend Read full review
