| Review summary | The Sony Vaio CR series -- the blue, pink or white CR11S, and the red CR11Z -- is difficult to fault. It comes in a range of superb colour finishes, has a very good overall specification; and best of all it won't cost you the Earth. If you're looking for a big-name laptop that delivers in all aspects, then look no further 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 |

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
