Review summary	The XPS M1730 lives up to its nickname of being a beast of a laptop. It's a complete brute to take anywhere, and the battery life is shocking, but it's the fastest laptop we've tested Read full review	The Xtreme CTX T7400 is difficult to beat if performance is all that matters. It outshines all standard Core Duo laptops by a considerable margin and its gaming capabilities are only surpassed by laptops with dual graphics cards Read full review	The W90 is the fastest gaming laptop we've ever tested. Its hyper-quick graphics card and enormous 18.4-inch screen has opened a can of industrial-strength whup-ass on its Alienware and Dell XPS rivals. Just make sure you're strong enough to carry the thing Read full review	The Alienware M17 is a magnificent beast. It's attractive, can be kitted out with just about any component you need and is blisteringly quick. Alternatives exist, but few laptops can match this polygon-munching monster's customisation options and features Read full review
