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

| Review summary | 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 Read full review |
The Sony Vaio VGN-AR11S is the best multimedia laptop on the market. It contains all you need for enjoying full high-definition video on its own screen or on a larger display. If you're backing Blu-ray over HD DVD this Media Center laptop comes thoroughly recommended Read full review |
Dell's XPS M2010 is truly a special laptop. It's likely to be the subject of scorn on initial inspection, but it won't take long to realise that it's not intended to be a traditional laptop. It's a completely new concept that's best described as a portable desktop PC, so if you're averse to the idea of owning a chunky tower or desktop machine, you could do a lot worse than check this out Read full review |
Powerful innards and a sleek, sexy exterior make this the most desirable laptop we've seen in a long time. If you want a portable to impress, look no further 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
Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards
