| Review summary | The MSI GT725's turbo overclocking feature is gimmicky, and the machine is -- on the whole -- hideously ugly. But it's also very fast and well-equipped. Buy it if you're not concerned with looks 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 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 |

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
