| Review summary | The Asus UX50V is an odd laptop. It's relatively slow, so it's not the sort of machine you'd want to use at home on a day-to-day basis, but it has long battery life, although it's probably too unwieldy to take with you on your travels. It is stunning to look at, though, so, if you can bear to carry it around, it will at least impress your friends 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
Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards
