Dell Laptops

Dell Inspiron 15

The 15.6-inch Inspiron 15 is a highly customisable laptop, but you'll get a solid chassis and good keyboard no matter which configuration you opt for. Adding on the extras will make the cost rise quickly, but it's possible to build a capable machine for an affordable price

Dell Adamo

The Adamo, one of the most keenly anticipated laptops of 2009, is a remarkably thin machine, with plenty of high-end visual touches that help it to live up to its luxury billing. It's a decent performer for a low-power laptop, but, at this price, we'd expect battery life to be better

Dell Studio XPS 13

The Studio XPS 13 an attractive laptop with very impressive raw performance, not to mention relatively strong build quality and good wireless capabilities. Although certain aspects of the laptop's design prevent it from attaining overall excellence, it remains a very good machine

Dell Studio XPS 16

The Studio XPS 16 -- Dell's first true 16:9, 16-inch laptop -- is a smart-looking machine and a powerful performer.

Dell Latitude E4200

The Dell Latitude E4200 is tiny -- its screen is just 12 inches and it weighs less than 1Kg -- and it'll come with all manner of ways to connect to the Internet: 3G, WiMax, 802.11n Wi-Fi. On top of all that, it's attractive, with a definite air of 'cool' about it

User rating 4.0

Dell XPS M1530

While most people don't think 'sexy' when they think of desktop replacements, Dell's turn towards a 'design-first' philosophy pays off with its XPS M1530. It's easily the best-looking 15-inch laptop in recent memory with a thin profile and light weight -- this laptop may change minds

Dell XPS M2010

When Dell unveiled the XPS M2010 laptop concept at CES 2006, few expected it to reach the retail market -- the 20-inch laptop was far more audacious than anything we'd seen previously. But with a fast Intel Centrino Duo T2600 processor running at 2.16GHz and strong graphics capabilities, this baby certainly doesn't disappoint

Dell Latitude D520

The D520 benefits from an Intel Core Duo processor, which delivers faster mobile performance and markedly better battery life than its predecessor. Its 15-inch screen isn't wide-aspect, but this is still a smart choice for business and home users seeking a well-balanced laptop

Editor's rating 6.2

Dell Inspiron 9400

The 9400 sports a large, 17-inch widescreen display, uses the Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system, and has enough input/output ports to put many desktop PCs to shame. It's not much cop when it comes to games (there's no dedicated graphics card) but its battery life is fantastic -- nearly 4 hours
