Moneydance review A decent home accounts package, but GNUCash is free and has the same range of features.

GnuCash review Free, easy to use and lots of good features, making it better than some of its commercial rivals.

HP EliteBook 6930p review HP's EliteBook has good battery life, a comfortable keyboard and a long warranty, but it's expensive and has a tiny hard disk.

Toshiba Tecra M10-10i review The Tecra is a well-designed laptop for business users; for everyone else, better value laptops are available.

Asus U50VG review Not a terrible laptop when viewed on its own, but with no Blu-ray drive or decent gaming performance, the U50VG looks overpriced here.

Sony Vaio FW41E/H review Sony's generously equipped Vaio FW41E/H is a great laptop with something for everyone, including Blu-ray playback and a large hard disk.

Acer Aspire 8930G-864G32Bn review A great entertainment laptop with a full HD screen and reasonable gaming performance, but it's outshone by Sony's Vaio FW41E/H.

Sony Vaio NW11S/S review A funky design and great 3D performance make this a decent laptop, but it's let down by a slightly washed-out display and a fairly high price.

Packard Bell EasyNote TR87 review A smart, well-made laptop, with a generous software bundle and useful features. Below average battery life is its only weakness.

Asus K50IN-SX025C review A great display, two-year warranty and decent battery life make the K50IN-SX025C an excellent choice.

MSI VR705 review The 17in screen sets the VR705 apart. However, the mediocre keyboard and touchpad mean it's not the perfect all-rounder.

Hi-Grade Notino W5900 review A gaudy lid design doesn't hide the budget features of this laptop, but it's well built with a great keyboard.

Samsung R505 review Good build quality and generous hard disk capacity can't quite make up for poor performance and a higher price than PC Nextday's Versa.
