Laptops

Acer Aspire Timeline U M5-581TG review Poor touchpad design puts a bit of a crimp in this otherwise outstanding laptop’s usability

Lenovo Ideapad Z585 review We appreciated the gaming power and excellent keyboard of this laptop, but competition is stiff at this price

Toshiba Satellite L955D-104 review This workmanlike sub-£500 laptop runs desktop applications perfectly well but doesn’t impress in terms of power or features

Toshiba Satellite U940-11N review This little laptop packs in plenty of power but similarly-priced ultraportables are more capable

Dell Inspiron 17 This sturdy desktop replacement provides plenty of power and a 17.3in screen at a very low price

Asus Vivobook S500CA review This slim touchscreen laptop has plenty of features but minimal performance

Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition review Its keyboard isn't ideal for coding, but technical staff may value this Ultrabook

Gigabyte U2442F review Its screen could be better, but this is a great Ultrabook, particularly for gamers

Asus Vivobook S400CA review Great if you need a lightweight touchscreen ultraportable laptop, but a little underpowered for the money

Packard Bell EasyNote TE11HC review This cheap but surprisingly capable budget laptop is a great general-purpose machine for little cash

MSI CX61 review A stunning screen and powerful hardware make this a great-value laptop for gamers and film fans alike

HP Envy M6 review Excellent battery life and great for games, the Envy M6-1205SA is a bargain

Acer Aspire V5-571P Touch review An improvement on the non-touch V5-571 in almost every way; this touchscreen laptop is both cheap and powerful
