Laptops

Lenovo ThinkPad X121e review Solid performance from an 11in laptop – the X121e is a more sensible choice than a netbook if you need portability

HP Mini 210 review Unbeatable battery life and a rock bottom price, but if you can afford more, there are much more powerful laptops available

Samsung RC710 review A well designed desktop replacement, but it isn't great value at this price

Sony Vaio VPC-YB3V1E review A high resolution screen and fantastic keyboard, but performance and battery life are underwhelming

Acer Aspire 5749 review A fantastic budget laptop with everything you need – performance, battery life and masses of storage

Dell Inspiron 14z review It isn't the cheapest version of the 14z, but battery life is excellent, as is performance

Asus U46SV review A great mid-range laptop that won’t weigh you down when on the move – if an Ultrabook doesn’t appeal, the U46SV is the next best thing

Dell XPS 14z review Excellent performance and great battery life, wrapped in a gorgeous chassis for a reasonable price

Asus ZenBook UX31 review The Asus UX31 is a superb ultra-portable laptop and a genuine alternative to the MacBook Air

HP Pavilion DV7-6101sa review Another great Pavilion laptop from HP, but if you’re after serious desktop performance you’ll have to look elsewhere

Asus Lamborghini VX7 review Fantastic performance, in Windows and in games, but the VX7 can’t match other ultra-high-end laptops for build quality and battery life

Asus Eee Pad Slider review A decent screen and clever hidden keyboard make this an attractive proposition, but there are better pure tablets

Acer Aspire TimelineX 4830T review A budget laptop that’s small in size, but big on battery life – if you need an optical drive, the 4830T is a great choice
