Laptops

MSI U270 review A smart little laptop, but the U270 isn’t as well equipped as its similarly priced competitors

HP Pavilion DM4 review Decent performance and a great design, but the keyboard is a bit annoying

Packard Bell NX69 review It’s portable, powerful and looks great. If you can look past a few minor touchpad issues, the NX69 is a great mid-range laptop

Toshiba Satellite C670-14P review A decent mid-range laptop with a great screen, but the superior competition costs less

Samsung RV720 review A gorgeous design, decent performance and a great screen make Samsung’s RV720 a great budget desktop replacement

Lenovo IdeaPad S205 review The next evolution of the netbook - it might lack the visual flair of its rivals, but the IdeaPad S205 gets everything else right

Toshiba Satellite L755D-12L review A great first showing for AMD Llano; desktop performance on a par with Intel’s budget chips

Apple MacBook Pro 17in (2011) review It’s highly desirable, but ultra-expensive; unless you need its power and big, high resolution screen, the 15in version is better

Sony VAIO VPC-Z21M9E review Quite possibly the ultimate ultra-portable thanks to an external graphics card, but you have to pay through the nose for it

Dell Alienware M14x review A no-compromise gaming powerhouse squeezed into a very compact 14in chassis

Acer Aspire 5755G review Plenty of performance, great battery life and a new look; the Aspire 5755G is a powerful multimedia machine

Medion Erazer X6813 review Very powerful components, but the keyboard and screen let the Erazer down

HP Pavilion dv6-6051ea review It's lovely to look at, but for this price, the dv6 is underspecified
