Laptops

HP Pavilion dv7-6051ea review An excellent design, great speakers and plenty of performance, but MSI's GE620 is better value if performance is your top priority

Packard Bell EasyNote TS11-HR-040UK review A good-value laptop, but not as good as Packard Bell's own NS44

Sony Vaio F-Series VPC-F22M1E review Fantastic performance and a great HD screen, but the bulky dimensions look dated and it's a bit too expensive

Toshiba Tecra R840 review A fantastic business machine that doesn’t sacrifice performance or functionality for portability or battery life

Rock Xtreme 685 review By placing gaming performance above everything else, the Xtreme 685 loses out to more well-rounded laptops from other manufacturers

Dell XPS 15z review Excellent 2D and 3D performance, and it looks stunning. If you want style as well as substance, the XPS 15z is almost perfect

Samsung NC110 review A well-built netbook with a great keyboard, but it suffers from the usual netbook problems: limited power and a low-resolution screen

HP Pavilion dv7-6000sa review A fantastic looking laptop, and it's great value, too

MSI GE620 review Great performance in both 2D and 3D makes the GE620 a real bargain if power is your priority

Packard Bell EasyNote NS44-HR-033UK review Packard Bell may appear to concentrate more on style than substance, but the NS44 has healthy performance and features at a great price

Samsung Chromebook series 5 review The Series 5 is a fantastic first outing for Chrome OS, but the web-based operating system isn’t ideal for home users

Sony Vaio E-Series VPC-EJ1Z1E review Sony’s E-series makes more sense as a 15in laptop; the 17in model is underpowered and overpriced compared to the competition

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 review There are very few business-oriented ultra-portables with this much power and style, but the X1's battery life is disappointing
