Asus N53S review The N53S is a well-designed, well-built laptop that's packed with features including a large hard disk and a Blu-ray drive.

Packard Bell EasyNote TS44-HR-035UK review A stylish budget laptop with decent performance and a good selection of expansion ports. It can't quite match Dell's Inspiron 15R, though.
Samsung Q330 review Improves on the original, but only just; we still want to see 4GB of RAM, but the Q330 is still an excellent ultra-portable laptop.
£560
Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3A) review A great example of how Intel's new processors let manufacturers build powerful and slim laptops, but it's expensive
£1299
Toshiba NB550D review We were very impressed with AMD Fusion, but apart from its impressive speakers the NB550D is a fairly unadventurous netbook.
£301
AsusN53JG review Well built and with a striking design, but its dedicated graphics chip isn't powerful enough and the keyboard is ugly and uncomfortable.
