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

Sony Vaio Y Series (VPC-YB2M1E) review An excellent evolution of the netbook; Sony’s new Y series is a great looking ultraportable

HP Envy 14 Beats Edition review It looks great and has solid performance, but we would expect the latest technology in a laptop that costs more than £1,000

Toshiba Satellite L775-119 review A great desktop replacement laptop with the potential to be a fantastic multimedia machine

Acer Aspire 5750G Dedicated graphics and a powerful processor make this one of the best mid-range laptops you can buy

Fujitsu Lifebook P701 review It's light, lasts for six hours away from the mains and has some unique features

Lenovo IdeaPad U260 review A gorgeous design using luxurious materials and with Lenovo's customary great keyboard, but the screen and battery life are disappointing

Dell Alienware M11xR3 review The M11x is unique in its ability to play games and yet last for 11 hours away from the mains, but the screen lets it down

MSI X370 review The X370 has a decent keyboard, is light and has decent battery life, but you can get faster ultra-portables for only a fraction more.

HP Pavilion dm1-3100sa review It may look like a very smart netbook, but the dm1 is twice as fast and has good speakers; however its dim screen lets it down

Sony Vaio VPC-SB1V9E/B review The functional design may not appeal to everyone, but this ultra-portable has it all, including an optical drive
