Laptops

Samsung Q430 review Decent Windows and 3D performance, over five hours battery life and an excellent screen make the Q430 a great lightweight all-round laptop.

Acer Aspire One D260 review A slender netbook with a great display, but its battery life simply isn’t good enough to make a first choice for those working on the go

Fujitsu Lifebook P770 review Fujitsu have crammed a wondrous number of features into this small wonder, but poor build quality and a cramped keyboard let it down, and it's far too expensive

Novatech V14 review Incredibly thin and with a processor that puts netbooks to shame. However, battery life isn't great and the keyboard lacks quality.

Lenovo Thinkpad X201 review Solid build quality and a comfortable keyboard are expected of a ThinkPad; the X201 adds desktop performance and a half-day of battery life

MSI X400 review The 14in screen makes this a great alternative to a netbook for movie and photo fans, but performance isn't much better than a netbook and battery life isn't astounding

Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820T Near-desktop performance, nine-hour battery life and a great keyboard; only the screen's vertical viewing angles let it down.

Sony Vaio Y21S1E/L review Decent performance and battery life make the Y21 a great travelling companion, but you pay a huge premium for the brand. Ultimately, there are better-value alternatives.

Dell Alienware M11x review A portable laptop that can play Crysis for almost two hours on battery power is almost unbelievable, but it's tragically let down by the poor screen

Asus U35JC review

Asus K52JC review The Asus K52JC is a well-equipped laptop, but it's overpriced at £700.

Sony Vaio VPC-EE2S1E/B review Sony's latest Vaio looks sleek, but it's not fast enough in everyday applications compared to other laptop, and it has unusually short battery life.

Acer Aspire 5551 review The Acer Aspire 5551 is an attractive laptop that's comfortable to use, but it's not especially fast and the screen is average.
