Laptops

Medion Akoya E3211 review The Akoya E3211 is light and easy to carry around, but with a single-core processor it's also low-powered, and there are better alternatives.

Asus K50IJ review A great mix of decent performance, sturdy build quality and good usability makes this laptop an excellent choice.

Stone Neo review The ExpressCard slot, long warranty and great keyboard makes the Neo stand out from the pack, but its battery life is below par.

Dell Adamo Admire Onyx review Dell's Adamo looks and feels like a classy ultra portable, but more practical laptops are available for less.

Asus G71Gx review A huge screen and Blu-ray drive are ideal for HD films, but average 3D performance doesn't justify the price.

Acer TravelMate Timeline 8371-944G32N review Acer's TravelMate Timeline is one of the best ultra-portable laptops we've seen thanks to its excellent battery life and performance.

Packard Bell Easynote Butterfly review Packard Bell's Butterfly is a good ultra-portable with a bundled DVD drive, but Acer's TravelMate Timeline 8371 is even better.

Advent Altro review Advent's Altro is impressively slender, but its small hard disk and incredibly slow processor mean it's impossible to recommend.

Lenovo IdeaPad U350 review Lenovo's sleek and cheap IdeaPad U350 has a quality display and keyboard but is let down by creaky build quality and uninspiring battery life.

Dell Studio XPS 16 review Dell's Studio XPS 16 looks attractive and has some desirable features, but its spongy keyboard is a disappointment.

Mesh Edge 15 M870R CS review Mesh's Edge 15 has great performance, and the Blu-ray drive is great for entertainment. It's fantastic value and wins our Best Buy award.

Lenovo ThinkPad R500 review Lenovo's ThinkPad R500 has surprisingly long battery life, but it otherwise failed to live up to our expectations, and is also expensive.

Toshiba Satellite L550-113 review An impressive laptop with a high-resolution screen, comfortable keyboard and good 3D performance, but battery life isn't great.
