Laptops

Toshiba Satellite T130-11H review Light and slim, but large enough for a decent keyboard, the T130 has the battery life of a netbook and far better single-application performance.

Acer Ferrari One review A bright screen and better performance than most netbooks, but the Ferrari styling won't suit everyone.

Samsung N510 review Its 720p-capable screen and Ion chipset are welcome, but its battery life is poor compared to the N120.

Acer Aspire One D250 The inclusion of Android is ultimately disappointing, and otherwise the D250 is just another netbook.

Toshiba Satellite U500-186 review It's well built, but the U500-186's poor battery life and oversensitive touchpad let it down.

Acer Aspire Timeline 5810TG review Its long battery life is impressive, but poor performance and a large case let this laptop down. We'd have preferred a more powerful processor.

Samsung Q320-JS03UK review The Q320's excellent design, great keyboard and small size make it a decent travelling companion.

HP ProBook 4510s An interesting design and reasonable performance, but considering the low specification it's simply too expensive.

Mesh Edge17 HD CS review It has a big screen and a reasonably low price, but general build quality and performance didn't meet with our expectations.

MSI CX700 review A decent desktop-replacement laptop that's capable of playing games. With a large hard disk and powerful components, it's a great choice.

Lenovo G550 With a fast processor and good all-round specification, the G550 is a well-built laptop and is reasonably priced

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.
