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.

HP Pavilion dv6-1240sa review
HP's Pavilion dv6 isn't a bad laptop, but the tough competition means that you can get a better laptop for less money.

Dell's Studio 15 is an excellent choice if you need a laptop powerful enough for gaming that also has a good battery life.

Toshiba Satellite L500-11V review
A comfortable laptop to use, but the screen looks slightly washed out and is disappointing, particularly at this price.
