Laptops

Samsung Q330 (NP-Q330-JA01UK) review It's a decent ultra-portable, but for this price you can get a laptop with more memory.

MSI GX740 (GX740-061Uk) review This chunky desktop replacement is great for playing games but is otherwise underpowered and has poor battery life.

MSI CR630 review It may not blow you away with its performance, but the improved keyboard and screen make this the best budget Blu-ray notebook

Samsung N230 review A smart, thin netbook with an outstanding battery life, but the dull screen lets the side down

Dell Inspiron M101z review The M101z has decent battery life and a vibrant screen, all wrapped up in a luxurious chassis, but better cut-price ultra-portable options are available.

Toshiba Satellite T110-12T review Eight-hour battery life and good single-threaded performance make this an alternative to a netbook, but Packard Bell's Dot u has far better performance for a little extra cost.

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.
