Laptops

Packard Bell dot s2 review A beautifully designed, well-built netbook with an excellent keyboard, decent battery life and some useful extras.

Toshiba NB305 review Stunning battery life and some clever hardware and software touches make this the best 10.1in netbook that you can currently buy.

Broadband Computer Co Alex review Its simplistic approach will suit light needs, but for anyone more curious about computing a Windows PC is cheaper and more flexible

Dell Inspiron 1764 A powerful Core i5 processor and a large, bright screen make this an attractive laptop

Toshiba Satellite A500 review It's a decent, enough laptop, but the keyboard lets it down and you can get better specified laptops for the same price.

Viewsonic ViewBook 130 review A thin and elegant ultra-portable, it's let down by poor performance and short battery life.

PC Nextday Zoostorm 89-2411 While it has no major flaws, the 89-2411 is a little underspecified. Its battery life is short and it's not the most attractive, either.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e review The ThinkPad X100e is a cheap, but very desirable laptop that bridges the gap between netbooks and CULV laptops.

Mesh Edge15 Gamer CS review Despite a uninspiring case and an imperfect keyboard, the Edge15's performance makes it a superb deal for mobile gamers on a budget.

Acer Aspire 5739G review An expensive, but otherwise good all-round laptop. The 5739G has great build quality, a funky design and even a decent set of speakers.

Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810TZ-413G25N review Acer's Aspire Timeline is a great ultraportable laptop – it's small, lightweight, has a comfortable keyboard and long battery life.

Sony Vaio VPC-EB1S0E/WI review A gorgeous design and a fast, new processor make the EB1S0E stand out, but the screen isn't as good as it could be.

Novatech V13 review If you can put up with its flaws, Novatech's V13 is a decent budget ultra-portable laptop but better-designed, better-value models are available.
