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

ZTE Racer review

Great battery life and price make this budget Android handset seem like excellent value, but the poor screen and camera are a let-down

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.

Sony Vaio Y21S1E/L review

Decent performance and battery life make the Y21 a great travelling companion, but you pay a huge premium for the brand. Ultimately, there are better-value alternatives.

Dell Alienware M11x review

A portable laptop that can play Crysis for almost two hours on battery power is almost unbelievable, but it's tragically let down by the poor screen

Asus U35JC review

Palicomp Core i3 Blast 530OC-22Plus review

Astonishingly fast, the Core i3 Blast 530OC-22Plus has a decent graphics card and lots of room for expansion. Buy the base unit without the dismal monitor, though.

CCL Ace Integral System review

A decent all-rounder, but it's not as good value as CyberPower's Infinity i3 Apollo XT if you're not interested in gaming.
