Novatech V13 review
Laptops Ultraportable laptops

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.

Mesh Edge17 Inspire CS review
Laptops

Poor build quality and a stingy helping of RAM undermine the Edge17's advantage in having a slightly larger screen, and the screen itself is patchy and dark.

ViewSonic ViewBook Pro review
Laptops Ultraportable laptops

Viewsonic's ViewBook Pro has a good quality display and an ExpressCard slot, but its flawed touchpad and relatively short battery life count against it.

Dell's Inspiron 11z is good value, but some poor design choices means it just misses out on an award.

MSI's X600 is a light and relatively powerful laptop, but its battery life is comparatively short and it has a mediocre screen and keyboard.

HP Pavillion dv7-3020ea
HP Pavillion dv7-3020ea review
Laptops

A classy, powerful laptop with a Blu-ray player and a large screen, it's let down by the poor backlight which results in dull colours.

Acer Aspire One 532h
Acer Aspire One 532h review
Laptops

The Acer Aspire One 532h is a decent netbook in isolation and has a pretty good screen, but it's too expensive and is outperformed by cheaper alternatives.

Asus Eee PC 1005PE
Asus Eee PC 1005PE review
Laptops

The 1005PE's new Atom N450 processor is certainly a clever bit of engineering, but gives no real benefit here compared to the previous generation of processors.

Toshiba Satellite L500-19Z
Toshiba Satellite L500-19Z review
Laptops

The L500's screen is impressive and the numeric keypad's large keys would suit number-crunchers, but there are better value alternatives.
