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
£1229
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.
£580
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.
£700
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
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.
£599
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.
£500
Arbico Phenom 5550 QCS review The unlocked processor provides excellent performance, but the 19in monitor is small and the budget graphics card will struggle to play games.
Acer Aspire X3900 review Decent performance and a superb monitor in a tiny package. It's a good choice if gaming and expansion aren't priorities.
£587
Medion Akoya P6625 (MD97409) review With a dual-graphics setup, the P6625 can play games and achieves a reasonable battery life, but the screen's viewing angles are tight and its budget looks won't appeal to everyone.
£569
CyberPower Infinity i3 Apollo XT review The Intel Core i3 530 processor makes this PC faster than others that cost almost £200 more, but we recommend buying the base system only
