Toshiba Tecra R840 review A fantastic business machine that doesn’t sacrifice performance or functionality for portability or battery life
£1160
Rock Xtreme 685 review By placing gaming performance above everything else, the Xtreme 685 loses out to more well-rounded laptops from other manufacturers
Dell XPS 15z review Excellent 2D and 3D performance, and it looks stunning. If you want style as well as substance, the XPS 15z is almost perfect
£1199
Samsung NC110 review A well-built netbook with a great keyboard, but it suffers from the usual netbook problems: limited power and a low-resolution screen
Packard Bell EasyNote NS44-HR-033UK review Packard Bell may appear to concentrate more on style than substance, but the NS44 has healthy performance and features at a great price
£399
Samsung Chromebook series 5 review The Series 5 is a fantastic first outing for Chrome OS, but the web-based operating system isn’t ideal for home users
£400
Sony Vaio E-Series VPC-EJ1Z1E review Sony’s E-series makes more sense as a 15in laptop; the 17in model is underpowered and overpriced compared to the competition
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 review There are very few business-oriented ultra-portables with this much power and style, but the X1's battery life is disappointing
HP Envy 14 Beats Edition review It looks great and has solid performance, but we would expect the latest technology in a laptop that costs more than £1,000
