Toshiba Satellite L650-12K review A decent budget laptop, with good performance, sturdy build quality and excellent battery life, but the stiff mouse buttons and slight colour problems mean it misses an award.
Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G review The 8943G has everything: great performance in both Windows and games, a Full HD display and Blu-ray drive. Even battery life is good.

Acer Aspire TimelineX 5820T review Fairly portable for its size, the TimelineX 5820T looks great and performs well, but it isn't one of the better TimelineX models we've seen.

Acer Aspire 5745PG review Poor software lets down some clever touchscreen technology in an otherwise decent mid-range laptop.

Acer Aspire 7741 review A large screen, great image quality and decent performance makes this laptop excellent value
£500
MSI FX600 review Blu-ray usually means paying a premium, but MSI may have found the right balance between performance and cost with the new FX600

Toshiba NB305-10F review Great design and build quality, but this refreshed model offers no real benefit over the original.

Fujitsu Lifebook S760 review An expensive business ultra-portable that's short on battery life but strong on performance.
