Fujitsu Lifebook P770 review Fujitsu have crammed a wondrous number of features into this small wonder, but poor build quality and a cramped keyboard let it down, and it's far too expensive
£1868
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
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
Asus K52JC review The Asus K52JC is a well-equipped laptop, but it's overpriced at £700.
£700

£653
Acer Aspire 5551 review The Acer Aspire 5551 is an attractive laptop that's comfortable to use, but it's not especially fast and the screen is average.
£600
Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15in review The ThinkPad Edge has good performance and battery life but a disappointing screen and smallish hard disk.
£662
Mesh Dynamo 16-RG review The Mesh Dynamo is a powerful laptop, but there are better-value, better-designed alternatives available
