Asus T91 review A touchscreen and small size and weight make the T91 an interesting netbook, but average battery life and a cramped keyboard let it down.
Acer Timeline 3810T review Not as light as more expensive ultra-portables, but twice as powerful as cheaper netbooks, its incredible battery life put this laptop in a class of its own.
£690
HP EliteBook 6930p review HP's EliteBook has good battery life, a comfortable keyboard and a long warranty, but it's expensive and has a tiny hard disk.
£910
Toshiba Tecra M10-10i review The Tecra is a well-designed laptop for business users; for everyone else, better value laptops are available.
£885
Asus U50VG review Not a terrible laptop when viewed on its own, but with no Blu-ray drive or decent gaming performance, the U50VG looks overpriced here.
Sony Vaio FW41E/H review Sony's generously equipped Vaio FW41E/H is a great laptop with something for everyone, including Blu-ray playback and a large hard disk.
£880
Acer Aspire 8930G-864G32Bn review A great entertainment laptop with a full HD screen and reasonable gaming performance, but it's outshone by Sony's Vaio FW41E/H.
£867
Sony Vaio NW11S/S review A funky design and great 3D performance make this a decent laptop, but it's let down by a slightly washed-out display and a fairly high price.
£749
Packard Bell EasyNote TR87 review A smart, well-made laptop, with a generous software bundle and useful features. Below average battery life is its only weakness.
Asus K50IN-SX025C review A great display, two-year warranty and decent battery life make the K50IN-SX025C an excellent choice.
£616
MSI VR705 review The 17in screen sets the VR705 apart. However, the mediocre keyboard and touchpad mean it's not the perfect all-rounder.
£508
Hi-Grade Notino W5900 review A gaudy lid design doesn't hide the budget features of this laptop, but it's well built with a great keyboard.
£495
Samsung R505 review Good build quality and generous hard disk capacity can't quite make up for poor performance and a higher price than PC Nextday's Versa.
