Powerful, well price and a worthy addition to the A-List. The PacStar Core i7 is a PC we wouldn't be unhappy to take home and spend the weekend gaming on

Dell's previous 13.3in XPS - the M1330 - was a delightful portable, but the XPS 13 makes it look scruffy by comparison.

Looks and feels great, but a hefty price – once you’ve tweaked its specs – means that rivals offer better value

The Asus U6V simply can’t compete with the new breed of Centrino 2 ultraportables

It’s gorgeous, but it can’t match Sony’s own Z-Series for sheer ultraportable excellence.

Raw power and gaming prowess plus our a-listed monitor: this is a fantastic system, but the price is a deterrent.

Superb speakers, a whopping 640GB of storage and decent core components make this a solid choice

Superb battery life and features, but poor build quality and an uncomfortable keyboard scupper the Lifebook

A huge 18.4in widescreen, Blu-ray drive and a big hard disk make this a great entertainment laptop

HP’s Dragon combines fantastic power, comprehensive features and an innovative 20in screen design.

Small, funky and fast, the studio hybrid is the pick of the small PCs. You've read our first impressions, now see our full review of the Dell Studio Hybrid.

Sony’s new laptop sports a Blu-ray writer and one of Intel’s latest Penryn processors, but it’s overpriced.

Blu-Ray notebooks are the next battleground, and the good news is they're slowly getting cheaper. ASUS is staking a claim with this monstrously powerful behemoth.

A new way forward for ultraportables, combining an incredible low weight with unrivalled ergonomic excellence

Another big name brand PC gets a cutting-edge, all-format, high-def optical drive capable of playing Blu-ray and HD DVD.

A monster PC thanks to some very high-end components. But it’s noisy and expensive.

If you want a monstrously powerful laptop, look no further.

Fantastic design and highly-configurable power make this XPS useful, desirable and good value.

Some interesting technology, married with superb performance – and a huge price tag.

Very fast for some applications, but poor gaming performance and strong competition reduces its appeal.
