Packed with features, only its value for money lets it escape without an award this month

The m15x is another out-of-this-world laptop design from Alienware. Is it onto something, or just on another planet?

The design is impeccable, the build superb and the screen extraordinary, but the price is a huge barrier. We ponder the icon that is the Macbook Pro 17in

A beautifully designed, powerful system that almost no-one will be able to justify buying. If your IT department can find the budget to put a new Mac Pro on your desktop, you're lucky indeed

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

Apple has given its MacBook Pro a thorough makeover but, for all its charm, it’s still overpriced.

A new design and a fantastic new graphics chip, but this latest offering is as flawed and overpriced as ever.

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

Sony’s Z-Series is an ultraportable to aspire to, even if there are a couple of areas where it could improve.

Fantastic 3D performance makes the M1730 ideal for gamers – but only those with capacious wallets.

Intriguing styling makes this near-silent media-centre PC stand out, but it has its foibles

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

Classy looks and light weight make for a fine ultraportable, but it’s got some tough competition.

A stylish all-in-one media centre that effortlessly handles all tasks thrown at it. But it’s disgracefully priced.

This impressive ultraportable fills a narrow but significant niche between the MacBook Air and Lenovo X300

This notebook has been designed with classic Sony style: rounded edges, hidden IO inputs and a sleek widescreen footprint. From a connectivity point of view, this 'book has it all, boasting front-mounted Memory Stick Pro port, iLink 4-pin FireWire port and three USB ports.
