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

Acer brings 3D to the masses with a 3D screen on a mainstream laptop

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

The cheapest way to get OS X, but it has all of the MacBook Pro’s shortcomings and more of its own

A stunning piece of design matched with excellent battery life, but with an Atom inside the price is surely too high

Since we saw the HP Mini for our huge netbook roundup in October, a new 6-cell battery has been released.

So, the last big name has fallen. HP gave out in April 2008, and both Dell and Toshiba's resistance crumbled by the autumn. But it's taken Sony until the middle of 2009 to produce what it confesses to be a netbook, the VAIO Mini W Series.

As one of Australia's few locally designed netbooks, the Kogan Agora lives up to some lofty netbook ideals, but it’s sadly ho-hum in too many aspects to be seen as a real netbook contender.

The HP Pavilion s5180a punches above its weight and provides a welcoming entry point for a starter or low-end upgrade system.

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 very likeable all-in-one – albeit limited in its usefulness beyond basic functions. Read our review of Shuttle's new all-in-one X50

A powerful and well-equipped touchscreen PC, but is Dell's all-in-one really the future of the home desktop? Read our full review

Stunning design goes hand in hand with fine usability, but the non-replaceable battery and high price count against the Eee PC 1008HA Seashell

It's very, very thin, and very light. MSI’s X340 somehow manages to be sleek, sexy and undesirable all at the same time.

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

Looks, features, value: this is the first nettop we’ve seen to genuinely appeal in all the key areas

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

Smells like green spirit, and offers performance at a budget price. The ASUS F6V Green is a laptop with something a little different

More than just a new coat of paint, the new Wind adds mobility with 3G. While the design and features don't look as cutting edge as they once did, this is still a great netbook

A couple of nifty gimmicks and an extended warranty help give this netbook the boost that its ergonomics don’t.
