15-inch MacBook Pro review
The new 15-inch MacBook Pro is the first laptop we’ve seen to use Intel’s new version of its Centrino platform, codenamed Santa Rosa.

MacBook Pro 17-inch review
Apple’s 17-inch version of the Macbook Pro is – apart from the screen – essentially the same as the 15-inch model we looked at here.

MacBook Pro 15-inch review
Apple’s current upgrade cycle sees new computers appearing two-to-three months after the release of new Intel chips, so it’s no surprise to see the MacBook Pro gaining a dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Xtreme SL Quadro 2500M review
The Xtreme SL Quadro 2500M is enormous. It’s a 19-inch laptop, though you’d need to be The Rock to have a lap large enough to balance it on.

nw9440 review
If the 15.4-inch nw8440 mobile workstation – which was the top-rated model in our group test of laptops in Digit 101 – is too small for you, HP has released this 17-inch version.

Qosmio G30-163 review
Toshiba’s latest laptop is the first to pack an HD DVD drive. However, the Qosmio G30-163 is more than just an expensive toy for cash-flashing consumers.

MacBook Pro 17-inch review
Apple’s latest pro laptop isn’t just a larger version of the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro – it adds a faster processor and the option of a glossy X-Black-style screen.

Precision M90 review
The Precision M90 has a much chunkier shell than its M65 cousin, as it’s based on a completely different line of laptops – Dell's consumer-focussed Inspiron.

Inspiron 9400 review
Dell’s first laptop to offer Intel’s new Core Duo line of processors features the same chip as Apple’s MacBook Pro (left), but places it within a 17-inch case. As such models go, the Inspiron 9400 is small and light.

MacBook Pro 15.4-inch review
Apple’s first laptop since the move from Motorola to Intel processors isn’t the groundbreaking machine that many were expecting. If anything, the move has made the mobile Mac more ordinary, and the chip switch will put off anyone reliant on Adobe applications.

M50 review
Samsung describes the M50 as the ‘world’s thinnest and lightest 17-inch notebook’. At just under 3kg, the latter is completely true – but the M50 is only thin at the front, bulking out heavily towards the back.

MediaStudio Pro 8 review
The newly-released version 8 of Media Studio Pro adds features in an attempt to take on its old adversaries such as Premiere Pro, but it’s still happier with the needs of home users.

D900T-U review
"Laptop" and "notebook" are misleading words when it comes to describing the D900T-U. It’s too big and heavy to be whipped out at a moment’s notice – and it certainly gets too hot to put on your lap.
-
Katana 3D-9 review
This is the most powerful laptop we’ve ever seen – except you could hardly call it a laptop. It’s built around an NVidia Quadro FX Go 1400 graphics chip, making it a mobile workstation: certified for all of the major 3D and video editing software.

ACi Sovereign Pro review
