Reviews

HP Envy 15 (1015TX)

HP's new Envy 15 packs high-powered components into a svelte 15-inch body. The result is an upscale status symbol that still shows a few first-generation rough edges.
HP Envy 13

HP's upscale Envy 13 looks and feels like an expensive status symbol, with performance and features that impress us — but its high price makes it a tough sell over the similar-looking MacBook Pro.
HP Photosmart Plus B209

The Photosmart Plus has a great touchscreen interface, but average printing quality at best.
HP ProBook 5310m

If you are after a tiny laptop and are certain you won't ever be playing any graphically intensive games on it, you'd be hard pressed to find a better machine than HP's 5310m.
Dell Inspiron One 19

Following the trend of all-in-one desktops, the Dell Inspiron One 19 is aimed at the budget market and clearly shows in both design and performance.
HP Pavilion dm3

With a feature set that is aimed at maximising battery life and portability, the dm3-1011tu is a stylish and competent ultraportable for those constantly on the go.
HP ProBook 4310s

If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.
HP 2159m

HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class — however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.
