Lenovo ThinkPad X220
If you are constantly on the go and plan to carry your computer with you, the Lenovo ThinkPad X220 has the features you are looking for. This laptop computer features a lightweight body, small display screen and fast performance. It includes a full feature set with a built-in webcam, microphone and several connectivity options. However, it lacks a large amount of memory.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 is designed for portability. This device features a 12.5-inch display screen, which is small compared to several similar devices but makes hauling the device around much easier. The display screen has 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, making the images crisp and sharp. Although this is not the highest pixel resolution we saw on a laptop, it is the same resolution you will find on many similar devices.
To further enhance portability, this laptop computer is lightweight, weighing a measly 2.9 pounds. You can carry this device with you on a constant basis without causing any burdens. It is 1.36 inches thick and 12 inches wide, which are small dimensions for a laptop computer.
One of the standout features on the Lenovo ThinkPad X220 is the fast performance this device provides. Using the Intel Core i5-2410M processor, you will experience speeds up to 2.3GHz. However, this processor also features Turbo Boost Technology that gives it a little extra performance. This laptop has Intel HD Graphics 3000 so your graphics run smoothly and are more enjoyable. Windows 7 Pro is the operating system included on this laptop.
You will find a full feature set on this laptop computer. A 720p HD webcam is included, along with dual microphones, which make video chatting and web conferencing possible on this laptop. This device offers several features ideal for video chats including a private chat mode. This eliminates background noise during a call. There is also a keyboard suppression feature that lowers the noise made from typing on the keys during video calls.
There are several ports and slots located on the laptop including three USB ports, an SD card reader, a 54mm express card reader and a combo port for both a microphone and a headphone. This device also has Hard Disk Drive Retention, which will secure the hard drive if the laptop falls. This security feature is a must-have to protect your hard drive and all the information you store within it.
The ThinkPad X220 doesn’t offer a large amount of memory. It features 2GB of RAM and 320GB of hard drive memory. This certainly is not the lowest amount of memory you will find on a laptop but is on the lower end of the spectrum. However, this computing device features up to eight hours of battery life on a single charge. This amount of battery life will differ depending on your use and configuration of the laptop but it should still be plenty of life to accomplish the tasks you do on your computer.
There is a one-year warranty offered with the Lenovo ThinkPad X220. If any questions or technical problems occur while using this device, you can contact a Lenovo customer service representative through email, phone or live chat support. There is a user forum available on the Lenovo website for additional assistance and feedback from other users. You can also download drivers and software from a section of the Lenovo website.

HP Pavilion dv6-6103sa
If we were awarding prizes for looks alone, the HP Pavilion dv6-6103sa would win hands down. It is certainly an eye-catching laptop, the brushed metal design giving the HP a look that wouldn’t be out of place in the living room, study or at work. It’s also a capable and versatile performer, boasting a strong set of specifications
Powered by AMD’s 1.6GHz A6-3140MX APU, the HP also utlises 6GB of RAM to register a score of 86 in our WorldBench 6 tests. Though comfortably beaten by laptops with Intel Core i3 or i5 processors, the HP isn’t exactly slow and will breeze through everyday tasks. Gamers will be satisfied with the inclusion of dual-graphics cards, both with 512MB of dedicated memory, which helped the HP to the best frame rate scores in FEAR of all the laptops we tested.
The screen does offer deep, rich colours but it also has an incredibly glossy finish, making reflections a problem. The sound quality of the HP is superior to that of any other in the group, with HP’s proprietary Beats Audio technology built in. All in all, it’s a great laptop entertainment-wise.
It’s also very good to work on – the keyboard is well spaced out with no keys touching, the Return, Backspace and Right shift button are all full size, and there is room for a numeric keypad to the side. The touchpad is large and is also backlit, meaning you can see where it is in dark environments, though it is also prone to picking up greasy finger marks.
There’s a generous 1TB of storage space – well in excess of any other laptop in this group test – and backup options are good too, with a multi-format DVD writer and two USB 3.0 ports, so you can take advantage of the faster data transfer times should you have a USB 3.0 compatible external hard drive. The battery life is decent, lasting five-and-a-quarter hours in our tests, and there is a fingerprint reader for additional security.

Alienware M11x (Core i7)
Alienware's M11x is an incredibly impressive laptop at a temptingly affordable price. About the only thing we can find fault with is the ridiculous 100Mb Ethernet port, and the inclusion of a SIM slot that does nothing. If these don't bother you, then this pint-sized yet potent laptop will likely make you happy for years to come.
The M11x has a deceptive amount of heft to it for an 11.6-inch laptop — in a size that's usually closer to the 1kg mark, it comes out as being double. Of course, being Alienware, this is because every pore is crammed with ridiculous power. This pint-sized portable powerhouse contains a Core i7 for goodness' sake.
The M11x carries the fine tradition of Alienware's distinctive style, this time in attractive matte black with harsh, sci-fi/military-style angles. Ah, yes, and almost everything lights up, from the Alienware logotype, alien head that doubles as a power button and status indicators under the monitor, to the vent-shaped headlights on the lip, to the much more useful illuminated keyboard. You can change the colour of all of them too through the AlienFX software, either to whatever colour you like, or off if you find them distracting.
The 1366x768, glossy 11.6-inch screen is wonderful to use, and the speakers sound better than most 15.6-inch laptops, with beefy bass, excellent volume and good clarity.
As an enthusiast laptop, ports are a little strange compared to the mainstream: the M11x features both HDMI and DisplayPort out, for example, with nary a VGA port in sight. Three USB ports are supplied (although oddly the integrated eSATA port is not here), dual headphone jacks are present along with a microphone jack (which can be reassigned for 5.1 audio), FireWire port, SD card reader, 100Mb Ethernet port and, strangely, an externally facing SIM card slot; however, no software dialler was bundled on our particular sample nor was a WWAN card available as an option. The 100Mb Ethernet port is particularly a

The 100Mb Ethernet port is particularly a disappointment — with the 7200rpm hard drive included and the beefy processor, surely it'd have no trouble keeping up with a Gigabit connection.
