The Precision M6600 is a hefty investment and it won't win points for elegance. However, this is a solid and highly configurable mobile workstation that should perform well with a wide range of demanding workloads.
A bright 13.9-inch touchscreen with minimal bezels, Intel's latest 11th-generation processor and a good keyboard make this stylish laptop a pleasure to use.
Despite being astonishingly light, LG's 2021 Gram 17 has a tough (MIL-STD 810G-tested) chassis. The screen and internal specs are excellent, although battery life could be better.
The Portégé X30W-J is a sub-1kg convertible 13.3-inch laptop that functions well in tablet mode. The keyboard features large, easy-to-hit keys, but suffers from issues surrounding flex, key action and noise.
The updated ZenBook Pro should appeal to business users requiring a fast, powerful laptop that can act as a desktop-replacement system both in the office and on the road.
The ThinkPad X1 Yoga (4th Gen) is a slim but solidly built 360-degree convertible with support for a 4K screen and mobile broadband, plus a stylus with on-device housing and plenty of security features.
The new M1-based MacBook Air throws down the gauntlet for rival ultraportable laptops, offering speedy performance and outstanding two-day battery life.
Home and small business users requiring a well-designed mainstream notebook with excellent performance and reasonable battery life will like the desktop Pentium 4-based Inspiron 5100.
The 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro boosts both processor and graphics performance without affecting battery life, but remains expensive.
