Best Laptop

An attractive, premium ultraportable at a not so premium price, Sony's VAIO SB nonetheless manages to pack a serious amount of power under its hood, including dedicated graphics for those looking to do a bit of light gaming. It's also one of the few 13.3in machines on the market to pack an optional Blu-ray drive, making it a good entertainment all-rounder. Combined with a seamless aluminium keyboard surround, backlit keyboard and good usability, it's one of the best choices for just over £700 – if you can cope with its noisiness under load.
