Apple's MacBook Air has kinda been the ultimate ultrabook since before Intel trademarked Ultrabook. The 2013 Air keeps the oft-praised body of last year's Air, but with Intel's next-gen Haswell processor stuck inside. The result? Battery life and performance to absolutely die for. Read More >>

Let's be clear: when Alienware say that the flagship of their new gaming laptop range is the 18, they're lying. The 18 is not a laptop. It is a leviathan, with two discrete graphics cards, 8GB of GPU RAM alone, and 4 -- count 'em, 4 -- SSDs. This is insanity. Read More >>
Microsoft is set to include a free copy of MS Office 2013 with some Windows 8 tablets, while RT users get themselves a free Outlook app for easier corporate email management. Microsoft's also planning to boost the security of the things by allowing users with the necessary hardware to require a fingerprint scan to unlock some folders. Read More >>
Sony will tell you a lot of things about the new Vaio Pro, which replaces the Vaio Z at the top of its laptop heap. It might say that it's exceedingly light, and made from carbon fibre Or it might say that it's got new Intel Haswell guts. But what it should really say is just this: It doesn't suck. And that's the biggest change to Sony laptops in years. Read More >>

Asus has already been experimenting with mixing Android and Windows in the same device with its bizarre but intriguing 18.5-inch Transformer All-in-One desktop, giant-Android-slab-thing. Now, it's taking the concept to its logical extreme with the new Transformer Book Trio, dual processor-weilding device that staking its claim to tablet, notebook, and desktop territory. Read More >>
Asus has been busy announcing a slew of new products at Computex in Taipei overnight and, while many of them are deeply unremarkable, a glass-coated ultrabook and updated Transformer Pad Infinity should be enough to pique your interest. Read More >>
Yep, this might be incredible. The new Razer blade is a 14-inch monster... ultrabook. With a discrete Nvidia GTX graphics card. Basically, this is the smallest, most badass gaming laptop-cum-ultrabook we've seen. Read More >>

I have to admit, I am totally none-the-wiser after watching this as to what Asus has in store for us at Computex this year. Something to do with parallel universes, but it has to be some sort of fancy tablet or laptop or possibly a transformer (maybe a two-screen machine?), surely? This truly bizarre teaser is so far out there it's unreal. What the hell is it? [YouTube] Read More >>
Microsoft's higher-end tablet dream will be available in the UK next week, with Microsoft giving the folding tab a May 23 launch date. The Surface Pro will cost a stonking great £719 for the 64GB Core i5 Windows 8 machine, rising to £799 if you'd prefer the 128GB unit. You might want to read our Surface Pro review before investing that sort of life-changing sum in a thing to use to look at Twitter. [Microsoft Store] Read More >>

So your trusty laptop is starting to show its age. No one can blame you for wanting a new one, but we've got just one piece of advice: WAIT. This is a horrible, horrible time to get a new rig. If you can hold out for just a few months, you're going to do a whole lot better for yourself. Read More >>

We've sort of gotten used to having to spend a disproportionate amount of money on nice-looking computers. Cheap laptops are not the same as premium laptops. We understand that. For once, though, inexpensive doesn't mean "junky plastic mess". Read More >>

Can we start by saying the Acer Aspire R7 is nuts, and that's totally great? Because it is; it's great that Acer's doing this weird new thing that doesn't exactly make sense, just to see if it works. Read More >>

We've waited long enough. After getting Microsoft's Surface RT late, we're finally going to get its bigger brother, the fully-fledged Surface Pro, but not until the end of May. Well, before the end of May, but that normally means May 31st. Is it too much future too soon? We can't wait to find out for ourselves. [Microsoft] Read More >>

The easiest way to keep your laptop running at peak efficiency is to just keep it cool and comfortable. Its processor can get pretty toasty crammed in that ultra-thin housing, so Thermaltake's created a miniature portable air conditioner called the GOrb II that promises to keep your system comfortably cool, even if you're not.
