  • This laptop is an excellent update of the previous 14-inch Swift 3s. It's a slightly more expensive product, but at the same time it fixes many of their issues and compromises on very few aspects. The compact form-factor, the excellent build quality, the...

  • Barebones in terms of features
  • Acer's budget detachable offers an entry-level route into the 2-in-1 market, with a capable performance and fairly decent battery life. Unfortunately, with no one stand-out feature and a barebones feature set, its lower price is the only thing going fo...

  • Abstract:  The Dell XPS 13 is an excellent ultraportable laptop, the best 13-inch Windows model going for many. Dell hasn't aimed for a single superlative feature, a potential gimmick. Its footprint is smaller than the competition, but it's thicker. Its screen resol...

  • This is a low-power 2-in-1 Windows device that offers great value for money. Perfect for anyone that needs the flexibility of both devices but is on a limited budget. It copes well with basic computing tasks but struggles with gaming. The battery won't ma...

  • The Acer Swift 3 isn't quite the ultra-bargain the last the last model in this series was. However, it's still a cracker of a deal when in numerous respects it can match laptops hundreds of pounds more expensive.While the screen could be brighter, battery...
