This section includes our guides and reviews on the available full-size laptops with 15.6-inch screens, or the larger 16-inch and 17-inch models. Most of the units covered in here are still fairly compact and portable, but more powerful than the standard ultrabooks. We also cover the available high-tier multimedia notebooks, the available full-size laptops with convertible screens and a large selection of gaming notebooks with powerful hardware, dedicated graphics, excellent screens, and specific designs and particularities.
I’ve always preferred more portable laptops and not so much the bigger beefier ones out there. Alienware has had a warm place in my heart though, especially since I was a longtime owner of the m11x. Of course the m11x was still considered very...

Hi everyone, Mike here and this is my review of the Asus G551JM laptop. It’s a 15.6 inch laptop, member of Asus’s ROG line of gaming machines. However, Asus offers a couple of different G551 versions across the world. The one we have here...
It’s been quiet here lately but I haven’t been slackening, as I tested a few new laptops for our other website, TLBHD.com. Among them, the three mentioned in this post’s title, the Asus N551JK multimedia laptop, an update of the popular N550 series, the...
For the brief time I used the GS60(FHD) earlier this year, I was very impressed. It fell a little short of what I was looking for though, and comparing it directly to a Razer Blade, I decided it wasn’t what I was looking for....
In this post we’re going to talk about the Asus G771 series. The name suggests that it is, first of all, a 17 inch laptop, and then, a gaming machine, member of Asus’s G line (also known as Republic of Gamers). In reality though,...
There’s a growing demand for high-end portable multimedia laptops and manufacturers struggle to get their best in front of potential buyers. The “portable” aspect is the real problem here, as a multimedia laptop needs to be fast, but cramming powerful hardware inside a thin...

Hey everyone, this is just a quick update to my extended list of ultrabooks worth buying and I’ve put it together as many of you were asking for a curated list of all the Haswell ultrabooks available right now or soon to be launched....
While 15 inch ultrabooks are still a rare commodity these days, more and more potential buyers are interested in this class of portable machines, as they offer the power and the features required by most everyday activities, while losing the bulk. The Asus Vivobook...
A while ago I’ve tested the Vaio T13 and in the meantime Sony has two more ultraportables on the market, the T14, which comes with a 14 inch screen, and the T15, with a 15.5 inch screen. This way, if you were after a...
Not even 12 months have passed since the first ultrabooks hit the stores. And while those early models had their issues, they cleared the way for the things to come: a myriad of thin and light laptops, some of them very very good. The...
The ultrabook “branch” of portable computers is a relatively young one, but in the year since we saw the first ever ultrabook released, the niche has evolved and changed significantly. Not only are the new ultrabooks snappier and more elegant than the ones from...
