Dell Inspiron 15z - £800/US$900/AU$1,500

Balancing price, performance and build, the Dell Inspiron 15z is a Windows 8 update to an older model but doesn't come with a touchscreen as standard, though one can be added. Easily upgradeable, it comes with a choice of Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors and the option to add extra RAM and a dedicated graphics chip. Build quality on the 15.6-inch device is sturdy, and features a backlit keyboard with good travel and a responsive trackpad, a DVD drive, four USB ports, an HDMI port, Ethernet and SD card reader, though the screen isn't Full HD. Battery life isn't great, but general performance is reasonable, making it a good all-rounder for the family. We'd splash out on the touchscreen upgrade though.

Lenovo ThinkPad Twist - £770/US$750/AU$800

Unlike traditional clamshell designed laptops, the Lenovo ThinkPad Twist's screen - as you may have guessed - twists away from its keyboard, transforming into a tablet. The twisting mechanism is elegant but sturdy, holding the screen at the angle you want away from the keyboard and twisting back into laptop position with a nice clunk. It's insides contain a dual-core Intel Core i5 processor at 1.7GHz, HD 4000 integrated graphics, 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. Gorilla Glass protects the 12.5-inch touchscreen, which works well with Windows 8 when you don't fancy using the keyboard, or when you want to use the device as a tablet.
