Compaq Presario V6700 Battery

The Gigabyte doesn't wear its heart on its sleeve. The exterior is finished in an understated palette of matte-grey plastics, and it's only once you tilt back the slim, sturdy-feeling lid that proceedings are enlivened by a keyboard surrounded with a plate of silver metal. Compared to the slick, stylish exteriors of cutting-edge Ultrabooks, the Gigabyte is less than enticing. That's not to say build quality is bad, though â€“ it's anything but. The 1.7kg chassis feels well put together, and although it measures a relatively dainty 23mm across its thickest point, there's barely any flex or give anywhere.The two sizable fan exhausts on each rear corner give a clue as to this laptop's capabilities. The quad-core 2.4GHz Core i7-4700HQ is normally more at home in 15in or 17in designs, and Gigabyte has partnered the powerhouse CPU with Nvidia's recently launched GeForce GTX 860M GPU, which is why it requires such a beefy cooling system.

There's even a modest amount of upgradability. Our review unit came with a single 8GB DDR3L SODIMM installed, leaving one RAM slot free, and a 128GB Lite-On mSATA SSD drive. Other models of the P34G v2 also have room for a secondary 2.5in HDD, but in this model there isn't enough room due to the larger battery.Alongside the fastest laptops and mobile workstations on the market, the Gigabyte P34G v2 can hold its head up high. In our Real World Benchmarks the P34G v2 scored 0.99, a whisker ahead of far larger laptops such as the 3kg MSI GE70 2PE Apache Pro and the Dell Precision M3800.The next version of Microsoft Office for Windows, Office 16, is scheduled for release in the second half of 2015, it has been confirmed.Julia White, GM of Office and Office 365 marketing, told delegates at Michrosoft's TechEd Europe that both the cilent and server versions would be made available at the same time, according to ZD Net's Mary Jo Foley.

If White's tentative schedule holds firm, this would put Office 16, as it's currently known, firmly into the far end of Microsoft's two-to-three year release schedule, with Office 2013 having been released in October 2012.It's worth noting that the software due to launch in autumn-winter 2015 is only expected to be for "traditional" Windows desktop and laptop computers. According to Foley, touch-first Office apps for Windows don't even appear to be in testing yet.Office for Android tablet is expected to launch in the next few weeks, eight months after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella confirmed the company was working on software for Google's mobile platform. There's no official word yet on whether or not this will be the case, however.Also expected before Office 16 for Windows, is a new version of Office for Mac. Pictures of what claimed to be the updated Outlook client for Mac surfaced online on Monday on Chinese website CN Beta, and, according to MacRumours, the software could be released as early as spring next year.

Microsoft is introducing three-finger gesture support to Windows 10, which will enable users minimise and restore windows, view multiple desktops and switch between windows using just their touchpad. See also: Windows 10 release date.Speaking at TechEd Europe, Microsoft's Joe Belfiore said: "In the past, touchpads on Windows have really been done very differently, because OEMs do them.""In Windows 10, we're adding support for power users in a touch-pad where multiple finger gestures ... can make you really efficient," he said.Gesture support Dragging three fingers down across the touchpad will minimise all windows, while making the opposite gesture will restore them.Swiping up again will display all open windows and desktops side-by-side in "Task View", and users can navigate between them in the usual single-finger and tap way. Swiping left and right, meanwhile, can replace the "ALT+TAB" function, allowing the user to move between windows.

"[We're] really focusing on smoothing out the power user experience [and] making all these things work consistently on a wide range of hardware," Belfiore said.If you've ever used Mac OS X with a Magic Trackpad or on a Laptop, this may all sound mighty familiar. Since 2010, Mac OS X has used three-finger gestures on its touchpad to enable users on OS 10.6.4 and higher to move between full-screen windows, and four fingers to switch between applications or bring up Exposé (now Mission Control). It also supports gesture control for Windows 7, XP and Vista in Boot Camp.Belfiore also showed off a significant improvement to Aero Snap. The window snapping feature, which was first introduced in Windows 7, now recognises when more than one monitor is in use. This means users can now snap windows to all the corners of individual displays, rather than just the extremities.

MSI's bombastically titled GE70 2PE Apache Pro serves up serious gaming power in a hefty 17.3in chassis. With a quad-core Core i7 processor taking the reins alongside one of Nvidia's latest GTX 800 Series GPUs and twin SSDs in RAID, the Apache Pro promises blindingly quick performance for £1,299 inc VAT. See also: The best laptops of 2014 It certainly looks like it means business. It's a foreboding piece of kit, measuring almost 4cm thick and weighing a lumpen 3kg, and the chassis feels seriously tough. The metal wristrests give no flex during typing, and metal extends all around the keyboard, giving the laptop's entire base a reassuring solidity. The lid is plastic, but combines rigidity and good looks with a luxurious, all-black, faux-brushed-metal finish.One of the Apache Pro's key assets is its Geforce GTX 860M dedicated graphics chip, which sits in the middle of Nvidia's new 800 Series range, and boasts the new, power-efficient Maxwell microarchitecture. In contrast to the previous Kepler architecture, the Maxwell generation distributes its CUDA cores into several separate blocks, each of which can be dynamically toggled on and off to minimise power usage. As a result, Nvidia claim that the new Maxwell GPUs deliver twice the performance per watt of their Kepler predecessors.

The GeForce GTX 860M finds itself in good company. Working alongside is a quad-core Core i7-4700HQ CPU supported by 16GB of DDR3 RAM, a pair of 128GB SSDs in a RAID0 array and a 1TB HDD. As you'd rightfully expect, it's a combination capable of blisteringly quick benchmark scores across the board. The pair of SSDs ensures lightning-quick boot-up and application-load times, and recorded sequential read and write speeds of 836MB/sec and 505MB/sec in the AS SSD benchmark. And it came as no surprise to see the Apache Pro breeze through our suite of Real World Benchmarks with an Overall score of 0.97. Gaming performance is equally impressive. The GeForce GTX 860M cruised through our Crysis benchmark â€“ run at 1,920 x 1,080 resolution and High detail settings â€“ with a silky-smooth average frame rate of 65fps. Even with Crysis cranked to its maximum Very High detail settings, the Apache Pro eased to a playable average of 42fps.

Such powerful hardware takes its toll elsewhere, however, and the MSI's battery life was mediocre. In our light-use battery test, with the screen set to 75cd/mÂ² it managed to survive for only 4hrs 21mins, and pushing the CPU flat out saw the GE70 2PE shut down after only 46mins.UPDATE 27/03/2015: Stocks of the Asus X552CL have finally sold out. If you can find one going for a song then it remains a solid budget laptop, but don't worry if you can't find any on sale - our Best Laptops of 2015 list has you covered.Asus knows how to build a brilliant cut-price laptop â€“ take a look at its 11.6in VivoBook X200CA and 10.1in Transformer Book T100 if you donâ€™t believe us. But its X552CL takes on the challenge of putting together a more powerful 15.6in system while still managing to keep down the cost. With a Core i5 processor, Nvidia graphics and a sensible range of features for £400, it looks like Asus may have nailed the formula.

This isnâ€™t a laptop to set the pulse racing: the X552CLâ€™s exterior is cast entirely in sombre, matte-black plastic. The only note of visual interest is a textured chain-link finish that stretches across the lid and wristrest, and a fake, brushed-metal effect on the keyboard panel. Itâ€™s inoffensive, though, and while the 2.27kg chassis doesnâ€™t ooze the rock-solid charm of pricier models, it feels well put together, with the base remaining firm despite its slim profile. If thereâ€™s a weak point, itâ€™s the plastic-covered lid, which flexes more than weâ€™d like: if youâ€™re tempted to carry the X552CL on your travels, consider investing in a padded laptop bag. Inside that unassuming exterior lurks a potent specification. While most sub-£500 laptops make do with Core i3 processors and integrated graphics, Asus has found room in the budget for an Ivy Bridge Core i5 CPU, 6GB of DDR3 RAM, a capacious 750GB hard disk and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 710M GPU. Itâ€™s a seriously capable combination, putting the Asus in pole position for application performance this month, with a score of 0.67 in our Real World Benchmarks. This represents more than enough power for everyday tasks, and the laptop should even stand up to challenging video-editing projects without slowing to a halt.
