Acer Aspire 5536 review

Acer Aspire 5536 review

Proving that desktop-replacement laptops needn't be the size of a headstone, the 15.6-inch Aspire 5536 is a decent machine. Its trackpad is irritating and its speakers aren't much cop, but it offers a full-size, comfortable keyboard, bright screen and good looks for an affordable price Read more

Acer Aspire 6530 review

The configuration of the 16-inch Acer Aspire 6530 desktop-replacement laptop that we tested, the 6530-623G25Mn, is a stylish beast. While its AMD processor can't quite match Intel's offerings, it's a good all-rounder nevertheless, and it comes at a reasonable price too Read more

Toshiba Satellite L350 review

The 17-inch laptops in Toshiba's Satellite L350 series are a decent choice if you lack the space for a desktop PC. They're not particularly attractive or suited to gaming, but, considering their price, they make precious few compromises when it comes to usability Read more

Lenovo IdeaPad S12 review

With a great full-size keyboard and bright, crisp 12-inch screen, the IdeaPad S12 combines the look and feel of a laptop with the performance and price of a netbook. We'd like to see it sporting a more powerful processor but it offers a good compromise between the two categories Read more

Acer Aspire One 751 review

It may not be the speediest performer in the netbook arena, but the Aspire One 751 has plenty of other things going for it, including its stunning high-resolution, 11.6-inch screen and beautifully slim design. The excellent keyboard and trackpad are the icing on the cake Read more

Toshiba NB100 review

The 8.9-inch NB100's internal components are fairly standard for a netbook, but it boasts a professional-looking design and a screen that benefits from Toshiba's TruBrite technology, offering richer and more vivid colours than competitors. While the keyboard is cramped, battery life is impressive Read more

Samsung NC20 review

Unlike the majority of its Intel Atom-based rivals, the 12.1-inch NC20 netbook is based on a Via Nano CPU and offers significantly better performance as a result. It also has excellent battery life, although its high-resolution screen is too reflective for our liking. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic netbook Read more

Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 review

The attractive Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 series of desktop-replacement laptops benefits from a sturdy design and excellent keyboard. Various flavours are available for users with different demands, but all versions are weighty and have low battery life, detracting from their portability Read more

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 review

Dell pushes the netbook envelope to the limit with the Mini 12, a 12-inch ultraportable laptop that uses low-power components and open-source software to reduce costs. It's thin, light and simple, but it's underpowered and could do with a better battery Read more

HP Compaq Presario CQ70-116 review

The CQ70-116 is a sturdy, minimalist, desktop-replacement laptop with a 17-inch screen and a remarkably low price tag. A slow processor and poor graphics mean this isn't a laptop for gamers, but those seeking a general-purpose machine will find that the CQ70-116 delivers the goods Read more
