Acer Aspire 5552 review

The 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 5552 is one of the cheapest laptops around, so its relatively decent performance and sturdy construction come as a very pleasant surprise. Read more

eMachines G420 review

The eMachines G420 offers a large, 17.1-inch screen for very little outlay, but the laptop's 1GB of RAM limits its multitasking capabilities. 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

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

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

Advent 6441 review

The 6441 is commendably cheap for a laptop with a Blu-ray drive and a 17-inch screen. But, with a poor-quality keyboard and trackpad, and a relatively slow processor and graphics, it's hard to avoid the feeling that Advent compromised on quality in pursuit of a low price tag Read more

Asus F3E AP073C review

The Asus F3E AP073C laptop has impressive performance for the price you're paying. You get a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium and the machine has plenty of ports. A good all-rounder, it's got a good quality 15-inch display and isn't too bulky to carry around Read more
