The 15.6-inch R520 desktop-replacement laptop is well worth a look if you're seeking a budget machine primarily intended for handling productivity tasks at home. Its graphics capability could be better, but it offers decent overall performance, a great keyboard and good battery life Read more

Samsung R720 review

With a stylish design and good all-round specification, the 17.3-inch R720 desktop-replacement laptop represents excellent value for money. Its 3D graphics performance isn't particularly brilliant, but it can still handle older titles, so casual gamers will probably be satisfied Read more

MSI X600 review

If you like ostentatious laptops, the 15.6-inch X600 probably isn't for you. This thin-and-light laptop is about as conspicuous as a stealth bomber, but it's a gorgeous specimen nonetheless, and its ultra-low-voltage CPU delivers surprisingly good performance Read more

Toshiba Satellite L550-113 review

Few heads will be turned by the drab design of the 17.3-inch Satellite L550-113 desktop-replacement laptop, but it's a very capable machine that represents great value for money. Its one relative weak spot is 3D gaming, but you'll be hard-pressed to find better performance at this size and price Read more

Advent Altro review

The 13.3-inch Altro is an unashamed attempt to emulate the MacBook Air. Considering it's almost half the price, it doesn't do too bad a job. Offering 3GB of RAM, strong wireless capabilities and a good keyboard, it's worth a look for those after a relatively cheap thin-and-light laptop Read more

MSI X340 review

If you think the MacBook Air is too expensive and netbooks are too small, the 13-inch, super-light, super-thin X340 will be worth investigating. The keyboard and battery life aren't overly impressive, but it’s got good connectivity and its looks will certainly get you drooling Read more

Samsung R610 review

For a laptop with a Blu-ray drive, the attractive R610 is relatively cheap, and the aspect ratio of its 16-inch screen means you can watch high-definition films without any annoying black bars. It's also a decent multitasking machine, and its keyboard and connectivity options aren't bad either Read more

Samsung R560 review

If you're seeking a desktop-replacement laptop within a limited budget, check out the 15-inch R560. Although no aspect of it is particularly outstanding, its good performance, decent range of features and attractive price mean it's a great package overall. It's also pleasant to use -- despite a reflective screen Read more

HP Pavilion tx2050ea review

The Pavilion tx2050ea's swivelling touchscreen display means it can be used in tablet mode, making it a useful companion in cramped conditions. The screen's too reflective for our tastes and overall performance could be better, but the tx2050ea is still good value for money and you have to admire its flexibility Read more

Samsung Q310 review

The Q310 is almost identical to its predecessor, the Q210, with the only noticeable differences being the bigger display, extra 1GB of RAM and a slight change in port placement. It's also kept the glossy black finish, which unfortunately is smudge-prone -- so is it worth the upgrade to a more expensive machine? Read more
