Toshiba Satellite L300 review

Toshiba has a strong reputation for being able to put together budget laptops that have the look and feel of more expensive machines. The L300 has a rock-bottom price tag of just £390, so we were intrigued to see whether Toshiba had managed once again to avoid the usual pitfalls of budget machines Read more

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

The Lenovo 3000 N200 is a sound choice if you're looking for a laptop to meet your business requirements. It performs well and its 15.4-inch screen is great for working. There are plenty of ports to connect to and a useful added extra is the fingerprint reader 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

Dell Studio 17 review

If you wouldn't be seen dead with an entry-level Inspiron and are feeling the credit crunch too much for an XPS, Dell has a new range for you, called Studio. The 17-inch model starts at a relatively bargainous £499, and boasts a slot-loading DVD drive, HDMI out and the usual vast range of options Read more
