Toshiba Satellite Pro C660 review

While the 15.6-inch Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-17J is cheap, its limited range of ports, pedestrian performance and uninspiring build quality mean this laptop doesn't really offer good value for money. Read more

HP G62 review

The version of the 15.6-inch HP G62 that we saw, the G62-450SA, has its plus points, but, overall, it's a fairly average laptop both in terms of performance and design. You can get similar machines for slightly less cash. Read more

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

Lenovo Essential B570 review

Offering a good-looking design and far better performance than you might expect for the price, the 15.6-inch Lenovo Essential B570 is one of the best cheap laptops on the market. Read more

Acer Aspire 5336 review

The 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 5336 laptop is as cheap as chips. Although its performance is hardly top-drawer, it's a bargain for those with modest computing needs. Read more

Acer Ferrari One review

There's no denying that the Ferrari One is the best netbook so far, offering a larger-than-usual, 11.6-inch screen, speedy performance, and a truly excellent keyboard. If you can live with a lid that may cause people to question the length of your reproductive appendage, you won't be disappointed Read more

Samsung R730 review

The 17.3-inch R730 desktop-replacement laptop is big, red and cheap -- and we like it. You won't get mind-melting performance from it, but it's an attractive and dependable day-to-day machine that will serve well for both business and pleasure purposes Read more

MSI CX600 review

The 16-inch CX600 offers superb value for money, with a nippy processor, a gaming-capable graphics card and plenty of memory. It's not particularly attractive and its lack of an HDMI output is a real shame, but, at this price, this machine is very difficult to ignore Read more
