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

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

Asus X53SR review

The Asus X53SR is a workhorse of a desktop replacement. It may be a low-cost laptop, but it's certainly not underpowered. In performance, it beats some machines costing twice as much and you'll even find it can turn its hand to gaming. For both work and entertainment purposes, it's spot on Read more

Samsung R520 review

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

Dell Studio XPS 16 review

The Studio XPS 16 -- Dell's first true 16:9, 16-inch laptop -- is a smart-looking machine and a powerful performer. Although an unimpressive battery life limits its portability, it includes a number of upscale extras, such as leather trim and backlit keyboard, and handles high-definition content and light gaming well 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

The Sony Vaio NR21M is a distinctively styled and affordable thin-and-light laptop that offers plenty of power for your office and day-to-day activities. While it's too heavy to carry around with you, you'll get decent battery life if you're moving from your desk to the couch Read more

Dell XPS M1530 review

While most people don't think 'sexy' when they think of desktop replacements, Dell's turn towards a 'design-first' philosophy pays off with its XPS M1530. It's easily the best-looking 15-inch laptop in recent memory with a thin profile and light weight -- this laptop may change minds Read more

Advent 9515 review

The Advent 9515 desktop replacement laptop does what it says on the tin -- and does it well. Using an AMD processor chip rather than Intel, the 9515 still has great application performance and its large hard drive and DVD writer will keep your documents safe Read more
