It lacks gaming prowess, but the 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 5471's good looks, impressive performance and long battery life make it a worthwhile budget buy. Read more

Toshiba Equium L40-17M review

The Toshiba Equium L40-17M is certainly a capable desktop replacement. Plus, if you're tightening your purse strings, it will fit the bill. Packing a decent spec laptop that will complete your office tasks into a low-cost package isn't an easy task, but it's one that this Toshiba has largely pulled off Read more

Lenovo 3000 N200 review

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

Mesh MSI M670-S2 review

It's got a snappy AMD processor, 1GB of RAM, a good 15.4-inch screen and Windows Vista Basic, all for under £500 -- if you're looking for a budget desktop-replacement laptop, the Mesh MSI M670-S2 ticks nearly all the boxes. Only a slightly awkward keyboard sets it back Read more

Toshiba Satellite Pro L40-12S review

The Toshiba Satellite Pro L40-12S is a surprisingly good-looking laptop for just £300 -- it looks three times more expensive. It punches above its weight too, and is excellent value for money. Extras such as built-in Wi-Fi and an internal DVD writer are added bonuses 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

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
