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

Samsung N150 review
One of the first netbooks to use the next-gen Atom N450 CPU, the 10-inch N150 offers fantastic battery life. Combined with its reflection-resistant matte screen, this makes it a good choice for road barbarians, even if it doesn't offer a massive performance improvement over preceding netbooks Read more

eMachines G420 review
The eMachines G420 offers a large, 17.1-inch screen for very little outlay, but the laptop's 1GB of RAM limits its multitasking capabilities. 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

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

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

Samsung R60 review
The Samsung R60 is an excellent all-round desktop replacement and at under £500, it's a bargain. It looks great, with sleek, curvy piano-black casing. The touchpad includes a scroll area, making it easy to navigate long documents and Web pages 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

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
