Toshiba Satellite A500 review
The 16-inch Satellite A500 caters well to those who have a limited budget but still want a machine that will let them watch movies, listen to music and play the odd game. Its screen could do with a higher resolution, but it feels bomb-proof, it's pretty speedy and it looks fairly attractive Read more

Acer Aspire 9802WKMi review
It's too large to be considered a traditional laptop, and it lacks the upgradeability of a desktop PC. However, like the well-received M2010, the Aspire 9802WKMi does have a place. It should appeal to users who want a Media Center computer with a large screen, plenty of power and moderate portability Read more

HP Pavilion dv7-4050ea review
The 17.3-inch HP Pavilion dv7-4050ea laptop offers a swell design and decent performance. It's a shame about its terrible battery life, but, all things considered, this is a decent machine. Read more

Acer Aspire 7720 review
The Acer Aspire 7720 is a hunking brute of a laptop, with great performance and number-crunching abilities. Added to this, the powerful machine has a large widescreen display, plenty of useful shortcut buttons and enough ports and connectors to rival a desktop machine Read more

MSI Turbobook GX600 review
Turbo buttons? They're old school, right? Not so, as the MSI Turbobook GX600 proves. This desktop replacement brings overclocking back into the mainstream with its red-hot turbo action, vastly improving the laptop's core performance. Are you ready to push the button? Read more

Samsung R720 review
With a stylish design and good all-round specification, the 17.3-inch R720 desktop-replacement laptop represents excellent value for money. Its 3D graphics performance isn't particularly brilliant, but it can still handle older titles, so casual gamers will probably be satisfied Read more

Fujitsu LifeBook E780 review
The 15.6-inch Fujitsu LifeBook E780 is a speedy performer, has good security features and impressive build quality, but its high price and poor screen and keyboard let it down somewhat. Read more

Samsung X50 review
Spreadsheet junkies will appreciate the X50's 15-inch screen, which is heavily anti-glared, making it ideal for work in a brightly lit office. It's easy to hook it up to projectors and televisions, but the lack of DVI make this an implausible machine for graphics professionals Read more
