The 18.4-inch Acer Aspire 8943G multimedia laptop is expensive, but its stunning range of features and impressive performance largely justify the hefty outlay. Read more

Samsung M70 review

It's not often we see something truly innovative in the laptop market, but this Samsung is extraordinary -- you can completely detach the enormous 19-inch screen and plug it into a separate stand. But although it redefines the term 'desktop replacement', its components and performance are decidedly last-gen Read more

Asus A7Tc review

Asus' A7Tc is the first product we've seen that makes full use of a Turion 64 X2 Mobile processor, in this case it's the 2GHz TL-60 chip. This component means double the processing power, allowing the laptop to handle a greater load and run many programs simultaneously. It's certainly not a looker, though Read more

HP HDX X18 review

It's expensive, the trackpad isn't great and its design is overly showy, but, apart from that, the 18-inch HDX X18 offers pretty much everything you could want in an entertainment laptop. Boasting a Blu-ray drive and 1080p display, it's a hugely powerful machine that offers a tonne of features Read more

Toshiba Qosmio X500 review

The configuration of the 18.4-inch Qosmio X500 laptop that we reviewed, the X500-116, is a beast of a machine. It's huge and fairly ugly, but it packs a powerful punch in terms of performance and features. Notably, its 1080p screen brings out all the beauty of Blu-ray movies Read more

Toshiba Qosmio G10-100 review

Back in the '80s we were dragging around laptops the size of desktops, so the Qosmio is something of a retro trip. However it's easy to understand why the Qosmio is so heavy: Toshiba has crowbarred a personal video recorder (PVR), DVD player, TV tuner and virtual surround sound system into a laptop case Read more

HP Envy 14-1195ea Beats Edition review

If you're after a stylish desktop-replacement machine, this is a cool twist on the Envy line of laptops. The trackpad is quite annoying though, and there's no Blu-ray player on board, so think carefully before throwing down your notes. Read more

Toshiba Qosmio G20 review

Although the G20's size and weight makes it impractical as a truly portable laptop, this wasn't what overwhelmingly disappointed us. Instead, it's the G20's glary screen that breaks the deal here. It's a huge distraction on an otherwise very capable PVR Read more

Acer Aspire 8920G preview hands-on

The Acer Aspire 8920G is a very promising machine, and one which may set standards in years to come. Coming in four versions, the desktop replacement has a full keyboard and a marvellous 18.4-inch display, mainly because it has a true 16:9, 1080p resolution Read more
