Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xa 1526 review

If you don't want to sacrifice performance, the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xa 1526 is a good compromise between a desktop and a laptop. It will rival desktops for gaming and running video applications and has a spacious keyboard if you do need to do any work on it 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 Satellite P500 review

With its HD DVD format dead and buried, Toshiba has finally released a laptop with an optional Blu-ray drive. The huge, 18.4-inch screen doesn't have a 1080p resolution, but you can hook the Satellite P500 up to an external display via its HDMI port. This behemoth feels quick in everyday use and can handle most 3D games Read more

Toshiba Qosmio G30-163 review

Toshiba's G30 range comes in six different guises -- three with an HD DVD drive, three without. You'd be forgiven for thinking the £2,199 G30 is crammed to the hilt with the latest components, but apart from the HD DVD-ROM drive, it's shockingly under-equipped by modern standards Read more

Samsung G15 review

Samsung's G15 is a true desktop replacement that doesn't even have a battery and comes with plenty of storage space. The 17-inch monitor produces great colours and there are plenty of connections available, while the machine feels comfortable to use Read more

Samsung R560 review

If you're seeking a desktop-replacement laptop within a limited budget, check out the 15-inch R560. Although no aspect of it is particularly outstanding, its good performance, decent range of features and attractive price mean it's a great package overall. It's also pleasant to use -- despite a reflective screen 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
