Acer Aspire 8943G review

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
