Asus A7CC-R054C review

The Asus A7CC-R054C is a brute of a laptop. This powerful desktop replacement offers good performance and also does well with games. An internal TV tuner is an added bonus and there are a vast selection of connectors if you've got plenty of kit you want to hook up 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

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

HP Pavilion dv9790ea review

If you're after a desktop replacement laptop that'll handle strenuous activity, the dv9790ea is more than fit enough for the job. It's powered by a fast 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9300, backed up by a generous 4GB of RAM, so it's no surprise that it breaks little sweat in terms of performance Read more

Dell Inspiron 15R review

The Dell Inspiron 15R's battery life isn't great, and its design is unlikely to set your heart aflame. But we were really impressed by the performance of this 15.6-inch laptop, given its price. Read more

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
