Acer Aspire 5745DG review
The 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 5745DG laptop offers an affordable way of getting into 3D gaming. A Blu-ray drive and faster graphics chip would be welcome though, helping you to take advantage of more 3D content. Read more

Acer Aspire 5942G review
The 15.6-inch Aspire 5942G desktop-replacement laptop offers impressively speedy performance and plenty of features, including a Blu-ray drive. Its screen and appearance fail to thrill, but you could easily pay much more for a machine with the 5942G's capabilities 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

Asus W2Vc review
A powerful, feature-rich laptop, the W2Vc offers impressive performance and a fairly attractive design. It's not the cheapest of laptops, or the most portable, but it's worth considering if you want a good all-rounder with a strong focus on multimedia Read more

Toshiba Satellite P770 review
Our configuration of the 17.3-inch Toshiba Satellite P770, the P770-109, is about as attractive as a bag of coal, but it offers decent all-round performance, and can handle a spot of gaming too. 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

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

The 15.6-inch MSI CX640 offers decent performance in a sturdy, if dull, chassis. If you're seeking a desktop-replacement laptop, it's worth considering. Read more

Samsung R60 review
The Samsung R60 is an excellent all-round desktop replacement and at under £500, it's a bargain. It looks great, with sleek, curvy piano-black casing. The touchpad includes a scroll area, making it easy to navigate long documents and Web pages Read more
