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

Acer Aspire 9802WKMi review

It's too large to be considered a traditional laptop, and it lacks the upgradeability of a desktop PC. However, like the well-received M2010, the Aspire 9802WKMi does have a place. It should appeal to users who want a Media Center computer with a large screen, plenty of power and moderate portability Read more

MSI Turbobook GX600 review

Turbo buttons? They're old school, right? Not so, as the MSI Turbobook GX600 proves. This desktop replacement brings overclocking back into the mainstream with its red-hot turbo action, vastly improving the laptop's core performance. Are you ready to push the button? Read more

Toshiba Satellite L650 review

The 15.6-inch Satellite L650-12Q may be cheap, but it offers plenty of reasons to be cheerful. It looks good, it's well built, and it'll handle with aplomb pretty much anything you throw at it. As long as you don't mind its limited connectivity options, this machine will put a smile on your Chevy Chase 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

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 3540 review

The Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 3540 is a very stylish Centrino 2 desktop replacement laptop with excellent wireless connectivity, an optional Blu-ray drive and a glossy 15.4-inch display. For a well-specced multimedia laptop, it's a good buy for under £700 Read more

If you're after a desktop replacement, the Sony Vaio FZ series looks smart, has a crisp, clear screen and is equipped with a 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of RAM, meaning it can process image and video files without effort Read more

Sony Vaio S series (VPCS11V9E/B) review

The 13.3-inch Vaio S-series VPCS11V9E/B laptop is a respectable replacement for a desktop PC. Its battery life isn't particularly inspiring, but it compensates for this with its strong performance, comfortable keyboard, and handy integrated 3G modem, for go-anywhere Internet access Read more

Panasonic Toughbook CF-W7 review

You don't have to be a builder or work in the desert to own a Panasonic Toughbook CF-W7, but it won't hurt for you to be extremely clumsy. This laptop can withstand considerable crushing forces, is stomp-proof, spill-proof and drop-proof. See if it'll survive the road warrior in you Read more
