Samsung R610 review

Samsung R610 review

For a laptop with a Blu-ray drive, the attractive R610 is relatively cheap, and the aspect ratio of its 16-inch screen means you can watch high-definition films without any annoying black bars. It's also a decent multitasking machine, and its keyboard and connectivity options aren't bad either Read more

Toshiba Equium L40-17M review

The Toshiba Equium L40-17M is certainly a capable desktop replacement. Plus, if you're tightening your purse strings, it will fit the bill. Packing a decent spec laptop that will complete your office tasks into a low-cost package isn't an easy task, but it's one that this Toshiba has largely pulled off 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

HP Pavilion tx2050ea review

The Pavilion tx2050ea's swivelling touchscreen display means it can be used in tablet mode, making it a useful companion in cramped conditions. The screen's too reflective for our tastes and overall performance could be better, but the tx2050ea is still good value for money and you have to admire its flexibility Read more

Advent 9415 review

A low price tag doesn't have to mean you settle for obsolete technology or outdated components on your laptop. Enter the Advent 9415. With this desktop replacement, you can get reasonable specifications and good performance for a steal of a price Read more

eMachines G420 review

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

Samsung R720 review

With a stylish design and good all-round specification, the 17.3-inch R720 desktop-replacement laptop represents excellent value for money. Its 3D graphics performance isn't particularly brilliant, but it can still handle older titles, so casual gamers will probably be satisfied Read more

Dell XPS M1530 review

While most people don't think 'sexy' when they think of desktop replacements, Dell's turn towards a 'design-first' philosophy pays off with its XPS M1530. It's easily the best-looking 15-inch laptop in recent memory with a thin profile and light weight -- this laptop may change minds Read more

Asus UX30 review

Asus' designers clearly had Apple's MacBook Air in mind when they created the 13.3-inch UX30 thin-and-light laptop. It bears a steep price tag and its battery life could be better, but it's a gorgeous-looking specimen and its ultra-low-voltage processor makes it a strong performer too Read more
