Sony Vaio F series (VPCF13M0E/B) review

Speedy performance, an integrated Blu-ray drive and a slick design make the 16.4-inch Sony Vaio VPCF13M0E/B a desirable multimedia laptop. It's just a shame the screen isn't better. Read more

Sony Vaio AW series (VGN-AW41MF/H) review

The 18.4-inch Vaio VGN-AW41MF/H desktop-replacement laptop is big, beefy and beautiful. A crisper screen would help it do full justice to 1080p video played back via its Blu-ray drive, but that's a minor flaw in one of the fastest Core 2 Duo laptops we've seen 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

HP 530 review

At a bargain price, you get more than you're paying for with the HP 530. The budget machine performs well and looks twice as expensive than it actually is. Added to this, it has a 15.4-inch widescreen display and built-in Wi-Fi and is perfect for anyone with more modest computing aspirations Read more

Sony Vaio VGN-AW31M/H review

With an 18.4-inch screen, this is one serious slab of Sony technology -- and it has a price tag to match. Understated styling and a battery worth the name aren't normally to be found in desktop-replacement laptops, but the Sony Vaio AW31M/H is a versatile machine capable of more than playing Blu-ray movies Read more

HP Compaq 6720s review

The HP Compaq 6720s is a business-oriented laptop on the budget end of the market. While it has a moderate specification, what this laptop does have works well. If you're spending time in the office rather than out on the road, this competent performer could be your answer Read more

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

Dell Studio 17 review

If you wouldn't be seen dead with an entry-level Inspiron and are feeling the credit crunch too much for an XPS, Dell has a new range for you, called Studio. The 17-inch model starts at a relatively bargainous £499, and boasts a slot-loading DVD drive, HDMI out and the usual vast range of options Read more

Acer TravelMate 6592 review

A very well-built laptop, the Acer TravelMate 6592 is a solid desktop replacement. It boasts an ergonomically curved keyboard for comfy typing. A reasonably powerful spec, good connectivity and acceptable battery life round out a well-priced package Read more

Dell Studio 15 review

Sitting beween the budget Inspiron and high-end XPS, Dell's new Studio line is personified by the Dell Studio 15. This desktop replacement is a colourful and customisable option for those looking for a good mix of features and reasonable performance without paying the Earth Read more
