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

Medion Akoya S5610 review

We've already had a sneak peek at Intel's new Centrino 2 technology, but now we can finally see how it really performs thanks to this new laptop from Medion. With a large 15.4-inch widescreen display, full-sized keyboard and numerical keypad it could be a very capable desktop replacement at a budget price Read more

Mesh MSI PR600 review

With a big hard drive and good battery life, you'll certainly be comfortable. The Mesh MSI PR600 delivers both -- 160GB of space and an outstanding battery. Plus, its glossy screen makes for great colours. Get out from behind your PC, find a cosy spot and enjoy the display Read more

Mesh MSI M670-S2 review

It's got a snappy AMD processor, 1GB of RAM, a good 15.4-inch screen and Windows Vista Basic, all for under £500 -- if you're looking for a budget desktop-replacement laptop, the Mesh MSI M670-S2 ticks nearly all the boxes. Only a slightly awkward keyboard sets it back Read more

Toshiba Qosmio X500 review

The configuration of the 18.4-inch Qosmio X500 laptop that we reviewed, the X500-116, is a beast of a machine. It's huge and fairly ugly, but it packs a powerful punch in terms of performance and features. Notably, its 1080p screen brings out all the beauty of Blu-ray movies 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

Samsung R560 review

If you're seeking a desktop-replacement laptop within a limited budget, check out the 15-inch R560. Although no aspect of it is particularly outstanding, its good performance, decent range of features and attractive price mean it's a great package overall. It's also pleasant to use -- despite a reflective screen Read more
