Acer Aspire 5536 review

Proving that desktop-replacement laptops needn't be the size of a headstone, the 15.6-inch Aspire 5536 is a decent machine. Its trackpad is irritating and its speakers aren't much cop, but it offers a full-size, comfortable keyboard, bright screen and good looks for an affordable price 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

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

Lenovo 3000 N200 review

The Lenovo 3000 N200 is a sound choice if you're looking for a laptop to meet your business requirements. It performs well and its 15.4-inch screen is great for working. There are plenty of ports to connect to and a useful added extra is the fingerprint reader Read more

Acer Aspire 3693WLWi review

Acer has built its reputation on making laptops that look stylish, but don't cost the earth -- the Aspire 3693WLMi is a strong example, with an appealing design and a decent specification for under £350, an amazing bargain Read more

Toshiba NB100 review

The 8.9-inch NB100's internal components are fairly standard for a netbook, but it boasts a professional-looking design and a screen that benefits from Toshiba's TruBrite technology, offering richer and more vivid colours than competitors. While the keyboard is cramped, battery life is impressive Read more

Samsung RV510 review

The 15.6-inch Samsung RV510 certainly has its good points, including an excellent keyboard and vibrant screen, but its sluggish processor means it's outclassed by similarly priced rivals. Read more
