Acer Travelmate 8204WLMi review
We're not joking. Acer has sped this Core Duo laptop to market, and it's the real thing: portable, with excellent battery life and it's blisteringly quick. It may not be the epitome of style, and dedicated gaming laptops may have better graphics cards, but for under £2,000, this is a fantastic bargain Read more

Toshiba Satellite L550-113 review
Few heads will be turned by the drab design of the 17.3-inch Satellite L550-113 desktop-replacement laptop, but it's a very capable machine that represents great value for money. Its one relative weak spot is 3D gaming, but you'll be hard-pressed to find better performance at this size and price Read more

Acer Ferrari 5000 review
This is a premium laptop with an AMD (also a Ferrari sponsor) processor -- the Ferrari brand pushes the performance angle, which is a useful excuse to push up the price. That demands a high specification, so Acer has loaded it with features, including a high-resolution display, loads of memory and decent graphics Read more

Acer TravelMate 8215WLMi review
This is a high-powered media-centric laptop with a heavy-duty 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and that ultimate AV accessory -- a Blu-ray Disc drive, which lets you watch high-definition movies. This hi-def add-on is an extra £300, however -- is it worth it? Read more

HP HDX X18 review
It's expensive, the trackpad isn't great and its design is overly showy, but, apart from that, the 18-inch HDX X18 offers pretty much everything you could want in an entertainment laptop. Boasting a Blu-ray drive and 1080p display, it's a hugely powerful machine that offers a tonne of features Read more
