Lenovo Essential G570 review

The 15.6-inch Lenovo Essential G570's boring design could instantly send the most wired of coffee addicts to sleep, but this laptop does pack a powerful punch for a very reasonable price. Read more

The V570 offers good performance and a classy design for a modest outlay. If you're in the market for an affordable laptop for Web surfing, emailing and office stuff, it's definitely worth looking at. Read more

Acer Aspire 5552 review

The 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 5552 is one of the cheapest laptops around, so its relatively decent performance and sturdy construction come as a very pleasant surprise. Read more
