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

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 One 751 review

It may not be the speediest performer in the netbook arena, but the Aspire One 751 has plenty of other things going for it, including its stunning high-resolution, 11.6-inch screen and beautifully slim design. The excellent keyboard and trackpad are the icing on the cake Read more

Part of the company's new Gemstone Blue series of entertainment-focused laptops, the Acer Aspire 6920G is a stylish machine that's great for watching films. It sports a Blu-ray drive and a plethora of media controls. As an excellent performer, this desktop replacement is very appealing Read more

HP HDX X16 review

It's pricey but the 16-inch HDX X16 is a fantastic entertainment laptop, offering great performance and impressive audio capability. High-definition movies via the Blu-ray drive also look great on the 'Full HD', 1,920x1,080-pixel display. We've got to say, though, that the paint job is awful Read more

Toshiba Satellite L300 review

Toshiba has a strong reputation for being able to put together budget laptops that have the look and feel of more expensive machines. The L300 has a rock-bottom price tag of just £390, so we were intrigued to see whether Toshiba had managed once again to avoid the usual pitfalls of budget machines Read more

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

Samsung R710 review

The attractive 17-inch R710 is an excellent choice for those seeking a powerful but relatively wallet-friendly entertainment laptop. With muscular internal components and a built-in Blu-ray drive, it offers a winning combination of price, speedy performance and good 3D capabilities Read more

Dell Vostro 1310 review

The Dell Vostro 1310 is an ultra-portable laptop designed for basic everyday use, with lower-specification models available at an excellent price. Connectivity is good, with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and four USB ports. The 13.3-inch matte screen is not too reflective and text and images look crisp Read more
