Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T

The 11.6-inch Aspire Timeline 1810T is a great alternative to a netbook, offering the same degree of portability with an added smattering of comfort. Its battery life isn't exceptional, but the 1810T is faster than most netbooks and offers a splendid keyboard that's remarkably easy to type on

Acer Aspire 5738 3D

The 15.6-inch Aspire 5738 3D is the world's first laptop to sport a 3D screen. Under the right conditions and with suitable material, the 3D effect is impressive, gimmicky though it may be. And, even without this party trick, the 5738 3D is an impressive machine, thanks to its speedy CPU

Acer Aspire One D250 Android

The 10.1-inch Aspire One D250 Android is a netbook with a difference. It not only has Windows XP installed but also Android, which allows you to quickly boot the system for access to rudimentary apps, such as a Web browser. Its battery life is good, and it's an attractive machine too

Acer TravelMate Timeline 8371

You'll want to spatter your brains all over the wall if you try playing games on the 13.3-inch TravelMate Timeline 8371, but it's a good laptop in almost every other regard. With an attractive, understated design, a capable ultra-low-voltage CPU and good battery life, the 8371 has won us over

Acer Aspire 6530

The configuration of the 16-inch Acer Aspire 6530 desktop-replacement laptop that we tested, the 6530-623G25Mn, is a stylish beast. While its AMD processor can't quite match Intel's offerings, it's a good all-rounder nevertheless, and it comes at a reasonable price too

Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T

The 13.3-inch Aspire Timeline 3810T boasts a slim, attractive design and a lightweight body, although we'd like to see an optical drive included. Compared to other slim 12- and 13-inch laptops, it also offers decent performance, but it's the extra-long battery life that really makes this machine stand out

Acer Aspire One 751

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

Acer Timeline Aspire 4810T

Those who want an Apple MacBook Air, but can't stomach the price, should check out the 14-inch Timeline Aspire 4810T. Compared to most laptops, it's incredibly thin and light, and, while it's not the best-looking or fastest machine, it's a bargain at its current price

Acer Aspire 2930

We've been rather taken with some of Acer's recent laptops, especially the Blu-ray toting 6920G, so when we were offered the chance to preview its latest machine -- based on Intel's brand-spanking-new Centrino 2 platform -- we jumped at it.

Acer Aspire One

The Acer Aspire One arrives fashionably late to the mini laptop party, but it sashays in with flair. Available in either Linux or Windows XP versions, the One is attractive, lightweight and offers great performance for a low price. Does it spoil the netbook night for the Eee PC?

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

Acer Ferrari 1100

Love supercars? Love laptops? Let us introduce you to the Acer Ferrari 1100. A spacious hard drive and healthy portion of RAM help to make up its strengths. While this thin-and-light's styling might not appeal to everyone, Formula One fans will certainly be in heaven

Acer Aspire 8920G preview

The Acer Aspire 8920G is a very promising machine, and one which may set standards in years to come. Coming in four versions, the desktop replacement has a full keyboard and a marvellous 18.4-inch display, mainly because it has a true 16:9, 1080p resolution

User rating 4.5

Acer TravelMate 6592

A very well-built laptop, the Acer TravelMate 6592 is a solid desktop replacement. It boasts an ergonomically curved keyboard for comfy typing. A reasonably powerful spec, good connectivity and acceptable battery life round out a well-priced package

Acer Aspire 3694WLMi

The budget Acer Aspire 3694WLMi laptop holds its own in the performance stakes and its 15.4-inch glossy screen offers better colour reproduction than most. It's also well connected with four USB ports and a card reader makes it easy to transfer snaps from your camera

Acer Aspire 7720

The Acer Aspire 7720 is a hunking brute of a laptop, with great performance and number-crunching abilities. Added to this, the powerful machine has a large widescreen display, plenty of useful shortcut buttons and enough ports and connectors to rival a desktop machine

Acer Aspire 5920

The Acer Aspire 5920 was crafted with the assistance of over 100 designers and engineers from BMW Designworks -- the folks behind the gorgeous BMW Z07 concept car. But it's the 5920's Santa Rosa innards that are really impressive

Acer Aspire 3693WLWi

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

Acer TravelMate 6463WLMi

Acer's TravelMate 6463WLMi is so large it'll probably spend more time on your desk than in your luggage, but it has plenty of features, including a superb high-resolution screen, and comes at an attractive price

Editor's rating 7.3

Acer TravelMate 8215WLMi

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?
