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 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

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 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 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

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?

Acer Ferrari 5000

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

Acer TravelMate 3022WTMi

With the ultraportable TravelMate 3020 series, Acer has let its hair down and come up with a striking white system. This Core Duo-based laptop is a good performer and has a neat built-in digital camera. However, we'd prefer an integrated optical drive (even at the expense of a little extra weight)

Acer Aspire 9802WKMi

It's too large to be considered a traditional laptop, and it lacks the upgradeability of a desktop PC. However, like the well-received M2010, the Aspire 9802WKMi does have a place. It should appeal to users who want a Media Center computer with a large screen, plenty of power and moderate portability

Acer TravelMate 3012WTMi

Acer's second dual-core laptop, the TravelMate 3012WTMi is a small, light and highly portable computer. Its wide-screen format, built-in camera and Bluetooth VoIP phone should all appeal to users who travel -- especially those who use the Internet for voice and video calling

Acer Travelmate 8204WLMi

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

Acer Ferrari 4000

Michael Schumacher has one of these -- but only because some oily Acer PR gave it to him. It's sitting at the bottom of his wardrobe because its performance is a long way shy of his exacting Teutonic standards... we imagine.
