Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 review

In a world full of expensive Ultrabooks, it's nice to know you can still pick up a solid, all-purpose laptop for less than £500. The Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 isn't gorgeous, sleek, or lightweight - and it's certainly not the best performer - but at such a low price, it's an attractive option for people who are shopping on a budget.

Dell Inspiron 17R review

The Dell Inspiron 17R is a budget desktop replacement laptop, which sounds like it might be an oxymoron. After all, how can a laptop that's meant to replace a desktop be, well, a cheap laptop (listed at £559, to be exact)?

Toshiba Satellite Pro L850-11U review

One of the advantages of the dizzying progress of computer technology is that a good deal of power can be bought for very little. The Toshiba Satellite Pro L850-11U might lack the all-round showmanship of Acer’s budget fare, but it’s still a solid laptop.

Acer Aspire V5-571 review

The Acer V5 Series of laptops stands a little above the budget V3 range. There is a range of differently configured Acer Aspire V5s – the Acer Aspire V5-571 we reviewed is one of the easiest to find on sale, a still budget-priced and specified 15.6in notebook with a balanced set of specs for its price.

Dell Vostro V131 review

Dell's Vostro V131 is sedately handsome and a good performer, but has little else to distinguish it from the corporate-targeted ultraportable crowd. Unless, that is, you count eye-catching prices for various configurations, two USB 3.0 ports, and a generally excellent set of features.

HP ProBook 5330m review

Sometimes you need to buy a boatload of laptops for your staff when they need mobile PCs. HP is hoping its low cost ProBook 5330m business laptop lineup will fit the bill. Here we look at the $799 version, which strips out some features to hit that low price.

Micro Express NBL5125 review

The Micro Express NBL5125 is a basic almost-a-desktop-replacement notebook. This all purpose laptop is an excellent performer with a nice, bright screen, but its speakers and keyboard leave something to be desired.
