Samsung 550P7C review

Samsung’s 550P7C is a laptop only in the very broadest sense of the word. Its size and heft mean you’re unlikely to want to have it actually sitting in your lap for very long, and not at all on a busy commuter train where you’re likely to elbow fellow travellers in the ribs.

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)?

Dell Inspiron 14z review

Intel's original Ultrabook concept referred to ultraportable, ultraslim Windows laptops with a premium design and strict constraints on thickness and specs. But these days, vendors seem to label every semislim ultraportable they sell as an Ultrabook, and Intel has stretched the definition to include laptops that aren't in the same aesthetic league.

Toshiba Qosmio X775-Q7170 review

The Qosmio X775-Q7170 is the entry-level model of the Qosmio X770 series of desktop replacement laptops. The Q7170 sports the same snazzy design as other laptops in the series: a 17.3-inch widescreen, a red-backlit keyboard, and a fade-to-red color scheme. However, it comes packed with some less-impressive hardware components and no 3D display.

Acer Aspire Ethos 8951G review

Acer Aspire 8950G review

When I first hauled out the Acer Aspire 8950G from the backpack, I almost dropped it, not because it was that heavy, but because it was lighter than expected. This massive (I hesitate to say "notebook") desktop replacement system sports an 18.4-inch, true 1080p LCD panel. At 8 pounds, 5 ounces without the power brick, it's lighter than some smaller systems that have been through the lab here. Even with the 120 watt power supply, the weight falls just a little short of 10 pounds.
