An impressive touchscreen PC at a very attractive price. A fine alternative to our A-Listed Sony

Google’s Android OS provides a disappointing distraction from an otherwise average netbook

A lot of 3D movies have appeared on the big screen over the last year. Though some argue it's merely a gimmick, 3D is also now appearing on small screens - in this case, the Acer 5738DG 3D laptop.

Acer brings 3D to the masses with a 3D screen on a mainstream laptop

Slim and stylish, this isn’t the most powerful quad core we’ve seen, but it’s by far the cheapest.

Slick looks and astonishing battery life make this the pick of the bunch for travelers, especially for the business person on the go.

A huge 18.4in widescreen, Blu-ray drive and a big hard disk make this a great entertainment laptop

Acer’s Aspire one makes a splash. A great keyboard, a fine screen and a keen price make for a superb mini-laptop

Acer has come to the party with an affordable well performing flat display that features an internal power supply, better than average 20ms pixel response time, crisp colour and good greyscale results.

An improvement over the Eee PC 900, with longer battery life and sleeker looks – but its rivals are catching up

Poor image quality and no DVI port make this one to avoid

If it’s a Blu-ray equipped desktop replacement you’re after, the 8920G is a fine choice.

This notebook is the winner of our Light Laptops roundup. It's solid in every area rather than outstanding in one, and very attractively priced.

A retrograde step from its predecessor, but a super low price makes this dinky PC very desirable

A huge screen and an affordable price, but it doesn’t rival a desktop PC where power is concerned

Another big name brand PC gets a cutting-edge, all-format, high-def optical drive capable of playing Blu-ray and HD DVD.

A superb package for the price, with plenty of power. Only the unambitious battery life lets it down.

A very-well designed alternative to big beefy computers which make a lot of noise.

Great design and comprehensive features make it a truly great Media Center PC. Only the price lets it down.

A decent notebook but too expensive for the features on offer.
