Acer G225HQ

The G225HQ is nothing special, but it'll likely appeal to twitch gamers with next to zero input lag, its aggressive styling and affordable price. It's just a shame it's a gloss screen.

Reviews

Acer Extensa 5635Z

The Extensa is a business laptop with no particular frills. That's not a bad thing per se, but it's tough to get too excited about it, either.
Acer Aspire 5536

The Acer Aspire 5536 is a little light on battery, but it's a good all-rounder for anyone seeking an affordable laptop with a big screen and keyboard.
Acer Aspire One D250

For the price, it's hard to find fault with Acer's even cheaper version of the 10.1-inch Aspire One, as long as you're not expecting top-of-the-line features.
Acer G24 LCD Monitor

While its gaming performance is stellar, due to its ultra-glossy and reflective screen its viewing angle is unforgiving. It's also not the most ideal monitor for colour accuracy.
Acer Aspire Timeline 4810T

Since when did vendor battery claims actually represent the truth? Acer's Timeline notebook just keeps going and going and going, but it's a pity that it's otherwise underpowered and hampered by Windows Vista.
Acer Aspire One AOD150

The new 10-inch Aspire One AOD150 will further cement Acer's lead in the netbook market, largely on account of its price.
Acer Aspire 8930G (Core 2 Duo T9400 processor 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM)

With a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8930G is a capable HD content playback machine.
Acer Aspire Predator

Acer's Aspire Predator ticks most of the boxes for an enthusiast's machine, but the interior is a let down.
