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.

  • Dell Latitude E6400

    Dell's Latitude E6400 is a full featured business laptop that delivers on performance, battery life and price in one neat bundle.

  • 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.

  • Dell Latitude 2100

    The Latitude 2100 is an interesting answer to customising for the needs of schools. As a by-product, Dell has created a robust little netbook that can just as easily be tossed around by any techie who likes to work roughly.

  • 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.
