  • Acer Aspire One

    The Acer Aspire One is better than most netbooks and is fantastic for anyone who wants a small, cheap machine on which to type and surf the Web. However, its battery life lets it down slightly.

  • Acer Aspire 6920G

    The Aspire 6920G is a stylish machine that offers great performance for watching movies or playing the latest games. It's an excellent option if you're looking for a desktop replacement laptop that can keep you entertained.

  • Acer TravelMate 6592

    This is an affordable notebook that should suit anyone looking for a capable, mostly desk-bound system. The webcam is a nice extra, while fingerprint recognition is fast becoming a 'must have' feature for business users.

  • Acer TravelMate 6292 (602G16Mn)

    The Acer TravelMate 6292 passes muster, and comes in at a great price. We just wish it looked a little nicer.

  • Acer Aspire 2920 (302G25Mn)

    The Aspire 2920 should suit most people who are on a budget, like to stay portable, but still need a bit of grunt. If it had an HDMI port, it'd almost be the perfect solution.
