Offering the most versatile touchscreen of any laptop we've seen, the Aspire R7 looks like a compelling option for all sorts of people.

Acer says the new Aspire P3 will redefine the computing experience. Let's see if it's right...

The Acer Aspire V5 Touch brings touchscreen shenanigans to a lower price point than many other Windows 8 laptops.

Updated The Acer C7 is better-specced and cheaper than its Chromebook predecessors - so why don't we like it?

Windows 8 has met with mixed reviews. The Acer Aspire S7 could tip the scales in Microsoft's favor.

The world's thinnest Ultrabook packs power and style, but is it the best ultraportable laptop for the price?

The slim Acer Aspire V5 works as a stylish alternative to Intel's Ultrabook platform and although this it doesn't boast the same kind of power.

The Acer Aspire V3-571 is an excellent all-rounder, which marries top performance, decent build quality and a vibrant screen.

When it comes to unique laptop design, Acer is no slouch.

Nvidia has been calling the Acer Timeline U M3 the first true Ultrabook. And they have a good reason - at its heart beats the latest in mobile graphics, the GeForce GT 640M.

You'd be forgiven for not noticing Chromebooks - cloud-connected laptops that Google promised would revolutionise the way we use our PCs. Can Acer turn the tide?

The Acer Aspire 5750 won't win any awards for design or craftsmanship, but with the power and performance on offer, it's hard to ignore for anyone looking for a decent laptop on a budget.

When it comes to battery life, Acer's TravelMate 8481T is the laptop to beat. It's not all that surprising when you see the battery protruding from the back of the chassis, practically doubling the breadth of the machine.

The first-generation ultrabook war is getting bloody, with the 13.3-inch Acer Aspire S Series entering the fray of super-thin-yet-powerful laptops with its Intel Core i7 2637M processor and 19mm-thin body

Keeping up with Acer is some task. The Taiwanese company has come of age and is now one of the laptop manufacturers to be reckoned with. Its Aspire 5749 is another fine example of advanced features in a budget package.

Excellent features are the exception rather than the rule here

Stunning portability, but it's no Ultrabook

Acer may seemingly release a new laptop model every eight seconds, but the majority offer excellent value for money, with strong specs for the asking price. We were therefore disappointed by the performance of the Aspire 5560G, despite its strong graphical abilities.

A capable laptop - but it does little to stand out

Great value for money with strong performance

An excellent home entertainment laptop, with a detachable remote for enhanced laziness

A great all-round student laptop offering good value for money

The Acer Aspire One 721 packs a lot of punch for its size

Plenty of storage and power make for a great family laptop - but at a price

Stunning value from this smart and surprisingly powerful laptop
