What is it:
15.6-inch desktop-replacement laptop

Typical price:
£503.09 - £505.52

We like:
Good looks; comfortable keyboard

We don't like:
Awkward trackpad; tinny speakers

The judgement:
The configuration of the Acer Aspire 5536 that we reviewed, the 5536-643G50Mn, is better value than the recently reviewed 6530-623G25Mn. It's smaller and lighter but similarly specified. The keyboard is much more comfortable too, making this a laptop that's well worth a look if portability is only an occasional concern
