Our rating:

9/10

Want a large laptop without the large outlay? Samsung’s cheap but cheerful 17.3in effort comes highly recommended.

With Acer's latest 15.6in budget laptop, you get a lot for your money. If you can live with its flaws, it's a great buy.

This is almost identical to the Acer 1825PT / 1825PTZ (unsurprisingly, since Acer own Packard Bell), and very similar to the Asus T101MT.

From what I can tell, the Asus is the most underpowered and the cheapest; the Acers are about £100 more than the Packard Bell but higher 'specced. Which would you recommend?

It's the front side bus (FSB) frequency. It's a technical detail that's not worth worrying about.

This looks great, I bought a TX2 about a year ago and its a similar sort of thing, but this has the advantage of being cheaper, running cooler and having longer battery life. I have been very happy with the TX2 so I would say this is a winner.

The tablet function doesnt offer that much in real usability, but with a convertable you dont lose anything either. And you can play Crayon World Deluxe which is awesome, and I used it for drawing Economic diagrams in one note while in lectures as well which was the main reason for buying it.

@dandare71:

The Asus T101MT is a netbook, not a laptop at all. Thus it's a very different beast from the Butterfly Touch reviewed here. It has a weak Atom CPU, half the RAM, a less powerful battery, lower screen resolution, etc.

As to the Acers, if you're not planning to run anything that will severely tax the PB's Celeron there's no reason to pay £100 more, especially since you then miss out on the included copy of Adobe Elements 8 too.

@mjaffk:

Sorry, that's the FSB. Core CPU speed is 1.2GHz.

This is in a different league to the T101MT. Very nearly went for this but stumped up for the HP tm2. Got a SU4100 dual core CULV with ati 4550 dedicated graphics (512MB), wacom touch screen/ pen and a bundled external drive with the same keyboard ( and sadly touchpad) as the envy 13. I feel like a stolen it at £700 considering I can modern warefare two on it. It's quite interesting playing that with a pen! I recommend anyone in the market checks one out as an alternative. The touchsmart software isn't bad either.

Apologies if this a dummies question but with these tablets can the screen orientation change?

I never played with these things or dabbled in windows on a tablet. It looks tempting if the screen can accomodate scrolling documents like web pages to compensate its size.

@Andy. I took delivery of my TM2 last week and I think it's a fantastic machine. I had been planning on buying a Lenovo X201T but the HP is £800 cheaper and has a better graphics card.

It takes a little bit of frigging about to get the digitiser to be pressure sensitive and still get the multi-touch to work but once you do you've got a great laptop, a digital sketchbook and an occasional gaming machine. Once again I'm going to big up Sketch Book Pro as an excellent drawing tool, especially for a tablet.

I bought the Acer 1825PTZ in Singapore last week and brought it back with me. Excellent device it has to be said. Got it bundled with an external slimline dvd-rw and wireless mouse which is handy. My question is though seeing at the screen is capacitive and not resistive like the older 1820PTZ is there a special stylus that can be used with this if I intend on using Photoshop or SketchBook Pro??
