Six laptops that can replace desktops
Not everyone wants a desktop, they are big, occupy a lot of space and the jungle of wires just seem to grow over time. A nice 15.6" laptop could be the perfect desktop replacement. It'll let you do all your routine tasks without you having to strain your eyes. Below we've listed some of the best notebooks we think would fit the bill. This is of course not an absolute list, so if you have anything in mind or are using a different laptop that you think deserves a place here then please holler in the comments section.
Acer Aspire 5740G
The Acer Aspire 5740G is a refreshed model in Acer's 2010 Aspire series line up. Earlier versions of the Aspire have been decent performers with a Value for Money (VFM) proposition. This year it receives an update with Intel's Core i3 330M 2.13 GHz processor and the new generation ATI Radeon HD 5470 graphics chip. Therefore the bottom line is, if you're interested in a big-screened laptop to do fairly heavy-duty work and don't mind playing games at slightly lower detail setting, then the Aspire 5740G is a decent pick.
