We've seen Sandy Bridge laptops emerge from almost every major manufacturer since Intel unveiled its second generation processor earlier this year. While these laptops have differed wildly in look and size, from the tiny Samsung 9000S to the hulking...

A powerful processor and decent battery life in a stylish package

Only one USB 3 port and a slightly disappointing screen, plus a last-generation touchpad

If you don't want to pay a high price for a high-end processor like the Sandy Bridge Core i7, the Aspire 5750G is a way to get the performance and reasonable battery life, without breaking the budget. You're not paying for unusually fancy design...

With a three-digit price tag and a 2nd Gen Core i5 CPU, the Aspire 5750G represents good value for money. It does have some drawbacks, such as a glossy screen and it could use a better keyboard and touchpad, but overall it's a nice laptop that would...

Attractive, compact case; Mostly matt, resistant surfaces; Very good application performance; Good 3D, gaming performance; Acceptable soundscape; Optimized power consumption with Nvidia Optimus; Good battery life in operation without load

Unfavorable port positioning; Unusual keyboard; Intensely reflective display; High heat development possible; Moderate sound quality

The benefits of Sandy Bridge paired with Optimus seem steep. The balancing act of performance and low power consumption is likely only matched by similar configurations. For example: Asus N53SV or the larger Acer Aspire 7750G with HD 6650 GPU.

Good application performance; Good battery life; Cool components; Affordable price; Nice looks

Creaking wrist rest; Feedback poor keyboard; CPU throttling during full load; Third rate screen; Moderate gaming performance; Wobbly lid; No USB 3.0

Versatile devices that cost a maximum of EUR 600, like the Acer Aspire 5560G-8358G50Mnkk (15"), the Acer Aspire 7560G-83524G50Mnkk (17"), the Asus K53SK-SX021V (15"), the Dell Vostro 3555 (15"), the HP Pavilion g6-1352eg (15"), the HP Pavilion...
