It's got a beautiful 11-inch screen, Intel Core Duo processor and -- best of all -- leather panelling for the lid and wrist-rests.

Sony Vaio VGN-AR11S review

Sony's Vaio VGN-AR11S is the first laptop to use an integrated Blu-ray drive. It's also the first laptop we've seen that uses a 1080i-capable display with HDCP decoding capability, giving it full high-definition readiness. It uses a fast processor and features a pair of 100GB hard drives, making it a good all-rounder Read more

Dell XPS M2010 review

When Dell unveiled the XPS M2010 laptop concept at CES 2006, few expected it to reach the retail market -- the 20-inch laptop was far more audacious than anything we'd seen previously. But with a fast Intel Centrino Duo T2600 processor running at 2.16GHz and strong graphics capabilities, this baby certainly doesn't disappoint Read more

Dell XPS M1730 review

Meet 'The Beast' -- Dell's XPS M1730. It's the first laptop ever to use a dedicated Ageia PhysX processing unit alongside two separate high-end graphics cards, making for one incredible gaming experience. Graphics is what this laptop is all about, and it can certainly throw its weight around Read more
