Review summary	The Sony Vaio VGN-AR11S is the best multimedia laptop on the market. It contains all you need for enjoying full high-definition video on its own screen or on a larger display. If you're backing Blu-ray over HD DVD this Media Center laptop comes thoroughly recommended Read full review	Dell's XPS M2010 is truly a special laptop. It's likely to be the subject of scorn on initial inspection, but it won't take long to realise that it's not intended to be a traditional laptop.
