| Review summary | You can't get away from the Ferrari styling, and more to the point people sitting near you won't be able to ignore the carbon-fibre lid and Ferrari badge. Under the skin it's a decent laptop with plenty of power, but that's a secondary consideration to anyone who has been smitten by the looks Read full review |
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 |
The HP Pavilion HDX9000 is simply the best desktop replacement multimedia laptop money can buy. If you're after a machine that is fast, attractive and still slightly portable, there are very few alternatives Read full review |
Powerful innards and a sleek, sexy exterior make this the most desirable laptop we've seen in a long time. If you want a portable to impress, look no further Read full review |

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
