| Review summary | The Satellite Pro A100-415 is an incredibly cheap laptop, yet it still manages to look seriously stylish. Its performance, however, lets it down. With more RAM it might be worth considering, but in its current configuration it's too under-specified to deal with the demands of Vista 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 |
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. It's a completely new concept that's best described as a portable desktop PC, so if you're averse to the idea of owning a chunky tower or desktop machine, you could do a lot worse than check this out 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 |

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
Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards
