Review summary	The Inspiron 1520 is an ordinary Dell with a nice lick of paint. This is no bad thing -- it offers strong performance, decent battery life and good value for money. The chassis is a little too chunky for our liking, but if you don't intend to travel long distances with it then it makes a great companion 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	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	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
