| Review summary | Dell's turn toward a 'design-first' philosophy continues to pay off with the XPS M1530, easily the best-looking 15-inch laptop in recent memory 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 |
