Review summary	The R700 isn't the most exciting laptop in the world, but there's no ignoring its value for money. It's quick, easy to use and though not stunningly attractive, wouldn't look out of place in anyone's home 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
