Review summary	The HP Pavilion dv9790ea is a powerful machine that can even turn its hand to gaming. It's let down, however, by its low screen resolution and poor battery life 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	Dell's XPS M2010 is truly a special laptop.
