| Review summary | Dell's first release from its new Studio line, the Studio 15, sits between the Inspiron and XPS lines and offers a good mix of features for the price, but we'd be tempted to save up a few extra pounds for a thinner, lighter XPS 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 |
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 |
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 |

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
Toshiba Satellite A500
Despite its low-resolution screen, it's a very good all-rounder at a decent price
