Review summary	The Dell Inspiron 1525 is the textbook example of a midsize, mainstream laptop. As with all Dells, it's highly configurable, and with a few high-end touches such as HDMI output and touch-sensitive media controls, it's good value for students just about to go off to university 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	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
