This desktop replacement laptop is a stunner, with a sleek chocolate body, an excellent keyboard and features such as Blu-ray and a nifty fingerprint scanner. There are definitely some drawbacks to its Matrix-like design, but even so, it's worth a serious look

Asus Eee PC 701

The Asus Eee PC 701 is one of the smallest laptops on the market. It's small enough to be mistaken for a hardback book, but despite its dimensions, it doesn't sacrifice performance.

Asus Lamborghini VX2

The Asus Lamborghini VX2 is lovingly styled on its namesake, even down to the "vroom vroom" noise it makes on startup, but this isn't at the expense substance -- there's plenty of grunt in the engine, too

Asus U1

It's tiny, it's shiny, it's got leather, it's got Vista -- what's not to love? The Asus U1 offers Core Duo performance in a petite package, along with a lovely 11-inch screen, an insignificant 1kg weight and the brand-new Windows OS. Graphics aren't a speciality though, and it is pricey
