HP Pavilion dv3-2230ea preview

The 13.3-inch Pavilion dv3-2230ea entertainment laptop could probably do with a more powerful GPU, but it compensates for this with a feature that, for the moment, makes it unique: its multi-touch display. It's also relatively portable and should prove a solid performer, offering decent value for money overall

HP Pavilion dv3-2055ea

Attractive, lightweight and with good connectivity, the 13.3-inch Pavilion dv3-2055ea is a well-specified laptop for a reasonable price. The dv3-2055ea's 3D graphics performance isn't quite good enough for it to be considered a true multimedia powerhouse, but it's certainly a capable all-rounder

HP EliteBook 8730w

A gorgeous 17-inch DreamColour display is the standout feature of the workstation-class EliteBook 8730w, but it's not the only aspect of this laptop that helps justify the premium price tag. The 8730w also boasts superb performance, excellent build quality and a good keyboard

HP HDX X16

It's pricey but the 16-inch HDX X16 is a fantastic entertainment laptop, offering great performance and impressive audio capability. High-definition movies via the Blu-ray drive also look great on the 'Full HD', 1,920x1,080-pixel display. We've got to say, though, that the paint job is awful

HP HDX X18

It's expensive, the trackpad isn't great and its design is overly showy, but, apart from that, the 18-inch HDX X18 offers pretty much everything you could want in an entertainment laptop. Boasting a Blu-ray drive and 1080p display, it's a hugely powerful machine that offers a tonne of features

HP TouchSmart tx2-1020ea

Making full use of Vista's tablet PC features, the 12.1-inch TouchSmart tx2-1020ea offers decent performance and a good feature set in an attractive and robust package. It's on the heavy side and its multitouch capability may not be all you'd expect at this price, though

HP EliteBook 6930p

The relatively heavy EliteBook 6930p is an extremely well-built machine, with an excellent keyboard and decent performance. Most of the 19 models available lack integrated mobile broadband, and the entry-level screen resolution is disappointing, but it's a solid workhorse overall

HP Pavilion TX1260ea

The major difference between the HP Pavilion TX1260ea and its older brother, the TX1020ea, is simply power. The TX1260ea has beefed up its CPU and has added more memory, but don't worry -- it's still the glossy, rotating tablet laptop you know and love. Take a turn for the better

HP Pavilion HDX9000

If you're going to nickname your product 'Dragon', you better back it up with both sleek styling and performance. With its design and multimedia capabilities, HP's Pavilion HDX9000 burns the competition and earns its alias. It is by far the hottest 20-inch desktop replacement we've seen

HP Pavilion TX1020ea

HP is trying something new -- on one hand the TX1020ea is a business-like touchscreen Tablet PC, and on the other it's a home-oriented Media Center laptop. It might not be the most powerful PC we've ever seen, but its low price tag makes it worth a look

HP Compaq nx9420
