For some of us it's important for our laptops to look as good as they perform. After all, technology needn't be drab.
You shouldn't have to haul a dull grey laptop in a ho-hum, unnoticed way out of your briefcase, feeling the unspoken scorn of those around. Grab the nearest svelte pocket and match it with one of our hot picks below. Then you can unveil your sexy laptop to an awe-struck hush and draw the oohs and aahs of your envious peers.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but you're sure to find something here that will soothe the aesthete within.
Apple MacBook Air (1.6GHz)
Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
HP Pavilion dv2633XT Special Edition 'Verve'
The Verve is near perfect -- though it wouldn't hurt HP to squeeze out a little more battery life, thin out the crapware and to start supplying some realistic driver downloads.
Sony Vaio TT
The Vaio TT is billed by Sony as the world's smallest Blu-ray laptop. With noise-cancelling energy-saving technologies, it's designed for business users who want to watch their own movies after the work's done on long international flights.
Dell Studio 1535
The Dell Studio 1535 is a good mid-range laptop that fills the gap between premium and mainstream, and offers good quality for the price.
ASUS U2E
The Asus U2E is a fantastic laptop. It's far slower than rivals such as the Sony Vaio TZ series or MacBook Air, but it's stylish, feature-rich and in many ways more desirable than many of the alternatives.

Is this rating of function or style? Cause I'm confused. How is that Dell manage a 8.5 while the Air only gets 7.7? And you don't have a rating for any of the VAIO's.

The ratings are for functions not style.

Voodoo envy is easily the nicest looking one compared to these. VAIO's are very nice as well. Finally companies are seeing that we want something the runs great but looks the part.
