More HP reviews , RRP: AU$5999.00
HP's Pavilion HDX is quite possibly the best "because we can" item that we've seen in a while -- but for those who don't mind dabbling on the luxury side, it's a must buy item.
The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurable and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.
Asus' M51Va passes muster as one of the better laptops out there, and the Centrino 2 certification means you'll be up to date with the latest spec. If you're in the market for a mid-weight laptop, make sure to give this one a try.
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.
The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.
BenQ's Joybook R45 is a good laptop at a great price — and will be even better once you get an extra gigabyte of RAM in there.

A decent candidate as a replacement for a desktop, giving portability when required. Also not too pricey for those fortunate enough to be able to claim it on tax or salary sacrifice.
Pros: Large screen & decent sound with reasonable grunt to match.
Cons: Not enough customisable options for those oulaying this much and demanding cutting edge. No Bluray writer or choice of video cards. Default 5400 rpm HDD's too slow on this beast, with limited 7200 upgrade choice (and no RAID option). Inability for screen to display 1920*1200 resolution for HD is HP's biggest mistake i.m.o.

This is great for those that want a desktop but want to get the tax benefits of salary sacrafice for a notebook. The line between notebook and desktop blur. GOOD!!!

perhaps there should be some comparison with the Dell XPS 2010, although it does use last generation hardware

It is a perfect ten.At least from the view of a student.It shows that the person who designed must have been a teenager at some point of time
