Dell Inspiron 15

The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.

Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, June 2009)

Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminium unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.

Reviews

  • Apple MacBook Pro (2.66GHz, 17-inch)

    A little late to the party, Apple's redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro joins the 15-inch model with a redesigned aluminium body, new trackpad with expanded functionality, and a dual graphics set-up for either longer battery life or better performance.

  • Acer TravelMate 6292

    A well-built and -- shock-horror -- good-looking business notebook, the Acer TravelMate 6292 would be one of our first choices for life on the road.

  • Toshiba Satellite P100

    Toshiba's Satellite P100-PSPAGA offers excellent components, features, and performance, but you can find similar systems for less.

  • Toshiba Qosmio G30

    Although the benefit of HD DVD is questionable, the Toshiba Qosmio G30 is still the most feature-rich home entertainment notebook we've seen to date.

  • Apple Mac Mini Core Duo

    Apple packs more media-specific features into the Mac Mini to make an inexpensive and useful entertainment-room computer. It's tremendously easy to use, although it surprised us with poor image processing.
