Dell Studio XPS 16
The Dell Studio XPS 16 is an attractive laptop that handles HD content particularly well, although it suffers from an unimpressive battery life.
Sony Vaio VGN-TT15GN
If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.
Reviews

Dell Studio 17
The Dell Studio 1735 is a decent laptop which is best for multimedia and casual gaming, but the glossy, hi-res screen isn't suited to general usage.
-
Vaio CS series
Sony's fashion-conscious CS series offers a range of bright colours and an LED panel that lights up when you stroke the cover.
-
Sony VAIO VGN-SZ483N
With a strong security suite, hybrid graphics system and sleek design, the VAIO VGN-SZ483G is a product which sells itself. The only beef we have is its last-generation platform and rather miserly warranty terms.
-
Sony VAIO VGN-NR17G
Sony's NR17G has a distinctive look, and while it doesn't stand out in the performance stakes, it's still a worthwhile desktop replacement candidate, as long as your needs are modest.
-
Sony VAIO VGN-TZ17GN/N
The Sony VAIO VGN-TZ17GN/N is more fragile than we'd like, especially at AU$3,599 -- but the feature set is quite impressive for an ultraportable.
-
Toshiba Qosmio G40
Like its predecessor, the Qosmio G30, Toshiba's flagship multimedia desktop replacement offers a complete suite of entertainment features. The G40 is slightly slimmer and has a couple of tricks up its sleeve.
-
Sony VAIO VGN-FZ18G
We can't imagine the market for a 15-inch home theatre laptop with Blu-ray is very large, but the Sony VAIO VGN-FZ18G certainly fits the bill if it's out there.
-
Fujitsu LifeBook S6311
Serious battery misers may still find love in Sony's new G series product with its similar specs, although for the asking price you could buy yourself an S6311 and a couple of extra batteries.
