Asus G2S

Asus offers up a respectable 17-inch gaming rig with the Asus G2S. Its good looks, however, are offset by uninspiring gaming performance.

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.4GHz)

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • Alienware Area-51 m9750

    Alienware's flagship gaming laptop, the Area-51 m9750, has plenty of appeal for high-end gamers, but the alien head aesthetic seems dated, and newer components are right around the corner.

  • 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.

  • ASUS G2

    Right out of a Need for Speed body-shop, the Asus G2 has plenty of power and pretty lights, but the graphics aren't the best we could have hoped for in a gaming laptop

  • Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz, 17-inch)

    Apple's Core 2 Duo 17-inch MacBook Pro is especially thin and light for a desktop replacement, making it an attractive choice for multimedia users on the go.

  • Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

    The new MacBook, updated to Intel's Core 2 Duo CPU, compares very favourably with Apple's high-end MacBook Pro line, offering premium performance at a reasonable price.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (15.4-inch 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

    If you've been holding off on making the leap to a MacBook because of the lack of Core 2 Duo processors, this new update adds the latest Intel CPUs and provides a great overall computing experience, albeit at a premium price.

  • Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (17-inch, 1.83GHz)

    The 17-inch iMac is missing a few features you might like — SuperDrive and a remote control, to name two — but it still makes a stellar home PC, thanks to its great design, new Core 2 Duo processor, and superior software bundle. Plus, its price makes it a borderline budget PC.
