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.

ASUS U1F

The ASUS U1 is one of the best ultraportable laptops available today, and more than powerful enough for Web browsing and office tasks -- just don't expect it to run 3D games

Reviews

  • Dell XPS M1210

    Upgraded to Windows Vista, the Dell XPS M1210 is a pricey but powerful system for those who want a smaller laptop with few compromises.

  • 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.

  • Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (24-inch, 2.16GHz)

    Other vendors might offer more flexible configurations and better deals on components, and the specter of HD video looms darkly, but the 24-inch iMac's sprawling display and convincingly capable features should set most people's minds at ease.

  • ASUS U5F

    Ignoring the low-resolution, standard aspect display, the U5F is a fast ultra-portable with great battery life.

  • BenQ Joybook S61

    There's a lot to love about BenQ's ultra-portable media centre notebook, even if battery life isn't ideal.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-AR18GP

    If you're happy to wait a few months for more Blu-ray content to land, the AR18GP is a powerful, multimedia-rich laptop whose only glaring omission is a TV tuner.

  • Dell Inspiron 6400

    The Inspiron 6400 is a mid-range notebook with an entry-level price tag. It'll handle most applications nicely, but it's a little on the heavy side and isn't suitable for extensive gaming.

  • Acer TravelMate 3010

    Acer's cheap and cheerful thin-and-light feels more like a high-end offering thanks to its stellar performance and battery life.
