Asus G71

The G71 is an excellent system. It's expensive, and there's a few missteps Asus has made with hardware configuration, bling and the inclusion of a 32-bit version of Windows, but by and large with this system you get what you pay for — assuming your pockets are deep enough.

Sony Vaio VGN-P15G (Intel Atom Z530 processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

Sony's upscale Atom-powered Lifestyle PC has the components of a cheaper machine, but the design of a more expensive one. The end result will be a useful travel PC for some and a conversation piece for others.

Reviews

  • Asus N10 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

    You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique because of its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.

  • ASUS Lamborghini VX3

    The ASUS Lamborghini VX3 is the laptop recast as a status symbol. It looks and feels like a luxury item; we just wish it had a bit more power under the hood.

  • HP 2133 Mini-Note

    Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favourite for on-the-go use.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Toshiba Portege R400

    At AU$3,750, this is a "premium" product, but what you get for your money is a flexible and road-worthy tablet -- but it does require extra peripherals to perform optimally.
