Should I buy a laptop now or wait for Windows 7?

There's a key question being asked by students, parents and anyone in the market for a new laptop: if I buy a laptop now, can I get Windows 7 for free?

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.

Reviews

  • Asus Eee PC S101

    Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.

  • HP Mini 1000

    HP may have arrived late to the consumer netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.

  • 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.

  • HP Compaq Presario B2823TX

    The glossy white casing is certainly unique. Though equipped with a dedicated graphics card on the previous Centrino chipset, the performance of this unit is unfortunately only average.

  • HP Compaq Tablet PC tc4200

    This latest tablet PC from HP Compaq is a decent improvement over its predecessors, though unresolved legacy flaws may dampen user enthusiasm.

  • Dell Inspiron 9300

    With this Inspiron, users get the chance to experience powerful graphics at an affordable price.
