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?

HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

HP offers a premium version of its Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the netbook to beat.

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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ThinkPad T43

    The ThinkPad T43 puts new components inside its tried-and-true case, but the updated parts didn't produce a significant speed or battery-life boost.
