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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sony Ericsson K800i

    Sony Ericsson has thrown down the gauntlet with the 3.2-megapixel Cyber-shot K800i. We've crowned this the best camera phone so far in 2006, but the bevy of extra features and ease of use make the K800i a good choice for first-time 3G users.

  • 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.

  • Unwired Wireless Card

    While the speed and pricing plans make it appealing for those who aren't deskbound, Unwired's Wireless Card is cruelled by the lack of true mobility and the Sydney-only coverage, which itself is undeniably patchy.

  • Samsung D600

    Samsung's D500 was voted the best mobile handset of 2005 by the GSM association. Can the upgraded D600 outdo it in 2006?
