Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (June 2009)

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor tweaks to the previous version, but cutting prices and swapping the ExpressCard slot for an SD card slot are enough to make it a solid improvement over its predecessor.

Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, June 2009)

Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminium unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.

Reviews

  • Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds

    The W700ds will make a huge dent in both your wallet and your lap, but for power users, it's tough to beat.

  • Dell Studio XPS 13

    The Dell Studio XPS 13 is a very good laptop. It could have been excellent, but Dell seems to have actually tried too hard in some areas, such as the laptop's design, and we feel it's backfired slightly.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HP EliteBook 6930p

    A solid business laptop with excellent battery life, the EliteBook 6930p won't disappoint, but there is little in this laptop to warrant the "Elite" label.

  • Apple MacBook 2.4GHz

    The 2008 Apple MacBook is a perfect amalgam of design and usability, and is able to beat many Windows PCs at their own game.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz)

    Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro has a raft of new features, however, there's now less incentive to spend extra on a Pro because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525

    Taking consumer complaints to heart, Dell updates its mainstream 15-inch laptop with the Inspiron 1525. It's thinner, lighter, and less expensive than its predecessor.
