Dell Vostro 1220

At first glance, the Vostro 1220 looks like an ultraportable notebook that was born from Dell's consumer range. But instead Dell has created its own little niche, targeting the more fashion-conscious business user on a budget.

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.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • Dell Inspiron Mini 1210

    The Mini 1210's upgraded processor and shift to Windows XP does remove some of the original model's biggest issues, but it's still not a netbook that we'd buy.

  • 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.

  • Apple Mac Mini (2009)

    Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.

  • 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.

  • Acer Aspire One AOD150

    The new 10-inch Aspire One AOD150 will further cement Acer's lead in the netbook market, largely on account of its price.

  • Acer Aspire 8930G (Core 2 Duo T9400 processor 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM)

    With a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8930G is a capable HD content playback machine.

  • 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.
