Windows 7 means new laptops

While most vendors are simply installing Windows 7 across their existing range, a number of new laptops will be available for purchase now that Microsoft's new operating system has hit the market.

Reviews

  • HP Pavilion DV2 1001AU

    For a 12-inch laptop we'd expect more performance and features than we're getting, but there are obviously compromises to be made in making ultrathin affordable.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Dell Inspiron 13

    The Dell Inspiron 13 is great for those hampered by a tight budget, but who still want a competent and power-efficient thin-and-light notebook with a decent design.

  • HP Pavilion dv5-1050tx

    The sleek design and good performance of the HP Pavilion dv5-1050tx makes it a solid contender, but don't plan on removing the power cord any time soon.

  • HP Pavilion dv2840TX Artist Edition

    If you swing with the funky, then HP's Artist Edition laptop could be for you.

  • Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz)

    A slight bump to the specifications for the same price, the option to upgrade the graphics means the 24-inch iMac keeps the Editors' Choice it earned last year.

  • HP Pavilion dv6724TX Special Edition "Thrive"

    HP has well and truly hit its stride with its laptops, and the dv6700 Special Edition series represents a new level in quality. Unless your needs involve being ultramobile, requiring gigabit Ethernet or requiring HSDPA, you shouldn't be disappointed with this machine.
