Dell Adamo

Dell's upscale Adamo is a 13-inch laptop for those who value design and finish as much as performance, but its luxury price will limit the potential audience.

Apple iMac 24-inch (2009)

Apple made a number of changes to the 24-inch iMac, but making it available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • Dell Studio XPS 16

    The Dell Studio XPS 16 is an attractive laptop that handles HD content particularly well, although it suffers from an unimpressive battery life.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-Z17GNB

    Sony's new ultraportable has switchable graphics and a high resolution 13.1-inch screen.

  • 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.

  • Vaio CS series

    Sony's fashion-conscious CS series offers a range of bright colours and an LED panel that lights up when you stroke the cover.
