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 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.
