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 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.
Altech Maestro Fusion

The Altech Maestro Fusion is a beautiful system, but you'll need a TV and sound system to complete the picture (literally).
