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.

Reviews

  • Sony VAIO VGN-SZ483N

    With a strong security suite, hybrid graphics system and sleek design, the VAIO VGN-SZ483G is a product which sells itself. The only beef we have is its last-generation platform and rather miserly warranty terms.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook N6460

    Amongst the monster "laptops" there's been a heavy focus on multimedia and power, and to a degree, the Fujitsu does well here -- the speakers, lack of Bluetooth and price being the only things that truly cripple it.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-CR13G

    The Sony VAIO CR13G is a head turner that most would be proud to tuck under their arms.

  • HP Compaq 2710p

    HP's attractive Compaq 2710p convertible tablet suffers from one fatal flaw, choosing a ThinkPad-style pointing stick over a touchpad.

  • Toshiba Qosmio G40

    Like its predecessor, the Qosmio G30, Toshiba's flagship multimedia desktop replacement offers a complete suite of entertainment features. The G40 is slightly slimmer and has a couple of tricks up its sleeve.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X61s

    The ThinkPad X61s provides excellent dual-core performance in a lightweight, compact package that's still comfortable to use.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-C13

    Attractive, powerful and reasonably priced, the Sony VAIO VGN-C13 is a smart choice if you're in the market for a thin-and-light laptop.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-C15GP/B

    The Sony VAIO's good points -- performance and excellent build quality -- are marred by an uncharacteristically poor screen.
