HP Mini 5101
HP's biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favourite netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer.

Lenovo ThinkPad T400s
The T400s is the lightest 14-inch ThinkPad yet from Lenovo — just be ready to pay for the convenience.

Mitsubishi i MiEV
Tall, lanky and cute as a bean, the Mitsubishi i MiEV seems to be a practical electric car for city driving. Shame it's only here for feasibility studies, not to mention lots of gawking.
-
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.
-
MSI Wind U115 Hybrid
The Wind is still one of the better 10-inch laptops in the mix, although due to its substandard trackpad and high price, we'd suggest the HP Mini 2140 or Asus Eee PC 1000HE would be a better choice.
-
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 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.
-
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.

Centrino 2: What's in the Intel sequel?
Centrino is dead — it's official. But don't worry. On 14 July, Intel will launch Centrino 2 — codenamed 'Montevina' — to stave off competition from AMD, and to cement its place as the world's number one choice for laptops.
