Top 10 notebooks of January

Dell Inspiron 630m

Dell's mid-range Inspiron 630m provides excellent value for money with a hearty system under its hood, a 14.1-inch widescreen display and the option of Windows Media Center.

Reader Opinion
This is a very nice looking notebook with a very bright screen as long as it is not reflecting any bright lights (this is the true bright version with the shiny screen). The battery lasts an amazingly long time and the keyboard feels great. I haven't yet been able to use the media controls with the lid closed but I have not really tried very hard to do this.

Dell Inspiron 9400

Tricked out with the fastest mobile components available, the Inspiron 9400 is a true multimedia powerhouse. Be prepared to lay down a large chunk of cash, however.

Reader Opinion
As soon as i pulled this out of the box i new it was mean. There are no faults, event the battery life is awsome for something this size. after a month i could nearly get 3 hours out of a charge. The graphics are great ran bf2 all on high. This is an all around machine.

Toshiba M40

The M40 boasts an impressive array of the latest notebook technologies, especially for those with a multimedia bent, although it could do with running a little quieter and cooler.

HP Compaq Presario B2823TX

The glossy white casing is certainly unique. Though equipped with a dedicated graphics card on the previous Centrino chipset, the performance of this unit is unfortunately only average.

Reader Opinion
Absolutely good product to have the light weight with the optical and good performance notebook. The ATI graphic makes the movie and game vision real. The snow white cover makes it so special for a gift and stand out among the display set in the retail shop. It is always a dream to get a slim and sleek notebook for myself.

Apple MacBook Pro

The MacBook Pro may give Apple bragging rights to the prettiest and most powerful laptop on the planet.

Reader Opinion
Is buying the MacBookPro akin to: (a) buying a new generation Boxster with last generation's design? So how can you tell the difference between a MacBookPro and a PB G4 akin to: (b) buying a Aston Martin Vanquish and seeing your neighbour driving the cheaper but similar design DB9 or even worse Vantage V8? And go backwards in technology....no DL 8x SuperDrive or FW800 Will I still want one? Yes.
