Intel's Core 2 Duo has been around for several months now, at least on paper, and notebooks featuring the technology are now starting to proliferate. The Acer 5634WLMi is the company's first with the new chipset.
The VGNBZ15GN is Sony's latest business laptop in the Vaio range, and includes the new Centrino 2 platform. A heavy machine with strong performance, but let down by poor battery life.
If you want performance in a desktop replacement form factor then the Toshiba Satellite P200 is a good option, if not a particularly stylish one.
The Sony VAIO's good points -- performance and excellent build quality -- are marred by an uncharacteristically poor screen.
The Aspire 6920G is a stylish machine that offers great performance for watching movies or playing the latest games. It's an excellent option if you're looking for a desktop replacement laptop that can keep you entertained.
Intel has confirmed plans to ship its next-generation wireless chips ahead of its previous schedule for bringing 802.11n wireless to its Centrino program.
