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.
The Dell Studio XPS 16 is an attractive laptop that handles HD content particularly well, although it suffers from an unimpressive battery life.
HP offers a premium aluminium-clad version of its plastic Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the business netbook to beat.
This versatile 1.25kg DLP projector is among the first to support DisplayLink, which allows mobile professionals to ditch the VGA cable and send video via a USB connection.
If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.
Beautifully designed and reassuringly robust, the 1.5kg VAIO Z11 marries a decent-sized 13.1-inch screen with good portability. It's not flawless, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed.
Lenovo has continued the ThinkPad tradition of no-nonsense business laptops with the SL500, which provides good value and is powered by the Intel Centrino 2 architecture, and comes loaded with Windows Vista Business.
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.
The wait is finally over for the ASUS Eee PC 1000, a notebook that promises to make a dent in the netbook market. It's the most well-equipped and largest in the Eee series and has cast aside the usability shackles of its diminutive predecessors.
While a solid machine and a capable media centre, we're still trying to work out who the target market for the highly expensive LT VAIO is. Design-crazed multimillionaires, perhaps.
Here are ten of the guilty parties who try to do the impossible: to make us hate the internet and wish it had never been invented -- and who very nearly succeed.
Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favourite for on-the-go use.
The thoroughly average Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 has a lovely display, solid battery life, and relatively trim weight, but it lacks the features of similarly priced systems. You can get more for your money elsewhere.
Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
No doubt the VGC-LM18G will find its way onto some people's walls and benches, and is thoroughly enjoyable to use. But it's got a few more revisions to go before it's perfect.
