MacBook Pro 15 inch

The 15-inch MacBook Pro sports the same carved-from-a-single-chunk-of-metal unibody design as its brethren, with a sturdy aluminum chassis and rounded edges. The overall look is classy and modern, though it makes upgrading individual components (like the RAM and hard drive) more difficult, as the entire bottom must be unscrewed.
The MacBook Pro has the same dimensions as before (14.4 x 9.8 x 1 inches), but it weighs a slightly heavier 5.6 pounds. While we definitely felt the extra heft while carrying the machine home, it did fit in our messenger bag, which is more than we can say about most 15-inch notebooks. The only system that comes close is the HP Envy 15, which has an equally slim and stylish profile (15.0 x 9.6 x 1 inches) and weighs a lighter 5.2 pounds. Regardless, this notebook will take up your entire tray table if you take it on a flight.

Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T

The Aspire TimelineX 1830T looks nearly identical to the Aspire One 721 netbook. It has the same svelte profile but weighs a little bit more (2.8 pounds versus 3 pounds). Nevertheless, the 1830T is easy to carry, and its dual-core horsepower is worth the extra few ounces.
We're glad that Acer has ditched the fingerprint-magnet glossy lids for a black matte cover; ours had a pattern on the lid that was reminiscent of diamond plating. Inside, the deck looks like brushed aluminum. As with previous models, the keyboard is matte black, and the bezel is a glossy black.
Thankfully, the 1810T's six-cell battery does not bulge out the back. Instead, it bumps out of the bottom, tilting the system at a slight downward angle towards the user.

Sony Vaio VPCZ116GX/S

Though most laptop shoppers may be laser-focused on value, snapping up $300 Netbooks and $600 ULV systems, there's always a little room at the top of the heap for a high-priced, full-featured showpeice. In the 13-inch category, HP has the Envy 13, Dell has the Adamo XPS, and Sony has the Vaio Z series.
In this latest refresh, the Vaio Z has a very fast Intel Core i5 processor, an Nvidia GT 330M GPU, which can be switched off to save battery life, a DVD drive (something missing from those other high-end 13-inch laptops), and a huge 256GB SSD hard drive, which is no doubt a big part of the $2,299 price (although it's not yet available for sale at the time of this review).
Price aside, the Vaio Z may be our new 13-inch laptop of choice, as it breezed by many other recent 13-inch systems we've tested, which all use older Intel CPUs (or slower low-voltage ones). The trade-off is in battery life, even with the system automatically changing power profiles as needed with its Dynamic Hybrid Graphics System (which is a fancy name for the integrated/discrete graphics switch).

Specifications:
Sony Vaio VPCZ116GX/S belongs to Vaio Z series, it has color options of silver, premium carbon fiber black, metal mosaic, glossy premium carbon fiber. Processor is 2.66GHz Intel Core i7-620M processor with up to 3.33GHz using Intel® Turbo Boost Technology4. It has a 4 MB of L3 cache. For storage there is option up to 512 GB SSD drive. Memory included is 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM.
Expansion slots include Memory Stick PRO Duo media slot, ExpressCard /34 slot, SD memory card slot. Communications options are 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T, Integrated Stereo A2DP Bluetooth technology, Available Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband Built-In, WiFi: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (802.11abgn).
The LED backlit display is 13.1 inches big and has a resolution of 1600×900 resolution. Graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M GPU (1GB VRAM) with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD. It has VGA and HDMI ports.
This notebook comes with 1 year limited warranty with Onsite/In-Home Service. Bundled software is VAIO Media plus Multimedia Streaming Software, VAIO Movie Story, VAIO Care, PMB VAIO Edition, VAIO Media Gallery.

Toshiba Qosmio G45

Toshiba's Qosmio line is known for high-end home-theater features (and high prices), and the massive Qosmio G45 is one of our favorite desktop replacements for movie and media consumption. The latest edition, the G45-AV690, tweaks the previous model, the G45-AV680, by adding Intel's new Penryn processors and a third GB of RAM, but it already looks dated thanks to its mandatory HD DVD drive (our review unit was built shortly before Toshiba pulled the plug on HD DVD, but the writing was clearly already on the wall).

1-Year Standard Limited Warranty
With its steep price, quality issues, and questionable durability, its hard to recommend the Qosmio G45 over other quality Toshiba notebooks like the Satellite X205 gaming notebook. The key issues that would change this decision, if fixed, are the flimsy chassis and buggy hardware failures. Another might be to offer a HD-DVD-rom drive instead of the burner, and really lighten the cost of the machine.

The ENVY H:171 features a desktop-use Intel Core 2 Extreme processor, up to two NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards, and up to three hard drives.
Along with Core 2 Extreme X6800 CPU with 2.93GHz clock speed, VoodooPC ENVY H:171 is configurable with Core 2 Duo E6600 at 2.4GHz and E6700 at 2.66GHz, also designed for desktop computers. The system comes with up to 4GB of DDR2 PC-5300 system memory. Although press release says that this notebook delivers up to 600GB of storage space, the configuration page on VoodooPC’s website enables selection of three 250GB hard drives for a total of 750GB data storage. The system supports RAID 0, RAID 1 or RAID 5 HDD modes, and comes with a DVD burn.

VoodooPC 17-inch widescreen gaming notebook, the ENVY H:171. The notebook chalks up an Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor, a dual NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 video card and a hard drive capacity of up to 600GB using three 200GB hard drives.

Adding support for next-gen NVIDIA GeForce video cards, the ENVY H:171 is aimed at gamers, content creators and all other mobility power users. VoodooPC claims zero slowdowns for demanding tasks such as 3D and 2D rendering, photo and video editing and high-definition gaming.

The ENVY H:171 also boasts integrated RAID 0, RAID 1 or RAID 5 support high transfer rates and application load times. Other features include Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in 1.3 Megapixel web camera.

An important thing to remember about Voodoo's computer systems is that while they provide some of the best performance available, the real reason for them is the customized design and bragging rights to owning such a system. These are clearly some of the most expensive notebook computer on the market. The Envy product name pretty much sums up what Voodoo is aiming for. They want their systems to be the envy of the marketplace.

Alienware Area 51 m9750

Alienware has long been the first name in big-budget gaming rigs, straddling the line between the mainstream and enthusiast markets with flashy ads, high-end components, and just enough hand-holding for novices. We first laid eyes on the company's flagship laptop, the Area-51 m9750, at CES 2007 back in January and came away impressed with its array of high-end components. Its huge, high-resolution display, twin SLI video cards, and a Blu-ray drive, along with a promise that its starting price would approach a reasonable $2,000 earned it a Best of CES nod in the gaming category.

Details:
Operating System: MS Windows XP Media Center
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo T7600
Processor Speed: 2.33 GHz
RAM: 2 GB
Weight: 9.2 lb
Screen Size: 17 inches
Screen Size Type: widescreen
Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce Go 7950GTX SLI
Storage Capacity: 320 GB
Networking Options: 802.11n
Primary Optical Drive: DVD+R DL

Normally when testing with notebooks we have to crank all the settings down and sometimes turn down the screen resolution – not so with the Area-51 m9750. With the exception of Lost Planet, we’re going to be testing this system at the same game settings we use for GeForce 8800 GTX/Ultra cards! Clearly the m9750 system is up for the challenge, at 1920x1200 the system averaged 45 fps in Company of Heroes.

ASUS G70

It's the Asus G70 gaming laptop. Then saw a shiny thing, got distracted and forgot to tell you about it. Thankfully the magpie syndrome has waned, so we'll take this opportunity to lay a few words.
As you can see from the picture it's not particularly attractive, but it is very 'gamey'. In other words it's huge, has more flashing lights than an airliner and a brushed aluminium lid that Asus reckons looks like a suit of armour. We're not sure about that, but it definitely looks like it could put a good-sized dent in your floor if you dropped it.

Details:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T9500 (2.6GHz)
Memory: 4096MB (2048x2) DDRII 667
Graphics card: 2x Nvidia GeForce 8700M GT DDR3 512MB in SLI
HDD: 640GB (320GB x2, 5400rpm)
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium
Disc Drive: DVD Super-Multi Light Scribe/ Blu-Ray Reader/ Blu-Ray RW
Network Connectivity: 10/100/1000, 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth V2.0+EDR
Screen: 17" TFT WUXGA, Colour-Shine, 1,440 x 900 native res
Weight: 4.9kg with battery
Extras: Two year global warranty, Asus branded Razer Copperhead mouse, super-cool Asus rucksack
So, a few things to bear in mind. Firstly, this hardware set-up is a complete mix of high end and mainstream - Asus doesn't seem to know what the system really deserves. It’s running a 32-bit version of Vista for starters, not the 64-bit version offered in other laptops like the Kobalt Comanche SLI so it's 4GB of memory is instantly limited.
The massive chassis allows it to ship with twin hard drives, and you can cram up to 8GB of system memory into it. That's quite a lot. You also get Altec Lansing speakers with a base-mounted subwoofer, HDMI out, and an embedded TV tuner card. We're not sure how much it'll cost or when it'll ship, but it'll be out this side of summer. We'll bring you a full review when Asus sends us one.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y710

Lenovo designed the 17-inch widescreen IdeaPad Y710 notebook PC for users who desire a high level of performance for entertainment.

Equipped with Intel Centrino processor technology, ATI graphics, WLAN connectivity, five speakers including a subwoofer, the IdeaPad Y710 notebook caters to the entertainment enthusiast.

Details:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 and T9300
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
Screen: 17" widescreen WXGA VibrantView (1400x900)
Video Card: ATI HD2600 256MB DDR2
HD: 250GB 5400rpm or 500GB (250GBx2)
RAM: 2x1GB (4GB max)
Optical: DVD-Burner or Blu-Ray DVD
Webcam: 1.3MP
Sound: four speakers, one subwoofer
Network: 10/100 Ethernet, Intel 4965AGN wireless
Weight: 7.9lbs
Size: 15.5 x 11.2 x 1.02-1.53”
Warranty: 1 year system/1 year battery
Battery: 6 Cell, up to 4 hrs
Ports: four USB, HDMI, Firewire, VGA, S-Video, 6-in-1 Card reader, Expresscard, Mic/ Headphone jacks

Initially I was very pleased when I got this unit. I agree more or less with the positive comments in other reviews. However this changed quickly when I realized the primary drive "C" was partitioned for only 30G, part of which was already consumed by the restore data. Bummer!! I called Lenovo, hoping maybe I had gotten a previously owned unit and that this was not the way they ship normally, whereby I would just exchange the unit. I was advised that they do indeed ship configured in this way, and that furthermore trying to increase the partition size for the C drive would void the warrany! I actually did try to use the extend partition feature in Vista to try to "extend" the C drive partition(make it bigger), but the "extend" option was grayed out, not available! This issue is a deal-killer for me. The other two cons mentioned above are not too serious from my viewpoint. If this is no issue for you then go for it as the unit so far seems otherwise OK!
