Dell Vostro 1720

RRP: $2810.00

The Dell Vostro 1720 is a well-rounded machine and should suit any business user who wants large notebook with a high resolution display instead of a space-hogging PC and monitor setup. Don't bank on it for good 3D graphics performance though.

Dell Adamo 13

RRP: $3699.00

There is beauty to be found in the Dell Adamo (Admire), but most of it is only skin-deep. With an RRP of $3699, it’s simply far too expensive for the specs on offer. Only fashion junkies need apply.

MSI PX600

RRP: $2020.00

The MSI PX600 notebook has an attractive design and powerful components. It also has plenty of ports, such as eSATA and HDMI. We weren't particularly pleased with its keyboard, however.

Toshiba Portege M800 (PPM81A-08S01S)

RRP: $1999.00

The Toshiba Portege M800 (PPM81A-08S01S) is a fast and portable notebook that has lots of expansion ports, but its Sakura Pink colour scheme draws a lot of attention. However, if you want a good 13.3in laptop and you don't mind the bright pink chassis, it is definitely worth considering.

Sony VAIO VGN-Z17GN/B

RRP: $3699.00

The Sony VAIO VGN-Z71GN/B has both style and substance. It looks good and it has a speedy CPU and plenty of RAM. It's also very light and comfortable to use, as long as you don't have the NVIDIA graphics enabled.

Toshiba Tecra R10 (PTRB3A-001002

RRP: $3300.00

If you're a business user who is after a fast yet light notebook and don't want to invest in a small ultraportable, the Toshiba Tecra R10 is ideal. Despite weighing only 1.9kg, it has a 14.1in screen, a built-in DVD burner and plenty of processing power for any type of office application.

Toshiba Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-09Y01N)

RRP: $2199.00

The Toshiba Satellite A300 is comfortable to use, looks good, and has plenty of ports. It's performance was a little slow in our CPU tests, but overall it's a great laptop for the home or office.

Lenovo ThinkPad T400 6473TBM

RRP: $2299.00

It might not look pretty, but the Lenovo ThinkPad T400 6473TBM sure feels good to use. You should definitely consider it if you want a laptop that will be comfortable to use either on the road or in the office and you don't need a lot of speed for taxing tasks.

Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 274634M

RRP: $1899.00

The Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 274634M is an all-purpose laptop that provides plenty of processor power and connectivity, but it lacks the portability and the storage needed to be great.

Dell Studio XPS 13

RRP: $2797.00

The Dell Studio XPS 13 looks good and it is a good performer. However, this notebook produces a lot of heat and has some problems with its installed audio driver. Go for it if you want plenty of speed along with portability, but be sure to disable its stacsv.exe process and watch out for the heat while it's on your lap.

Toshiba Satellite A350 (PSAL6A-059016B)

RRP: $2299.00

The Toshiba Satellite A350 (PSAL6A-059016B) is a powerful and well-priced desktop replacement laptop with a wide variety of ports and a good 16in screen.

ASUS F6V-3P182E

RRP: $1599.00

Even though we respect ASUS for being innovative with its notebook designs, the ASUS F6V-3P182E with its "musk" scent is too whiffy. But if you can get past the smell, a decent 13.3in notebook can be yours for $1599.

Panasonic Toughbook CF-52

RRP: $2999.00

For demanding users who tend to miss their mouth while they sip, or for anyone who is always using their notebook on the road, the semi-rugged Toughbook CF-52 is a worthy proposition. But it won't withstand everything you throw at it.

Lenovo IdeaPad U330

RRP: $2999.00

The Lenovo IdeaPad U330 is a device with lots going for it. Apart from the excellent keyboard, strong hardware and attractive design, the unit also has a great screen and a large variety of ports. Unfortunately, this quality is reflected in its high price tag.
