HP Pavilion dv7 2022tx

RRP: $2499.00

If you're looking for a stylish notebook to replace your space-hogging PC, the HP Pavilion dv7 2022tx is a good choice. It looks good, it's comfortable to use, it performed well in our tests, and has a lot of connectivity options.

Lenovo ThinkPad T400s

RRP: $3599.00

Despite the slow wireless networking and the lack of a dedicated graphics card, the 14.1in size, light weight, thin frame and advanced features combine to make the Lenovo ThinkPad T400s the perfect laptop for corporate high-flyers. We give it 5 stars and heartily recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a well-performing and solidly constructed slim-profile notebook.

Apple MacBook Pro (13in)

RRP: $2399.00

The 13in Apple MacBook has gone Pro, with more memory, beefier processors and an embedded battery that outlasts similar-sized notebooks we've tested. We would prefer an option for a more powerful graphics card though.

Apple MacBook Pro

RRP: $3699.00

Apple's latest MacBook Pro features improved internal components and now comes with an SD card slot at the expense of an ExpressCard slot. The superb aluminium design remains the same and performance is pretty impressive on the whole.

Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds

RRP: $8199.00

If you're a designer or graphics artist who needs plenty of screen space and processing power, and the ability to take that power easily to a remote location, the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is worthy of consideration.

Lenovo ThinkPad W700 (275854M)

RRP: $4199.00

The Lenovo ThinkPad W700 (275854M) is a fast and feature-packed workstation with a very effective graphics processor. However, this notebook is let down by the use of a 5400rpm hard drive.

Lenovo ThinkPad W700 (27585GM)

RRP: $6399.00

This is a very fast workstation that features a small Wacom digitiser built into the right palm rest and the latest networking technology. But with its very heavy weight and sky-high price tag, users will need to decide if its worth buying this instead of two similarly fast PCs.

HP HDX 18

RRP: $3199.00

Don't even think about using this notebook on the road; it's strictly for those who require a desktop replacement with home entertainment features. It has Blu-ray, HDMI and a high-definition screen. Even though it's a fast unit, it doesn't even have the fastest gizzards on the market.

Dell Precision M6400

RRP: $6440.90

For users who run engineering, design or animation programs, this mobile workstation is a worthwhile choice. It's very fast, and the best part is you won't be shackled to your desk and will be able to use the same machine either at home or in the office.

Apple MacBook Pro

RRP: $3199.00

Apple’s greenest notebook ever is also one of its best. The MacBook Pro is overpriced, but you certainly get a powerful and exquisitely designed machine for your hard-earned cash. It’s not perfect, but using it is a largely positive experience on the whole.

Zepto Nox A15

RRP: $2500.00

A big screen resolution, fast performance and a stylish design make this notebook a fine choice for home and business use — and even for some gaming.

HP Compaq 8510p

RRP: TBA

With plenty of power under the hood, the 8510p is perfect for pretty much any type of office work. It's very comfortable to use, has plenty of ports and long battery life. It's squarely aimed at the business market.

ASUS M70SA

RRP: $3699.00

There's a lot to this notebook, and while it works great for the most part, it could still use a little refinement, especially with regards to its video input ports. Overall though, it's a great media centre notebook and it does have tremendous storage capacity.
