Advantages: High speed, gorgeous, and easy to use
Disadvantages: Price, operating temperature

...I tell you this because Apple try to "screw you over" somewhat, as they offer three different models of the MBP. Let me explain. There are two versions of the 15.4" model, the second one having a 2.5GHz processor and a 250GB hard drive. The other difference you might notice if you look closely is that the processor cache size is 6MB not 3MB. Six is a bigger number than three, so the smaller one must be rubbish! This difference had me confused for ...
...anyway. That's enough gratuitous Apple bashing for now, I think. Most Apple products are expensive, but in this case I believe it really is worth it. All the applications are fast to run. It boots up quickly, shuts down quicker, and goes to sleep (and wakes up again!) in a well behaved manner. I've never had any problems with it running slowly, or even crashing for that matter. It comes with 2GB of RAM, which is plenty. If, like me, you can't bear ... Read review

Advantages: 17" Screen, Awesome Specs and a built in webcam
Disadvantages: Too much bundled software and it's also quite heavy.

...Software- 9/10 As usual Sony has bundled a lot of software with the AR51E including Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Premiere Elements and VAIO Camera Capture Utility, so you can capture videos and images using your built in webcam. The downside of this is that a lot of the software won't be used and in all it takes up about 12GB of your harddrive. The OS of this laptop is Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium. Portability- 7/10 As far as ...
...the VAIO is weighed down by it's 17" screen. Value- 8.5/10 At around £900 new these laptops aren't cheap, but for such a high spec laptop and the fact that it's made by a top brand like Sony, I think it's worth the money. Overall- 9.5/10 The Vaio AR51E may not be cheap, but it's a truly awesome laptop, with a 200GB HDD, 2GBRAM and Dual Core Processor, as well as the 17" screen the VAIO makes for optimum computing, while its not the type ...

Advantages: Functionality, Speed, Look
Disadvantages: Minimal

Having not owned an Apple product before, i took a leap of faith into the unknown when i decided to buy this version, now i've had it for over 2years and i am still impressed. Even now it doesn't seem outdated with its slim 14" screen, sleek apple touch keyboard, and white gloss finish. It comes as standard with a 'slot' style loading drive which saves time and potential breakages. The laptop comes with quite a few trick features including colour ...
...hard drive - incase you drop it! The only niggles on this model are the USB port being on the left side which can make apple mice a reach for right handed people and its clunky 'plastic' style click on the track buttons. For the money prepare to be impressed! ... Read review

Advantages: Dell, video card.
Disadvantages: none.

Dell XPS M1530 is a light weight and very good looking laptop. This laptop is great for hard core gaming at high levels and by saying gaming means that its also good for high or heavy softwares which don't work on any normal computer. Its weight is approximatily around 5.6 lbs. Video editing can be done on this laptop with great ease and comfort coz it is one of the main specification of the laptop. While it is also good for multimedia and burning ...
