Dell has pushed the boat out with the Inspiron 8600. With a 1.7GHz Pentium M CPU, an 80GB hard disk, an ATi Mobility Radeon graphics chipset and an amazing high-resolution screen, this is a notebook to be reckoned with.

If you want to build an Athlon 64 system but don’t want a huge tower case under your desk, Biostar has the answer. The i-DEC is a small form factor PC that’s stylish, feature packed and ready to accommodate AMD’s 64bit baby.

Once again IBM proves that it knows how to make good notebooks. The new T41 is a beautifully made slim line notebook with IBM’s usual high-quality ergonomics. If you want a notebook that’s a joy to work on and don’t crave a high-resolution screen, the T41 could be perfect.

The iHP-120 is a hard disk based MP3 player in the same mould as the Apple iPod and Philips HDD100. With 20GB of storage and loads of features it should give the competition a run for its money.

The Acer Aspire 2003WLMi is a well featured multimedia notebook at a very attractive price. But there’s more to a notebook computer than the features and price tag.
