Dell Studio 15
Reviewed on June 26, 2008 Dell's first release from its new Studio line, the Studio 15, sits between the Inspiron and XPS lines and offers a good mix of features for the price, but we'd be tempted to save up a few extra dollars for a thinner, lighter XPS.

Toshiba Portege R500-S5003

Sony VAIO TXN17P/B
Reviewed on February 2, 2007 Sony adds Windows Vista to its ultraportable VAIO TXN17, which doesn't change much otherwise from its XP-based precursor.

HP Pavilion Slimline s3200t
Reviewed on November 16, 2007 The HP Pavilion Slimline s3200t offers perhaps the strongest bang for the buck we've ever seen thanks to its HD DVD/Blu-ray hybrid optical drive and its strong overall configuration.

Toshiba Qosmio F45-AV412
Reviewed on September 27, 2007 Toshiba's Qosmio F45-AV412 offers a wealth of multimedia features, but the HD DVD drive and subwoofer seem like overkill for a 15-inch laptop.
