With the 20.1 inches screen this machine will be exactly according to the requirements of the peoples who want serious multimedia power in a quasi-portable form factor. It is not just a notepad it is TV, DVD player and Computer as well.

The performance of this Note pad is extra ordinarily good as it is a clearly dominating the gaming aspect. The sound is considered to be the best ever sound of a notepad.

2. Apple MacBook Pro 17“

Carved from a single block of aluminum, the MacBook Pro is a true engineering achievement. Its unibody enclosure is the product of precise machining. This machine has acquired the new level of gaming by the high speed and high-end game-playing power. The graphic are also superb.

Performance:

Each MacBook Pro comes standard with a large hard drive with up to 500GB of storage capacity, so there’s plenty of room for your photo libraries, video projects, and files.  With the MacBook Pro, Apple hasn’t radically redesigned the PowerBook form factor; it has just made a few refinements to it. Measuring 15.4 inches wide, 10.4 inches deep, and 1 inch thick, the sleek, aluminum MacBook Pro looks very similar to the 17-inch PowerBook G4 it replaces.

3. Alienware Area-51 M17

Alienware’s latest gaming laptop behemoth has landed in the US, and the Area-51 m17 should be plenty powerful enough to play the latest titles. The recent Alienware M17X had a radical (for Alienware) redesign, with a matte black all-over finish that made the entire thing look like an imposing slab of high-frame-rate granite.

Performance:

Run your fingers above the keyboard on your M17x and you won’t feel a thing. Your laptop however, will. The most stunning graphics have made this machine fantastic for use. It is just a gaming zone with pretty intense speed. The 2-megapixel webcam provided decent images but was nothing to write home about. The sound output was ample enough to accommodate building-shattering booms and the steady burst of fire for all the explosive games we tested, without sounding tinny.

• Weight: 9.5lbs
• Optical storage type: DVD+/-RW – Integrated
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz
• Video-Total Available Graphics Memory: 1 GB (2 x 512 MB)

Performance:

The new design makes it wall-mountable too, and there are a few audio outputs, including SPDIF, in case you want to hook up to a larger home cinema stack instead of using the integrated speakers. It’s as near silent running as possible, and to complement the true HD specs of the screen there’s a slot-loading Blu-ray drive hidden away on the right.

Specifications:

• Resolution: 1920 x 1200 pixel
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
• Memory: 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD

5. Dell XPS Studio 16

The Dell Studio XPS 16 is designed for those who want power, cutting-edge features, and style. If you’re someone who likes to make a statement with your notebook, the metal and leather looks of the Studio XPS 16 will help you in that area too.

Performance:

Images looked sharp on the laptop’s RGB LED screen. Only if you don’t have bright daylight which bounces off the colorful and glossy display. The sound of the Studio XPS 16, on the other hand, falls a little flat. Two speaker grilles flank the keyboard.
