Latest Luxury Laptops Storm Into Contention

Three other notebooks were tested this month. All had some interesting features, but various shortcomings kept them off the chart.
The ABS Mayhem G4 Revolution fell just short of our all-purpose list. This gaming notebook's ability to flip between an nVidia GeForce Go 6600 graphics chip and its Intel integrated graphics is unique, but its battery life of 2.5 hours was less than stellar.
We also looked at Gateway's new Tablet PC, the CX200X. Although this model was too slow and heavy to make our Top 10 ranking, we found its 14-inch wide screen impressive.
A fourth notebook tested, the WinBook A710, came nicely loaded with features including a 17-inch wide screen and with an attractively low price ($1100), but usability problems with its keyboard pulled down its ranking.

HP Envy Luxury Laptop

f 2008 was the year of the netbook, 2009 was the year of the luxury laptop.  After a flurry of tiny, basic notebooks rushed out the year before, manufacturers like Dell, HP and others kicked out sexy, top-of-the-line computing powerhouses.  The HP Envy Luxury Laptop  is a prime example, featuring an Intel Core i-7 processor, a Blu Ray player, 1080p playback and a premium ATI Radeon graphics processor.  The design itself is minimal, refined, but it might be a bit too similar to the latest Macbook Pro design for some.  Either way, it’s a step in the sexy direction for HP


Custom Laptop Designs

Former Alienware product development engineer Oscar Zapata launched a new company this week, called NVousPC (very clever!) that customizes laptops with any color paint or image you want. You can choose different colors for each part of the laptop, including bottom, and upload images to their website to be printed on. If you don't buy a new computer from them (starting at $999), you can send in your old piece for a paintjob as well (starting at $186). Or you can just send it to me along with $8 and I'll hook you up with some sweet holographic unicorn stickers, maybe a few garbage pail kids, and top it off with some scratch and sniffs for good measure.
