Sony VAIO VGN-AR190G
This high-end multimedia machine is the first Sony laptop to feature Blu-ray optical technology, making it a good choice for those willing to shell out cash in exchange for High Definition video functionality. It also features a high-resolution widescreen display, excellent graphics performance, and a built-in TV tuner.
Despite its sleek design and ample multimedia features, however, this laptop probably isn’t the best choice for frequent travelers and/or business users, due to its short battery life, and colossal price tag.
