Sony VAIO VGN-SZ61VN Notebook

As you would expect from SZ-series VAIO, the 13.3" SZ61VN laptop does not disappoint. With a Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB DDR2 667MHz SDRAM, a nVidia 8400M graphics card, this stylish notebook is as powerful as it gets. But you do have to pay a pretty significant price premium for it - at least if compared to the Dell XPS M1330.
