Billed as a versatile entertainment laptop, it's an apt description for this desktop replacement. It features a comfortable 16-inch LED-backlit screen, so it's both bright and battery saving. The innards are impressive as well: Core i5 processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB hard drive at 7200 RPM, NVidia GT325M graphics, webcam, WiFI b, g, and n -- it all adds up to "sweet." No Blu-ray drive, as many so-called "entertainment" laptops currently have, but it does have the all-important HDMI output, so you can hook it up to an HDTV and use it as a media server -- sometimes, 16 inches of screen just is not enough.

The Sony F series represents efficiency and simplicity. This is a powerful computer that keeps the overhead low by cutting out some of the non-essentials. It also has a relatively modest screen at 16.4 inches, but the Sony F still comes packed with a Blu-Ray drive, quality Sony speakers, and a brilliant screen that has the ability to turn off and on via the flick of a switch.

And sometimes, for maximum entertainment, you need a really, really powerful laptop. This Toshiba has a somewhat gawdy design with chrome and red accents, but this laptop packs more gadgets and features than even a James Bond movie could accomplish. Featuring huge 18.4-inch screen, there is no question that both movies and games alike are going to come to life. Like it’s competition the Qosmio x505 features HD surround sound, offered by Harman Kardon, Blu-ray, advanced nVidia graphics, and Dolby technology. In the past there have been desktop-replacements, but never have I seen a home theater-replacement (including game consoles!) quite like the Qosmio can offer.
