Dell has recently taken to announce a new addition to their laptop lineup, the Inspiron 17. This is a bit of a larger laptop than Dell’s other offerings as it features a LED backlit 17.3-inch display with a 1600×900 resolution.

As for specs, you’ll be able to choose from a 2GHz Pentium dual-core processor all the way up to a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo. The base model is configured with 2GB or Ram, integrated graphics, 160GB harddrive and Vista Home Basic. Best of all it ships with an extremely justifiable price tag of just $499.

If you’re looking to go a bit higher than said price that then you can opt for a Blu-ray drive, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 GPU with 256MB of dedicated RAM. Electronista reports that in September you will also be given the option of 512MB of dedicated video RAM along with a 1080p display.

When you talk about laptops, the Sony Vaio is certain to be among the tops brands one would think of.

The Sony VAIO SR390 can be one of the least expensive of the company’s ultraportable laptops but it also lacks the performance that can be found for less from other companies or with more features for the same cost.

It comes with a LED backlit display that provides some excellent color without producing too much glare from the glossy coating. The keyboard design is also very comfortable and easy to use.

The big problem with the VAIO SR390 is its cost. While it is relatively affordable for a Sony laptop, there are offerings from other brands that offer a similar level of features that cost less or provide even more features and performance for the same price. This makes the Sony really only a strong choice for those looking for a system with a very strong display or just have to own a Sony laptop.
