If you're after a fully-featured desktop replacement with "all the trimmings", the HP HDX 16 delivers on pretty much every level and represents superb value for money. In fact, we can't think of any reasonable reason not to buy it. Read full review

Three of the best Mid to high end Laptops

  1. Lenovo ThinkPad X220 side

    Lenovo ThinkPad X220

    Our rating:
    9/10

    Lenovo’s 12in ThinkPad X220 is one of the best ultraportable laptops available, with a great keyboard, excellent IPS screen and extras including 3G.

  2. Samsung Series 9 900X3B

    Our rating:
    9/10

    Thin, light, beautiful and feature-packed; this is simply the best 13in notebook we've ever reviewed.

  3. Samsung Series 7 Chronos 700Z5A

    Our rating:
    9/10

    Lighter than the 15in MacBook Pro yet packing better specs for nearly half the price, the metal-clad 700Z5A is an all-round champion.

I don't quite see how you can give this HP a 10 for value. You reviewed it at £869.99 but the latest price is £975? Also the Sony FW21M which is also available for under £900 (also at John Lewis for £975) also has a Blu-Ray writer, a faster processor and a larger hard drive.

£869.99 is the price as reviewed, it's just not in our shopping database. Check out Laskys and you'll see it.

Acer 6935G, for £100+ more you can get a 2.53Ghz 6mb Cache C2D and a 7200 rpm HDD. Worth it?

This really seems the best of the bunch and after weeks of research it's time to commit. But hang on ... HP's website offers a newer version: HP HDX X16-1101EA Premium Notebook PC (FV720EA) and apparently no one is selling this yet. Worth waiting for?

You're just talking stats. There's so much more to what makes a good laptop than just how big the hard drive is or how fast the processor is.

@Ed





Completely agree, however you cant really compare laptops on style/screen size or multimedia controls (etc...) as they are subjective, so comparing "stats" is the only Sure way of comparison (as the Acer 6935g is also 16" and shares many of the same features as the HP-HDX).





With all due respect, I refuse to rely purely on reviews and IF the Acer 6935G reviewed was the LX.ATQ0X.038 model, this HP-HDX review would probably be much different.





Obelisk, I have been searching for a laptop too so I am only trying to help. What are your thoughts on the LX.ATQ0X.038?

practicalites such as the key pad are a swing decision maker, but I'm afraid the Acer's 'Cine Dash' is an eyesore too far.





Having checked it appears the HDX 16-1101EA version has a Blu ray writer.
