For the first time in the last 5 years, you tear your eyes away from the addictive glow of your screen and you are shocked to see your hair has grown down to your feet. You find moldy food and chips packets lying around, the room's a mess and you have forgotten what it's like to have the sun on your face.
I don't blame you; I blame your horrible desktop computer. Now let's look at the better alternatives.

SONY VAIO VGN-AR11S
Toshiba has long since dominated the market of Media Centre Notebooks, but it looks like Sony's taking no more chances.

Dressed with Microsoft's Media Center Edition, including a Full High Definition (HD) compatible 17 inch screen, added with a whooping 256 MB Nvidia GeForce 7600 graphics chipset and Sony's trademark Blu-ray drive that supports up to 1080p HD content, the VGN-AR11S is like a monster that's locked away in a sleek black box.
The screen is finished with Sony's X-Black coating and the result is a pin sharp, evenly lit image with rich and vibrant colours.

But the icing on the cake has to be the HDCP enabled HDMI port, which means that not only will you be able to enjoy Blu-ray movies on the excellent 17 inch internal screen, but you'll also be able to watch them on your high definition TV in the living room.

On the downside, it doesn't come with Intel's latest Core 2 Duo range of processors, but the second-fastest of the current Intel Core Duo CPUs -- the 2GHz Intel T2500. The processor is supported by a 1GB of RAM, which is satisfactory, but I would have preferred to have seen at least a 2GB or more in a machine like this.
All in all, a solid notebook with excellent entertainment features.

HP PAVILION DV2560EA
The HP Pavilion dv2560ea is the perfect desktop replacement that will keep you entertained as well as help you get some work done. When it comes to design, it's usually Apple that gets all of the attention, but after seeing this latest model by HP, I can't help but feel that it's a little unfair that Apple gets all the glory. This top-of-the-line model from HP's consumer range has been dubbed as an entertainment notebook and as such, it accounts for the extremely alluring glossy finish on the lid, the screen and throughout.
The screen is a modest 14 inch, with a standard 1280 x 800 resolution but is not HD compatible. The speakers, branded by Altec Lansing are unusually good for a notebook PC. The dv2560ea is designed for the occasional gamer, and concentrates more on practical features such as connectivity and performance. Equipped with Intel's Core 2 Duo T7300, running at 2.0GHz and an ample 2GBs of RAM (non- expandable), and featuring nifty additions such as a webcam and a fingerprint reader, the HP pavilion dv2560ea is an excellent value for money.

APPLE MACBOOK PRO
Nobody would put it past Apple to come up with a notebook that's better than MacBook Air but the manufacturers at Apple does just that with the MacBook Pro. That's right,
Apple has cooked up another tasty offering in the form of the 17 inch, ultra sleek and powerful notebook that raises the bar on its predecessor with the latest Core 2 Duo T7700 processor and a maximum 4GB of RAM.
This scorching model comes with a dual feature for running both the Macintosh and Windows operating system.
Apple hasn't forgotten the gamers either packed with nVidia's new top-of-the-line notebook graphics card, the nVidia GeForce 8600M GT, the machine achieved a blazing frame rate of 141 frames per second in Far Cry (with antialiasing turned off!!!)
The screen itself is impressive with its high dot pitch and fantastic brightness - the OS was really designed for this kind of size, and everything looks razor sharp. And the backlit keyboard is extremely handy when typing in the dark.
However, the keyboard is rather spongy and lacks the decent 'click' action and the extremely high price will surely set you back quite a bit.
Overall, it's a combination of raw power, style and expensive aluminum.
