Top 10 notebooks of February

/**/ Most Popular Notebooks Comparing last month's and this month's top 10 most popular notebooks, it becomes blatantly clear that predicting which category of portable will be the most popular amongst our readers is an exercise in futility. January saw budget notebooks rank highly, but in February desktop replacements snagged many of our spots. Ultra-portables also faired well. Dell continues to be the dominant brand, with two of its offerings snagging the number 1 and 3 spots on our list. Got a notebook that you think could make our top 10 but can't find it on the website? Please leave your feedback and review suggestions here. Note: Results are based on readership statistics for each product. Five most popular | Next five 1. Dell Inspiron 9400 Tricked out with the fastest mobile components available, the Inspiron 9400 is a true multimedia powerhouse. Be prepared to lay down a large chunk of cash, however. Reader Opinion I didn't know what to expect really. I knew it would be a nice bit of kit though and I haven't been disappointed. It's quick and quiet. For a desktop replacement its surprisingly portable. Serious all round users will not be disappointed. Read first take | See images | Rate this 2. Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 Toshiba's Satellite Pro P100 is a competent multimedia workhorse that could easily replace most regular desktop PCs. Reader Opinion By far the most feature-rich desktop replacement notebook i've seen yet! Read review | See images | Rate this 3. Dell Inspiron 630m (14.1-inch, 1.6GHz) Dell's Inspiron 630m is undoubtedly the king of the budget notebook hill. Its battery life blitzes the competition, whilst its performance and features are also top notch. Reader Opinion Bought one of these earlier in the year as a first notebook and I must say I am extremely impressed. Standout features are the extraordinary battery life (especially with the 9-cell battery) and the quality of the speakers. Contrary to what the review states Bluetooth and DVD-RW are both available as an upgrade for a small price. The only downsides are that the instant-on features weren't avaialable when I purchased my unit and the overall weight of the unit with the 9-cell battery in it. Other than that it's an excellent buy! Read review | See images | Rate this 4. ASUS V6J The glossy white casing is certainly unique. Though equipped with a dedicated graphics card on the previous Centrino chipset, the performance of this unit is unfortunately only average. Reader Opinion The ASUS V6J is a reasonably compact thin-and-light notebook that has the added bonus of being quite powerful as well. Read review | See images | Rate this 5. Asus A6J The ASUS A6J's outdated chassis is incongruent with its use of the latest dual-core Yonah processor on Intel's new Centrino platform. Reader Opinion A little heavy, but it's great for gaming and I love the integrated web cam!

Lenovo ThinkPad X60 The X60's lightweight yet rugged design, advanced security features and great warranty make it ideal for the mobile professional.

Toshiba M40 The M40 boasts an impressive array of the latest notebook technologies, especially for those with a multimedia bent, although it could do with running a little quieter and cooler. Reader Opinion I went to buy a new notebook about 6 months ago and actually baught a Dell Inspiron 6000 but found it had a some wierd third party software for resizing images in IE and it didn't actually work properly. So I returned that and went searching high and low for another notebook. I should have just gone to Toshiba in the first place - when it comes to notebooks they are the best. I got the M40 with 2GHz CPU and 1Gb RAM and I love it. The machine performs brilliantly would highly recommend it Read review | See images | Rate this 8. Toshiba Qosmio G30 The Toshiba Qosmio G30 is the most feature-rich home entertainment notebook we've seen to date, bar none. Reader Opinion An awesome notebook. I'm yet to see a model with better multimedia features! Read first take | See images | Rate this 9. Acer TravelMate 8200 From a performance perspective, the fast Acer TravelMate 8200 does Intel's new Core Duo processor proud--but its mediocre battery is hardly the five hours Intel promised. Reader Opinion Simply Awesome, best all-round laptop ever! Read review | See images | Rate this 10. HP Compaq Business Notebook nx6120 Students going for affordability and connectivity options could give this a go. Reader Opinion looks r great very light great features with a good brandname n at an affordable rate good wireless connectivity in short a laptop which fills all the needs of an engineering student Read review | See images | Rate this Five most popular | Next five Sign up to CNET.com.au's free weekly newsletters to keep you up to date with the latest notebooks, mobile phones, gadgets, games and downloads.
