Apple Macbook Pro (15-inch)

What are they?
Mainstream notebooks deliver what most buyers are looking for in a portable: a screen that's not too small or too bis, a CPU that's powerful but that doesn't kill battery life, a chassis that's easy to carry but that doesn't make you forego a comfortable keyboard and on-board optical drive. In short, an all-purpose laptop is just right.

Who are they for?
Essentially, if a machine isn't intended for a niche buyer-someone looking for a tablet, an ultraportable, a desktop replacement, a budget model, and so on-it's a mainstream laptop. you'll find models tailored for business users, home PC buyers, students, and multimedia enthusiasts.

Gaming Notebooks

What are they?

A gaming notebook puts 3D graphics performance above all else. That means a powerful GPU (or two) and top-of-the-line CPU, of course, but also fast memory and hard-drive subsystems. A large LCD with fast response times and good grayscale performance (to better render shadow detail) in also a must, and a good audios system doesn't hurt.

Who are they for?

Truth be told, the fastest desktop PC will always outpace the fastest laptop when it comes to 3D frame rates. So if you're stationary, get a desktop, but for those who need the convenience of a portable form factor-be it to take to LAN parties or from room to room-several "boutique" PC makers have portables designed just for you.

Toshiba Responds: Blu-Ray On the Way?


Toshiba was the first to get back to me about what it is expecting to do with its HD-DVD laptops. I guess their people had the most time to think about the answer. Either way, here is Toshiba's response to our question. The answers in italics are NOT official comments of Toshiba; they are what we anticipate they really wanted to answer.

Is Toshiba planning on discontinuing HD-DVD drives in its laptops?

Yes.( We apologize to the suckers who bought our nice looking systems with HD drives. We hope you like old movies.)

When will Toshiba stop selling computers with HD drives?

No confirmed date yet. (We plan to keep them on the market until we sell out. We wasted a whole lot of money an this HD-DVD thing. Maybe we can still fool the late adopters.)

And switch to Blu-Ray?

Toshiba will explore alternative HD options for its customers. (It will take us months before we can actually say "alternative to HD-DVD" without crying. The format that starts with a B and ends with a Ray will be available sometime soon in our laptops.)
