 Review summary Despite its middling battery life and performance, the Ferrari 3000LMi will appeal to those looking for a thin-and-light notebook with powerful features and distinctive design. More info Inspiron 9100 is probably one of the best notebooks around that can truly replace the desktop PC, offering speed and excellent 3D graphics performance. The fast, sturdy, and highly secure nc8000-series notebooks make excellent enterprise machines. One of the most feature-packed desktop replacements we have reviewed so far, the Satellite 5200-A751's powerful graphics processor and onboard DVD writer will appeal to multimedia-savvy users and gamers alike.
