Product name	Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo processor 2.8GHz, 4GB, 15.4-inch TFT)	HP Pavilion dv2000 (Core Duo T2400 processor 1.83GHz, 1GB RAM)	Acer Ferrari One (Athlon X2 L310 Processor 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM)	HP Envy 15 (Core i7-720QM Processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8.2 Excellent	8 Excellent	9 Spectacular	CNET Asia editor's take
Review Summary	Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor tweaks to the previous version, but cutting prices and swapping the ExpressCard slot for an SD card slot are enough to make it a solid improvement over its predecessor.	HP's entertainment notebook not only delivers in features, but also goes the extra mile to redesigning the chassis to appeal to those with unconventional tastes.	The Acer Ferrari One's appearance will polarise opinion, but there's no denying it's the finest Netbook so far. It's quick, it's versatile and it's fabulously comfortable to use.	More info
