Here are some models of interest.

Among the few ultrabooks available on the market recently, the Asus model that has most caught the eye. Its super slim design (less than 1, 7 cm thick) made ??of brushed aluminum for only 1.3 kg on the scale make it a must-have. For technical specifications are not left with a 13.3-inch LED display (1600 x 900 pixels), the Intel Core i5-2557M supported by 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of SSD storage.

Because sometimes you want to replace a bulky desktop PC with a laptop that can be stored in a minimum of space. Because we want to use this machine for multimedia (watch an episode of Big Bang Theory, among others) as to its accounts and Christmas shopping online or even start some games not too greedy and not put a fortune . Here are some laptops to watch in this catch-all category.

Dell XPS 14z
It has dragged on for several days in the writing and the XPS 14z is clearly one of the portable "all trades" who below € 1000, is envy. It has a look of MacBook Pro and is one of the finest 14''market (2.3 cm thick). In a chassis that has the dimensions of 13.3'', it hides a slab of 36 cm in 1366 x 768, and features a Core i5-2430M 2.4 GHz supported by 6 GB of DDR3. In addition to the integrated graphics chip, this notebook can count on a GeForce GT 520M supports the techno Optimus and assigns storage to a disk of 500 GB at 7200 r / min. All of which are configured directly on the shop Dell. The only thing missing last two options to make it an even more commendable: a higher resolution and an SSD. And if possible the same price! We dream? It is like this ...

HP Pavilion g7-1246sf
In a different price range, the HP Pavilion g7 probably deserves you to take a look if you want a laptop for comfortable viewing. Indeed, despite its size 17.3''(1600 x 900) it is accessible with the label of about € 460. Performance may not be back, with a Core i3-2330M (dual-core hyperthreaded 2.2 GHz 35W TDP), 4GB of DDR3 and Radeon HD 6470M 512 MB storage 500 GB displays (to 5400 r / min) and it ignores the USB 3.0, but the equipment is also correct that the finish of this machine simple and effective in this price range.

Toshiba Satellite P770-11L
For those a little more in and want to maintain a comfortable display that allows the laptop to "replace" a desktop, the Toshiba Satellite P770 is a good choice. We keep the slab in 1600 17.3''x 900, you pass the Core i7-2670QM (quad-core 2.2 GHz, 3.1 GHz Turbo, 6 MB cache, 45W TDP) and recovered the GeForce GT 520M Optimus, all with 4 GB of RAM and a 750 GB drive at 5400 r / min.

No selection of Christmas stuff that makes no dream. Machines that only the rich kids - really rich - have the right to unwrap under the tree. In this category of monsters that are so heavy and they leave little autonomy under almost phones, we splurged. History of a minimum stay down to earth, we selected an Asus ROG 17.3''whose label is close to the € 2000. Next, to finish off, we farted a cable by configuring a larger Alienware M18x over 5000 "E" as the young.

Asus ROG G74SX-TZ104V
Why the Asus ROG? Already because we like the design of the chassis and its bias toward a certain sobriety compared to machines "gamer" that compete with Christmas lights tamper-les-goose. But also because its data sheet is attractive while remaining on the bar (for this kind of phones) of € 2000. By signing this check, you'll get a Core i7-2630QM 2 GHz and 2.9 GHz in Turbo (4 cores, 8 threads, 6 MB cache, 45W TDP), 8 GB of DDR3 and a 160 GB SSD combined with a 500 GB HDD 7200 r / min. The slab-format 17.3''display 1080p images that sends a GeForce GTX 560M 3 GB and this laptop features a full keyboard chiclet style backlit. The design of the Asus ROG allows him to better dissipate the heat of intense gaming sessions with a suction of fresh air from below and a breakdown in the frame before it is discharged through the rear via two small fans at low speed. The equipment is no exception: WiFi, Bluetooth, card reader, webcam HD 720p, VGA + HDMI, the "HD" and THX support, plus three USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port. Get out your dumbbells, weighing 4.28 kg on G74SX With an 8-cell battery of 5200 mAh which should not make a very long time to empty full Battlefield 3!

Alienware M18x configured
Even if equipped with a very big computer gamer, go for it all and have fun. Dell, Alienware in the shop, the options add to the bill a few hundred dollars for each click ... the slot machine reversed! Playing this game, we had fun concocting a M18x (18.4''1080p) to over € 5,000 - far more powerful than the above-referenced models against - with its overclocked Core i7-2960XM at 2.7 GHz and 3.7 GHz in Turbo (four cores, 8 MB cache, 55W TDP), the duo Radeon HD 6990M CrosseFireX 2 GB, 8 GB RAM and 2 x 256 GB SSD in Raid 0. The mode while over-equipped with Blu-ray and everything you need. For colors and other aesthetic options (such AlienHead 3D ...), it lets you manage. But know that there is enough flash in all directions thanks to the many LED current. A portable alien!
