AJP M555N-E Napa laptop stirs our loins

The Apple MacBook Pro is an impressive piece of kit. Not only is it built using the best laptop components available to man, beast or highly evolved alien life-form, but it also looks good enough to lick.

We've seen a couple of Windows-based laptops that use similar, if slightly faster processors than those of the MacBook Pro, but none have looked nice enough to have Crave ogling like pubescent schoolgirls at a Justin Timberlake concert. Until today.

The AJP M555N-E is a visual stunner. Silver laptops have been done to death, but this has a premium feel thanks to its alternating brushed and pressed aluminium highlights.

It's not all about looks though: the M555N-E uses the latest Centrino technology (Napa) to provide a good blend of raw performance, great connectivity and long battery life. Crave's test machine uses a 1.8GHz Intel Core Duo processor (just like the fastest MacBook Pro), plus 1GB of RAM and a 15-inch screen -- and the best part is that it'll only set you back £1,000.

We're off to Crave's secret underground facility to examine it more closely. Watch out for a full review shortly. -RR
