Hands-on with Sony Vaio CR20, TZ20 and AR50 laptops

Last on our list of laptops to lust after is the AR50 desktop-replacement range, which comes tripped-out with a Blu-ray Disc drive, an HD Ready 17-inch display, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 500GB hard disk, Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics and Windows Vista Ultimate. It also comes with a DVB-T/analogue TV tuner if you're into the old-fangled broadcast TV thing.

It has to be said that we loved this laptop. Though with the top-spec model costing £2,000, we damn well should do, and so should you. It's a beautifully built model with a screen quality matching an HDTV, and better still is that it'll play your 1080p Blu-ray DVDs -- as well as edit your 1080p HD content and burn it to blank 50GB Blu-ray discs.

The AR50 models are available for pre-order now from Sony's Web site. -Nate Lanxon
