The Apple MacBook Pro MC375D strengths are mobility, VGP-BPS13/S an outstanding case, quiet system noise and excellent input devices. The 13.3 inch has gained significantly in graphics performance due to the Geforce 320M. The processor performance, supplied by the old Core 2 Duo P8800, still is behind the latest Core i5s. The battery life of 4:30 hours could be increased due to the somewhat larger battery and more economical GeForce 320M. The drawbacks are still the poor connectivity, omitted UMTS/WiMax and lack of matt display option.VGP-BPS13AS

Actually, principally from the same manufacturer, but then majorly the less expensive entry alternative with 2.4 GHz, as well as the white MacBook is worth looking at. Soonest, the stronger and more expensive Sony Vaio Z11 with Core i processors and dedicated GT 330M graphics in the Windows World.sony vgp-bps22

Acer provides a swift 15.6 incher with the Aspire TimelineX 5820TG-5464G75Mnks. sony vgp-bps22a It has a lot of power inside. Once again, the fast midrange ATI HD 5650 supplies good frame rates in the gaming field. The base unit's, lid's and input devices' workmanship is very good, or at least adequate.sony vgp-bps21a/b The latter applies to the feedback poor mouse pad keys and the keyboard's somewhat imprecise typing feel. The battery life struggles to achieve 3:33 hours with the HD 5650 that can be deactivated (WLAN surfing). A good result, even if Acer's forecasted eight hours remain unreachable in practical use. sony vgp-bps21/s

If you are aiming at the ATI HD 5650, you should look at Acer's Aspire 4820TG Timeline X, Dell's Studio 1749, Acer's Aspire 8942G, TravelMate 5740G-524G50MN, TravelMate 7740G, Toshiba's Satellite L670D-120, L650D-10H and Sony's Vaio VPC-EB1S1E/BJ.sony vgp-bps21b

Case, input devices and graphics performance are still looking for their equals in the 11.6 inch category.sony vgp-bps21 The obsolete Core 2 Duo SU9400 is considerably slower in comparison to cutting edge Core i5 ULV processors. Nevertheless, you won't find notebooks with faster processors at the moment. Even the almost inaudible system noise without high load is definitely a bonus point. The insufficient upgrade possibilities and omitted UMTS modem have to be noted on the con side. It's also a pity that Apple doesn't use AR coated displays.sony vgp-bps21a

As usual for Apple unibody notebooks - design, build quality, and material quality.

There isn't really any. The closest one would be the Sony Vaio X13, which has a much worse performance though.Sony VGP-BPS13

There is strong,Sony VGP-BPS13A/Q standard equipment in the device: a strong Core i5-520M (2x2.4 GHz, Turbo Boost, Hyperthreading) and the Geforce GT 330M (but downclocked). But first and foremost, the Raid 0 configuration of two 64GB Toshiba SSDs makes it to a performance master. The Z12M9E/B placed itself in the top range of the system benchmark,Sony VGP-BPS13A/B PCMark Vantage and PCMark05. The docking port, high-end input devices, the installed 4G module, the excellent matt display and high-end manufacturing backs the business category. The battery life of three hours (WLAN surfing) is adequate, but not especially good.Sony VGP-BPS13/B

The RAID 0 SSDs absolutely destroy our idea of a good system performance. Flash pockets the rotating colleagues.Sony VGP-BPS13B/B

Acer Travelmate 8472TG: 14 inches with a GT 330M; Asus PL30JT-RO030X: i5-520UM alternative with a 6 hour battery life; Lenovo Thinkpad X201: 12.1 inches with i5-540M; HP EliteBook 2540p: solid build and with ultimate connectivity; Acer Travelmate 8172T-33U4G32N: 11.6 inches with i3-330UMSony VGP-BPS13B/Q
