PC Magazine has rounded up four laptops that use the Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition 2005. As laptops become more powerful and offer comparable multimedia functionalities to desktop systems, they become a viable option as a MCE platform. Here’s an excerpt from PC Mag on the four systems:
Dell Inspiron 9300
“Dell’s first Media Center laptop is a high-end system that can record and broadcast TV, as well as handle other heavy-duty media tasks, like gaming. The family will be fighting over this one.”

Toshiba Qosmio G25-AV513
“It’s the best multimedia laptop we’ve seen, especially when it comes to integrating AV features. No other system comes close.”

Toshiba Qosmio F25-AV205
“It’s one of the lightest Media Center laptops we’ve seen. With its super-bright screen and good set of AV features, the F25 makes an ideal midrange multimedia notebook.”

Sony VAIO VGN-A690
“It’s a solid multimedia PC, and Sony’s VAIO Zone is as capable as Windows XP Media Center Edition, if not better in some respects. The newer components add some much needed horsepower.”
