review

One day, consumers will be able to slide a 27-inch laptop into a portfolio briefcase. That may not be as crazy as it sounds. The notion of 20-inch laptops flooding the market was inconceivable at one point, but that didn't stop Acer from launching the Aspire 9805WKHi, it has Dell believing in its XPS M2010, and apparently, HP believes in 20-inch monsters, too. The HP Pavilion HDX9000 joins the league of extraordinary laptops with its own door-frame-defying 20-inch screen. It's a luxurious video arcade center that caters to video professionals and gamers who can part ways with $4,250 (direct). Everyone else will drool over the new Intel Centrino Duo components and the high-end ATI graphics.
