Beauty and the Beast: Two Power Laptops to Love

PC World Video
Senior editor Darren Gladstone takes a look at two powerful laptops, the Sony VAIO VGN-FW198U/H and the Micro Express JFL9226. Both devices use Intel's Centrino processor and have roughly the same hardware specs, but the two PCs are visual opposites. One of them is a fantastic performer that achieved a very impressive score in our Worldbench tests, while the other has a great widescreen LCD screen that's perfect for viewing movies.
