What is it:
High-end, 18.4-inch desktop-replacement laptop

Typical price:
£1,000

We like:
Excellent performance; solid specification; stylish design

We don't like:
Screen is rather lacklustre; some keyboard flex

The judgement:
The Vaio VGN-AW41MF/H is a luscious behemoth with plenty of muscle, and comes at a more reasonable price than some similar Sony machines. We'd heap more praise on it if its screen were crisper, but that doesn't detract too much from a highly capable desktop-replacement laptop
