BEST PERFORMANCE LAPTOP

If you still think that laptops are only for high-flying executives trudging through spreadsheets on the train, then rock’s Xtreme CTX Pro will flip your view on its head, while simultaneously forcing you to think through the practicalities of playing Oblivion while lying on the sofa.

While many laptops struggle with the demands of today’s games, the Xtreme CTX Pro sports an awesome GeForceGo 7900 GTX, which laughs at the challenge. Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Prey and F.E.A.R., didn’t dip below 30fps on this machine at its 17in screen’s native resolution of 1,680 x 1,050, and we were able to enable some AA and AF too.

The laptop also has a 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, bringing all the benefits of the Core 2 desktop chip, which clocked up an amazing score of 1.41 in our benchmarks. As such, you could use this laptop for just about any task, and it comes with Windows XP Media Centre Edition too.
