There's no doubt about it, the 6930P is ideal for the road warrior. Not only does its 14.1in screen size straddle the fence when it comes to user comfort and portability, its battery life is stellar. But what's most impressive about the EliteBook is ...

Sony VAIO VGN-Z16GN/B

Toshiba Qosmio X300

ASUS M50VM-AS001G
