Mega-large, barely portable computers continue to trickle onto the market. I mean, you just can't call yourself a real computer company unless you have at least a 20-incher to sell, right? HP's venture into the realm of desk-crushing notebooks arrives in the form of the HDX Dragon (aka the HD2000), which is easily the most sophisticated and powerful monster laptop released to date. Clearly designed with entertainment in mind, the HDX's display has dual swivels, making it easy to position its 20.1-inch, dual-backlit screen for optimal viewing of HD-DVDs or broadcast TV (analog and digital tuners are built in). Four built-in speakers and a subwoofer bust out big sounds, while the pop-out remote control lets you manage all this power from the couch. What's next: 32-inch notebooks?

Snazzy touch-sensitive buttons control media options and system settings. HDMI and eSATA out ports. 15.5 pounds - not as heavy as you might think.
