Even if there weren’t a lot of Aura laptops launched since last year, the few models that were released so far are decent enough. The just-announced R410 model seems to be no exception. It features a 14.1-inch, 1,280 x 800 display, Intel’s latest 45nm Penryn CPUs, ATI Radeon Xpress 1250M graphics, a DVD burner, a 1.3 megapixel , built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, and a welcome ExpressCard slot.

It weights a little over five pounds, and its price starts at ?499 (or about $1,000). The R410 will hit Europe in May, so you don’t have to wait a lot of time.
