    Fujitsu LifeBook T1010

    The Fujitsu T1010 has tablet features and a somewhat striking price point, but the rest of the package feels a bit lifeless.

  • Lexus RX400h (2006)

    Lexus RX400h (2006)

    For those craving a luxury four-wheel drive with an emphasis on luxury rather than cornering elan, then the RX400h is a good choice. It's about as much four-wheel drive as many of us will ever need, and its fuel thrift is pleasing too.

  • Canon EOS 50D

    Canon EOS 50D

    The 50D is remarkably similar to the 40D in terms of performance, looks and features — but if you can spare the extra cash, it's a much nicer package.
