Reviews

  • Toshiba Satellite M200 (Core 2 Duo 1.5GHz, 1GB RAM)

    Toshiba's M200 feels great, but doesn't stand out against an oncoming slew of budget competitors.

  • Acer TravelMate 2483WXMi

    The TravelMate is clearly not the laptop for a power user -- nevertheless, at a budget price of $999 it has a very good feature set, including a DVD burner.

  • Toshiba Tecra A6

    The Toshiba Tecra A6 is a well-designed business laptop that delivers good performance for the money and a host of business-friendly security features, but its glossy display will prove to be a deal breaker for many.
