Asus UL50Vt

It doesn't quite live up to its own battery hype, otherwise Asus' thin and light laptop is pretty good.

The Apple MacBook may look the same as before, but it's had a Spring makeover and is now a better deal than ever.

Asus Lamborghini VX5

Asus' Lamborghini VX5 is a luxury laptop, with a luxury price to match — thankfully justified by the quality of the laptop and package. If you've got a wad of cash burning in your pocket, and don't mind a little luxury, the VX5 might be for you.

Dell Adamo

Dell's upscale Adamo is a 13-inch laptop for those who value design and finish as much as performance, but its luxury price will limit the potential audience.

Don't be fooled by the "Prestige" label on this otherwise unremarkable laptop.
