1 HP Pavilion dv4-1555dx
As a midsize entertainment laptop, the 14-inch HP Pavilion dv4-1555dx hits some right notes, but its poor battery life sours the deal.
2 Asus K60IJ-RBLX05
Although the Asus K60IJ-RBLX05 is an affordable 16-inch budget laptop, it's missing the processing punch and features that can be had for just a little more money.
3 Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F (brown)
The Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F is a well designed mainstream notebook with respectable performance and features for the money.

8 HP Envy 15-1050nr
HP's new Envy 15 packs high-powered components into a svelte 15-inch body. The result is an upscale status symbol that still shows a few first-generation rough edges.
9 Toshiba Satellite E105-S1802
As a general purpose productivity machine, the Toshiba Satellite E105-S1802 strikes a number of right notes. Its dreadful speakers, however, limit its entertainment value
10 Alienware M15x (Intel Core i7 720QM, 250GB HDD, 3GB)
Alienware's big and bulky 15-inch M15x pulls out most of the stops, thanks to a superpowered CPU.
11 Gateway NV7802u
A large-screen laptop with very good performance, the Gateway NV7802u is an attractive choice for home or office.
12 Asus UL50AG-RBBBK05
The design and portability of the Asus UL50AG make it one of the slickest 15.6-inch DVD-drive-equipped laptops we've seen, but an ultralow-voltage processor compromises its computing power.
13 Nokia Booklet 3G (black)
Nokia's entry in the crowded Netbook field shows that the company's hardware know-how translates to computer design, but a poor choice of CPU should give you pause.
14 Dell Inspiron i1545-4374PBU
The Dell Inspiron i1545-4374PBU is a good, if basic, laptop with a strong price-to-performance ratio.
15 Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309
For a budget Windows 7 thin-and-light that won't need to recharge often, you could do a lot worse than the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309.
16 Gateway NV5207u
The Gateway NV5207u is certainly above average for the money, but its processor is a dog.
17 Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980
Good design and some really nice-sounding speakers round out the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980, a very affordable mainstream laptop with excellent battery life for its size.
18 Sony Vaio X (VPC-X115KX/N Signature Collection, gold)
Sony's bold experiment--a high-end luxury system with essentially Netbook components--makes an enviable coffee shop conversation piece, but one that includes some serious sticker shock.
19 Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975
While it's hard to argue with a $330 laptop, the old-fashioned-looking L455-S5975 cuts some serious corners to get you a package that will suit only basic users.
20 Apple MacBook Fall 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Nvidia GeForce 9400M)
Apple's latest version of the popular $999 white MacBook gets an upscale makeover, while keeping the price the same. It's a strong alternative to the more expensive Pro line, if you can live without extras such as an SD card slot.
21 Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310 (red)
Toshiba's slick entry into the thin-and-light laptop world is timed for Windows 7, but if you're going to get one, make sure it's the dual-core T135-S1310, and not its single-core cousin.
22 Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850
Toshiba revives its Qosmio gaming line with the high-end X505. It has everything from Blu-ray to an Intel Core i7 CPU, but it also carries a premium price.
23 Lenovo ThinkPad SL510
Lenovo's Windows 7 upgrade to the ThinkPad SL500 keeps the price affordable, and features a consumer-friendly 16:9 display.
24 Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300
Toshiba's slick entry into the thin-and-light laptop world is timed for Windows 7, but the Satellite T135-S1300 isn't as multimedia-savvy as it seems to be at first glance.
25 HP Mini 311
HP's Mini 311 adds a larger, high-definition display and advanced graphics to a basic Netbook, while keeping the price very appealing. Once it starts shipping with Windows 7, this could become our favorite Netbook.
