Toshiba Satellite P205-S6237 (Core Duo 1.73GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Vista Home)

On the surface, the Toshiba Satellite P205-S6237 is a winner. Its sleek, reflective black exterior and upscale silver interior look more expensive than its $999 price tag might indicate. It has a beautiful 17-inch display and a remarkably comfortable keyboard. But the cliche about books and their covers applies to...

Dell Inspiron E1705 (Core Duo T2250 1.73GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

Dell's high-end 17-inch XPS M1710 is a popular choice for hard-core gamers who need a desktop replacement system, but the company's mainstream Inspiron E1705 offers a more media-center-oriented take on big-screen laptops. Minus the flashing lights and overwrought industrial design of the XPS line, the $1,909 Inspiron E1705 (configurations start...
