MSI GX600 (Core 2 Duo T7300 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

We admit it: We felt really cool while toting around the MSI GX600. That's because the laptop's sleek, reflective black case is enhanced by red flame-like markings that look like they could be based on Dave Navarro's tattoos. The sleekness continues inside, where red and silver accents make the MSI...

Fujitsu LifeBook A6110 (Core 2 Duo T5250 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

Compared with the rounded edges and glossy black exteriors of other laptops in our sub-$1,000 roundup, the Fujitsu LifeBook A6110 looks decidedly square. We're willing to look past the boxy design--indeed, we have in the past--because the LifeBook A series offers one of the most thorough feature sets available in...

Lenovo 3000 N200-0687 (Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

When we set out to round up a handful of laptops that cost less than $1,000, we knew we had to include Lenovo. The small-business-focused Lenovo 3000 line has long been one of the best deals going if you want to buy a laptop built on the latest Intel processors...

Sony VAIO CR120 (Core 2 Duo T7100 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

At first, we didn't expect to find a Sony system that would qualify for our roundup of laptops with a price tag of $1,000 or less. After all, Sony's reputation for beautiful, expensive laptops is probably outranked only by Apple's. Yet the VAIO CR120, which comes in at exactly $1,000...

Fujitsu LifeBook U810 (Vista Home Premium)

The Fujitsu LifeBook U810 skirts the line between an ultraportable convertible tablet and a UMPC (that's ultramobile PC, if you haven't been paying attention). We've always liked UMPCs in theory--shrinking a laptop down in size to something you can almost pocket--but these systems, including the OQO model 02 and the...

Toshiba Satellite U305 (Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, 200GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

There's a lot to like about the Satellite U305, Toshiba's entry into the fast-growing field of 13.3-inch laptops. Its display size effectively balances readability and portability, and its screen finish provides bright, vibrant images without distracting reflections. Its wide case provides plenty of room for a comfortable keyboard and most...

Toshiba Satellite A215 (Turion 64 X2 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

Toshiba's latest mainstream laptop occupies the sweet spot between price and features, packing in a generous 250GB hard drive and 2GB of RAM for $999. The 15.4-inch Toshiba Satellite A215 also includes a Labelflash DVD burner that can burn text and images on your optical media, but it skips the...

Fujitsu LifeBook A6030 (Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

The boxy, slate-gray Fujitsu LifeBook A6030 didn't exactly catch our eye when it rolled into our offices. But after spending a little time with the machine, we found something in the laptop to please every type of user. The laptop's 15.4-inch display is a delight for movie-watchers (though the reflective...

Lenovo ThinkPad T61 (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM, 100GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)

Unless you put them side by side, you'd be hard-pressed to spot the physical differences between the two new Centrino laptops from Lenovo, the ThinkPad T61 and the ThinkPad R61. Both 14-inch models include all the important parts of Intel's revamped Centrino platform, including new Core 2 Duo CPUs, extra...

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...

MSFT's acquisition of Powerset is not about search

The recent $100 million acquisition of Powerset, the semantic search engine company, by Microsoft looks to be more to do with advertising than beefing up the software giants' search capabilities. So far, Powerset has only demonstrated its technology against Wikipedia. It's a neat exhibit but it is...
