  • Lenovo ThinkPad X1 

    When Lenovo discontinued its ThinkPad X300 series, many mobile professionals were disappointed that they could no longer buy the svelte 13-inch laptop, which combined a lightweight soft-touch chassis with a comfy keyboard and a high-res screen. Fortunately, after nearly a year, Lenovo has debuted a new 13-inch business ultraportable in the ThinkPad X1. The 3.8-pound, $1,399 X1 delivers a lot for the money
  • Toshiba Portege R835-P56X 

    The premium ultraportable notebook category has never been more competitive. Between the long-lasting ThinkPad X220, the gorgeous Samsung Series 9, and the instant-on 13-inch MacBook Air, consumers have a wide range of compelling options. But what if you don't have well over a grand to spend?
  • Toshiba Satellite P745D-S4240 

    The good: The affordable Toshiba Satellite P745D-S4240 has better-than-average hard-drive space and RAM for its price, and decent graphics performance thanks to the AMD A6 processor. High-quality Harman Kardon speakers and USB 3.0/Bluetooth are also included.
  • Dell Precision M4600

    The good: The Dell Precision M4600 is a flexible and powerful mobile workstation thanks to an abundant component selection, plentiful ports and connections, and ample warranty, support, and security options.
  • Lenovo Essential B470 

    The good: The Lenovo Essential B470 looks sharper than some of Lenovo's other budget laptops, and includes a basic Nvidia GPU.
  • Toshiba Satellite P755-3DV20 

    The good: The Toshiba Satellite P755-3DV20 is packed with features: Blu-ray, midrange Nvidia graphics, and Nvidia 3D Vision with included glasses, along with Harman Kardon speakers and USB 3.0.
  • HP EliteBook Mobile Workstation 8560w

    The good: The HP EliteBook 8560w Mobile Workstation offers excellent configuration options including a color-accurate LCD, comes with great tools for fine-tuning performance and power usage, and has a tough but attractive design.
  • Sony Vaio VPC-F215FX/BI 

    The good: The stylish Sony Vaio F215FX adds stereoscopic 3D and backs it up with powerful components.
    The bad: This is significantly heavier than other 16-inch laptops, and at nearly $2,000, it's very expensive. The battery life is disappointing.
  • Business PC

    Business PC may not be the sexiest players in the PC market, but where the actual number of units the big PC makers ship each year is concerned, they do represent a significant segment. Think about it: You can still write a novel on a typewriter, shoot photographs with film, or play music live and record it with a DAT deck, but very few businesses can get their work done without a PC.
