| Bottom line | The Acer Aspire S3 is the closest you can get to the look and feel of a
MacBook Air for less than $1,000, but it requires a few compromises. | While it's not going to dazzle anyone, the Toshiba Satellite U845T is a great example of exactly how much laptop $799 should buy in 2013. | The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a convertible touch-screen laptop/tablet that most importantly doesn't compromise the traditional laptop experience. | One of the few standout products from the first wave of
Windows 8 laptops, the Acer Aspire S7 proves that Apple does not have a monopoly on great design. | Considering the total package of features and price, the Acer Aspire M5 feels like a safe bet if you want an all-encompassing
Windows 8 laptop with touch that won't cost a fortune. |
