| Bottom line | 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. | It's great to see more touch-screen
Windows 8 laptops under $600, but note that the Asus X202E requires some compromises in performance and battery life. | The $249 Samsung Chromebook is a good extra computer for cloud-loving Google-centric Web users. | The HP Pavilion Chromebook 14 advances the argument for Chrome as a low-cost mainstream computing environment, but the laptop's most noteworthy feature is a slightly bigger screen. |
