| 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. | A high-end laptop at a mainstream price, the
HP Envy Spectre XT gets much of the look and feel right, with only a few missteps. | 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. |
