| 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. | Despite solid hardware and a slightly improved Chrome OS, the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 comes with far too many caveats and compromises compared with similarly priced but more-capable
tablets and laptops. | 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 smaller, 11.6-inch version of Samsung's excellent Series 9 laptop is thin and light, and has a few features the
MacBook Air lacks, but it's more expensive and doesn't trump the competition where it counts. |
