| Bottom line | Samsung's sharp designs translate well to this more affordable new line, although the Series 3 is still at the high end of the ultraportable price range. | 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 $249 Samsung Chromebook is a good extra computer for cloud-loving Google-centric Web users. | 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. | 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. |
