| Bottom line | Info unavailable | Samsung's midprice Series 5 UltraTouch looks and feels like a more expensive machine, but keeps it simple by skipping the complex hybrid mechanics of so many new
Windows 8 systems. | 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. | For those looking for something more than a feature-light ultrabook, the gamer-friendly Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 is close to brilliant, and several configurations are currently available at a deep discount -- but I can't believe it doesn't have a touch screen. | The newly redesigned MacBook Pro with Retina Display combines an amazing screen with just enough of the
MacBook Air design to feel like a new animal, and to take its place as the best of the current MacBook breed. |
