Toshiba Satellite L305-S5875
Reviewed on July 23, 2008
There is nothing inherently wrong with the entry-level Toshiba Satellite L305, but both Dell and Sony have 15-inch budget laptops that offer more for less.

HP Pavilion dv2945se
Reviewed on July 24, 2008
The 14-inch HP Pavilion dv2700t Special Edition looks like a much more expensive laptop, but you can also find a more powerful 14-inch laptop with better battery life for less money.

HP Pavilion dv9925nr
Reviewed on August 7, 2008
For less than $1,000, the HP Pavilion dv9925nr is a decent desktop replacement laptop with a broad, 17.1-inch screen. However, you'll get better performance and battery life (not to mention increased portability) from a similarly priced 15.4-inch machine.

HP Presario SR1910NX (Sempron 1.8 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 120 GB HDD)
Reviewed on August 18, 2006
The HP Compaq Presario SR1910NX is as strong a system as any other $400 computer, but that's not saying a lot. Spend a bit more--while still staying firmly rooted in the budget class--and you can push its replacement date back a couple years.

iBuypower Value Ultra (Athlon 64 X2 4200)
Reviewed on July 13, 2006
The highly configurable iBuyPower Value Ultra can be set up to emphasize performance or price; this back-to-school configuration keeps a foot in both camps, but a better budget deal lurks elsewhere.

Reviewed on July 18, 2006
The budget desktop scene is due for a shake-up with Intel's new chips and AMD's impending price cuts, but the Velocity Micro Vector GX Campus Edition is a strong opening volley. There's not much we'd change about this back-to-school package; it's as capable as it is attractive.
