Editors' Choice:

- Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100
None of the Wintel notebooks impressed us as much as the Apple Powerbook G4. On the engineering side of things the Apple is leaps and bounds ahead of the Wintel notebooks. Wintel notebook designers need to take a leaf out of Apple's book and relieve us from plain-Jane notebooks. The 15.2in wide screen, fast G4 800MHz processor, and DVI port make this the most attractive desktop replacement notebook. The Apple is pretty much the Porsche of notebooks; everything else is a Holden Commodore.
However, we realise style is not on the minds of all corporate users, and what's more many organisations don't have the infrastructure to support Mac OS. More Holden Commodores get used as company cars than Porsches, after all. The Toshiba stands out of the Wintel crowd, offering excellent performance, good features, and a weight and size that make it comfortably luggable, all without breaking the budget.
