- Dell Inspiron 2650
Special runners-up mention must go to the Apple iBook and Acer Travelmate 233X, both of which fulfill certain notebook criteria very well. The iBook is the only unit of those we've tested that we'd like to carry around for any period of time. Apart from looking snazzy, it's also lightweight for a budget notebook.
Carrying a notebook around is fine, but if it dies before you can actually use it, it's just a paperweight, and here the Acer Travelmate 233X stunned us with its excellent battery performance in both Productivity and Reader modes.
