4. Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz)
Editors' rating: 8.1
The good: Cheaper than the MacBook Pro, with nearly comparable performance; great design; built-in Webcam and remote control; can run Windows XP via Boot Camp.
The bad: No ExpressCard slot or FireWire 800; lacks media card reader; only 90 days of toll-free technical support.
The bottom line: The new MacBook, updated to Intel's Core 2 Duo CPU, compares very favorably with Apple's high-end MacBook Pro line, offering premium performance at a reasonable price.
