10. Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz, 17-inch)
Editors' rating: 7.4
The good: Lightest 17-inch laptop we've seen; has a built-in Webcam and a remote control; can run Windows XP via Boot Camp; adds FireWire 800 support.
The bad: Lacks media card reader; comes with only 90 days of toll-free technical support.
The bottom line: Apple's Core 2 Duo 17-inch MacBook Pro is especially thin and light for a desktop replacement, making it an attractive choice for multimedia users on the go.
