Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TG-944G50N review A great screen and decent battery life make this a decent ultra-portable, but it's expensive unless you really need the dual graphics chips.

Samsung R730 review Well designed, with an incredible screen and decent battery life – a great choice if you need an inexpensive desktop replacement

Acer Aspire 7740-334G50Mn review Despite the fast new Core i3 processor and large screen, the 7740 is let down by a poor keyboard and touchpad.
