HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx

As long as you're not looking for extremely long battery life, the HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx is a well-rounded mainstream budget laptop with above average looks and performance.
Sony VAIO VGN-NW270F/S

The Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F/S is a low-cost, Blu-ray-equipped laptop that makes a great choice for home use and, should you be willing to tote around a 15-inch machine, a decent choice as your everyday, take-it-with-you laptop.
Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970

The Toshiba Satellite U505-S2870 is rather tank-like for a 13.3-inch thin-and-light. We'd be more willing to tote it around if its heavy-armor feel extended to the flimsy keyboard.
HP Pavilion dv6-1375dx

You can find a better-designed, longer-running, Blu-ray equipped 15.6-inch for less than the HP Pavilion dv6-1375dx.
Nokia 6350 - red (AT&T)

The Nokia 6350 does the job as a phone for voice calls, but it doesn't measure up as a multimedia device.
Nokia 6350 - graphite (AT&T)

The Nokia 6350 does the job as a phone for voice calls, but it doesn't measure up as a multimedia device.

Dell Inspiron i1470-3282CRD

With an ultra-low-voltage CPU, the Dell Inspiron 1470-3282 runs longer but slower than competing laptops. We're not thrilled with the performance hit, but we still found lots to like about this well-designed, 14-inch laptop.
HP Pavilion dv4-1555dx

As a midsize entertainment laptop, the 14-inch HP Pavilion dv4-1555dx hits some right notes, but its poor battery life sours the deal.
Samsung Convoy SCH-U640 (Verizon Wireless)

Despite a couple of design complaints and a missing feature, the Samsung Convoy is an easy-to-use phone with great performance.
Kicker EB51 Stereo Earbuds (pink)

The Kicker EB51 earbuds are easy on the wallet and offer several color options, but we're not convinced they're enough of a step-up from stock earbuds.
Kicker EB51 Stereo Earbuds (yellow)

The Kicker EB51 earbuds are easy on the wallet and offer several color options, but we're not convinced they're enough of a step-up from stock earbuds.
Kicker EB51 Stereo Earbuds (black)

The Kicker EB51 earbuds are easy on the wallet and offer several color options, but we're not convinced they're enough of a step-up from stock earbuds.
Kicker EB51 Stereo Earbuds (blue)

The Kicker EB51 earbuds are easy on the wallet and offer several color options, but we're not convinced they're enough of a step-up from stock earbuds.
Asus K60IJ-RBLX05

Although the Asus K60IJ-RBLX05 is an affordable 16-inch budget laptop, it's missing the processing punch and features that can be had for just a little more money.
Callpod Fueltank UNO

The Callpod Fueltank UNO is a great alternative to form-fitting battery packs. It's well made and provides a solid charging solution for mobile devices.
