SPEND A LITTLE. SPEND A LOT. Sometimes you don't have any leeway
for how much you can afford to pay for your laptops. But
whether this year's budget has room for the latest portable power
tool or a merely serviceable model, you have plenty of options.
The gap between prices on the high and low ends of the
Laptop spectrum is growing ever wider. Inexpensive notebooks
With all the power you need for onthe-road chores start at less
than $1,500, while ruggedized portables for hard use and
high-end multimedia systems with huge hard drives, docking
stations, and gigantic screens can run $5,000 or more. It's all
a matter of what you need to do and how much you want to spend.
Want a full-featured notebook computer for around $1,400? You
can get one - if you're willing to accept some trade-offs.
Laptops in this price range don't include DVD-ROM drives, huge
screens or the fastest processors. And they usually aren't
the slimmest, lightest models around, either. But if all you
need is a solid system for cruising the Web, sending e-mail and
writing reports - one that doesn't need to fit in your hip
pocket - any of these portables can do the job.
2 OF 6.
For $3,500 or more, you can get a system with all the toys,
Including the latest Pentium III mobile chip, loads of RAM, a
Hard drive of IOG bytes or more, a 15-in. active-matrix
screen, 3-D graphics acceleration, built-in Ethernet, docking
station and more. This device can do everything your desktop
system can, plus you can tuck it under your arm and carry it home
or out on the road. Once you enter superexpensive territory,
you have other options as well. This category includes Tadpole-
RDI Inc.'s Ultrabook - a SPARC-based Unix workstation in
Notebook form. Money can even buy laptop security for the overly
clumsy. Itronix X-C 6250 Pro is built to take abuse. It's
ruggedized and waterproofed, so you can drop it, step on
it or even leave it out in the rain without worrying. But it
will cost you - $4,995 for a base model.

$1,400
If you're on a serious budget, you won't be able to buy the
thinnest, lightest or most powerful laptop on the market. But you
will be able to buy a modest system - such as the Acer
TravelMate 512T - that comes with just about everything you could
need built-in...
