Best Value Laptop: IBM ThinkPad I Series (Model No. 1210)

A ThinkPad for $1,100 may seem like a misnomer bit it's true. IBM's virtually bullet proof ThinkPad product line, with this new super low price, is our pick for best value notebook.

The laptop features a built-in floppy and CD ROM drive, a 500 MHz Intel Celeron processor and has a huge 6 GB hard drive. The screen is a bit small at 12.1 inches and it weighs a hefty 6-pounds, but like the man says, "the price is right." www.ibm.com
