Top 100: Mobile Pentium 4 Gets a Boost

New laptops based on the latest Intel mobile processor impress.

By PCWorld Reviews Staff   

Intel's latest mobile processor, a 2.2-GHz Pentium 4-M, makes its debut on this month's Top 15 Notebooks chart, in two new portables. Both offer impressive performance: Gateway's 600XL earned a PC WorldBench 4 score of 103, while Chem USA's ChemBook 4025 scored 104. And for once, speed doesn't come at a premium price: At just under $2100, the ChemBook is the least-expensive model on our power list.

Also new this month: In addition to our regular Top 15 Desktop PCs ranking, we highlight systems with a definite corporate slant. In our first Top 5 Corporate PCs chart, HP's Compaq Evo D510 wins the Best Buy.

Freelance writers Mick Lockey and Carla Thornton, as well as PC World reviews editors Richard Baguley, Tracey Capen, Seán Captain, Rebecca Freed, Kalpana Narayanamurthi, Melissa J. Perenson, and Alan Stafford, contributed to the Top 100 section this month. Ulrike Diehlmann, Julio Giannobile, Elliott Kirschling, Jeff Kuta, Tony K. Leung, and Thomas Luong of the PC World Test Center performed testing on the products reviewed in this section, with logistical support provided by Julian Weatherby.
