Best Buy: IBM ThinkPad R40
The IBM ThinkPad R40 recently hit our Top 15 Notebook PCs chart in the top slot. It's one of the fastest notebooks we've seen--and its battery ran nearly 3.5 hours. Add a built-in DVD/CD-RW combo drive, a 15-inch display, an easy-to-use keyboard, dual pointing devices, two USB 2.0 ports, and built-in wireless network antennas, and you've got one thought-provoking ThinkPad. The unit we evaluated cost $2149, which makes it a bit pricey but an excellent value overall. For the latest prices, check our Product Finder.
