This month the number two Asus W2U00VB desktop replacement is the chart's only newcomer, but its roomy 17-inch screen and built-in TV tuner may raise your notebook expectations. Elegant (if pricey), this $2599, 7.4-pound Asus boasts further luxuries including a slot-fed DVD burner and a 100GB hard drive.Three other notebooks were tested this month. All had some interesting features, but various shortcomings kept them off the chart.The ABS Mayhem G4 Revolution fell just short of our all-purpose list. This gaming notebook's ability to flip between an nVidia GeForce Go 6600 graphics chip and its Intel integrated graphics is unique, but its battery life of 2.5 hours was less than stellar.We also looked at Gateway's new Tablet PC, the CX200X. Although this model was too slow and heavy to make our Top 10 ranking, we found its 14-inch wide screen impressive.A fourth notebook tested, the WinBook A710, came nicely loaded with features including a 17-inch wide screen and with an attractively low price ($1100), but usability problems with its keyboard pulled down its ranking.
