Dell Studio 1555 (USE006CS)
The Dell Studio 1555 (USE006CS) ($799 list) is an affordable desktop replacement laptop that is neither too cheap to be called a recession special nor expensive enough to be labeled a power house. It falls into that perfect balance where all the parts are better than what you would expect to get at this price—and that's a great feeling. Though it isn't as afforable as the Gateway NV5807u ($600) or the HP Pavilion dv6t (1030us) ($750), its comprehensive array of ports, 500GB hard drive, and 6 hours of battery life more than justifies this price difference and earns it an Editors' Choice in our desktop replacement category.
