The HP G62-143cl ($699 list) is geared toward multipurpose users. Available at Costco, it's large enough to be a desktop replacement laptop and manageable enough to take on long commutes and vacations. And for one low price, it bundles the latest Intel Core i3 processor and a speedy 7,200rpm hard drive. If you're willing to spend a little more, however, the powerful Samsung R580 ($830 list, 
) includes a Blu-ray drive and may be a better bang for your buck.
