Thanks to the rise of Netbooks, it's easier than ever to give a laptop to anyone on your list this holiday season. An ultramobile Netbook makes an excellent second computer for e-mailing or surfing the Web on the run, and its low cost will help you stay within your holiday budget. Of course, if your loved ones have been very, very good, there are plenty of other laptops to consider, from sleek ultraportables to larger, entertainment-oriented systems. Listed are a few of our preferred laptops for giving this holiday season, along with some of our favorite laptop accessories to give anyone who already has a laptop they love.
The bottom line: Apple's redesigned 13-inch MacBook is essentially a shrunken version of the more expensive 15-inch Pro line. With its new aluminum body, new trackpad, and Nvidia graphics, it's an even more attractive choice for mainstream laptop buyers than was the plastic model it replaces.
