The Bottom Line	Users who want a laptop with solid performance, a rich feature set, and a compact design will be pleased by the affordable Toshiba Satellite U205-S5057.	If you're in the market for an affordable thin-and-light, the Asus UL30A-A1 provides great value and a solid Core 2 Duo CULV processor in an attractive package.	The ThinkPad X61s provides excellent dual-core performance in a lightweight, compact package that's still comfortable to use.	Toshiba's slick entry into the thin-and-light laptop world is timed for Windows 7, but if you're going to get one, make sure it's the dual-core T135-S1310, and not its single-core cousin.	HP's Mini 311 adds a larger, high-definition display and advanced graphics to a basic Netbook, while keeping the price very appealing. Once it starts shipping with Windows 7, this could become our favorite Netbook.
