The all-silver PolyNote 3000N looks gorgeous when you unpack it, reminding us of an Apple PowerBook. Still, with a base price of just $1,500, the PolyNote 3000N has a lot to offer the budget-conscious consumer.

If not for a quirky touchpad, a below-average keyboard, and cheap, glued-on nameplates, the PolyNote 3000N would've scored higher. It lasted an impressive five hours in battery-life tests. The PolyNote 3000N is the second-fastest notebook tested in CNET Labs it features a 1.5GHz Pentium M processor and weighs a mere 3.9 pounds.
