Best Laptop Features Coundown - Buying a notebook is always a compromise. You can buy a deluxe machine with everything but that kitchen sink that weighs a ton, or a portable ultralight that can’t handle anything more than YouTube and e-mail. Rob Enderle lays out his middle road for the perfect machine, and the panel debates which features they would be most ready to part with for lighter weight or a lower price.
