Dell Leads in Performance, Toshiba in Price Anaheim CA

New products and new pricing rejigger both sides of our notebook chart. Among power models, the HP Pavilion dv8000z--with its beautiful screen and solid performance--still reigns supreme. The strikingly designed Dell XPS M1710 ranks as our current top performer, but its daunting price keeps it in the third spot.

On the value side, the reasonably priced Asus A6Jc-Q029H debuts at number four, with handy entertainment features and a generous 100GB hard drive. A $300 price drop on the Toshiba Tecra A6-S513 bumps it up to the number two slot behind HP's nicely outfitted Pavilion dv5000z. Lenovo's ThinkPad R52 drops off the chart, replaced by the solid but hardly sexy Lenovo 3000 C100.
