Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
If you haven't got space for a full size machine, then the Toshiba Satellite P200-17C is a good compromise, with reasonable performance and a large widescreen display. The inclusion of six USB ports is impressive, as is the additional numeric keypad. It looks great too.

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz).

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
