It used to be that 1,000 bucks would get you a laptop stocked with previous-generation components and a mediocre feature set. But as the $999 Systemax Pursuit 4155 illustrates, a new wave of budget laptops stocked with current components and downright desirable features has hit the market. With an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, the Pursuit 4155 can handle any task from the typical home user, such as watching movies, burning CDs, and surfing the Web. The Systemax Pursuit 4155 is not alone in its capabilities: The Lenovo 3000 N100 offers a similar feature set and nearly identical components for the same price.
