Micro Express NBL26

If you've ever listened to National Public Radio's Prairie Home Companion, you may have heard the host mention in a folksy way that "all the children are above average." Alas, some products are just average--neither setting the bar for excellence nor dismally poor. Micro Express' NBL26 is just such an undistinguished product.

Of course, "average" doesn't mean "bad." If what you need is a capable 15-inch laptop that's not too heavy and not too expensive for running desktop apps, browsing the web, and other normal computing tasks, the NBL26 fits that bill. Desktop performance is surprisingly robust for a dual-core unit. Intel's new Core i7-2620M (a Sandy Bridge CPU) scales up from a default 2.7GHz to a whopping 3.4GHz. That, plus the 4GB of DDR3 memory, pushed the NBL26 to a solid score of 126 in our WorldBench 6 test suite.
