  Overall score: 8.2 (4.0 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.5 stars out of 3 reviews

The Bottom Line: For those looking for something more than a feature-light ultrabook, the gamer-friendly Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 is close to brilliant, and several configurations are currently available at a deep discount -- but I can't believe it doesn't have a touch screen. Read review

The Bottom Line: Lenovo's latest ThinkPad slims down, but not as much as the X1 Carbon -- and it skips the touch screen. Read review

  Overall score: 7.5 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 3.5 stars out of 13 reviews

The Bottom Line: Unlike a lot of other unique proof-of-concept laptops, the Acer Iconia is fun to use and largely works as advertised. But it has a hard time answering the most frequent question we hear about it: why would anyone need a dual-touch-screen laptop? Read review
