Gimmick: Becomes a quasi-laptop
When Microsoft (or CNNMoney editors) argue that PCs are never going to die, Motorola has a rebuttal: the Atrix. When docked into a separately sold accessory that is essentially just a keyboard and a screen, the smartphone becomes a quasi-laptop.
Its "laptop" capabilities are limited to the Web and very few other netbook-like functions, but it's an impressive start. The Atrix is the first smartphone with a dual-core processor, giving it the necessary processing power to handle transforming into a notebook.
Not for you? Well, you don't have to buy the $499 accessory. The Atrix is one of the highest-functioning smartphones available on its own right. But Motorola also offers several other smartphones, including the popular Droid 2 and Droid X models.
