Right tool to synchronize desktop / laptop?

[Alex71]

I'm looking for advice for a reliable synchronization tool. Basically, I have a few directories that I'd like to do a 1-way publishing of from my desktop to laptop.

I have just started to use SmartSync Pro (www.smsync.com), a product that I ran across after reading a review on it in the Wall Street Journal. It works great, but I am not sure if it is the ideal solution.
Suggestions? What do you like in SmartSync Pro and similar programs? What don't you like?

Persuming you have windows xp, have you tried the built in tool? it works great for me.

Yeah, windows has a built-in syncronization tool called briefcase (right click on desktop->new->briefcase).
