Gateway E-475M – the first thing you are going to notice about this laptop is that it is extremely fast. And to match the excellence in its speed is its battery life, which can last for over five hours. But this laptop isn’t going to come to you cheap (a whopping $1300) and this is its only downside. The speed is 2.2 GHz with a Core 2 Duo T7500, which is Intel’s latest processor. The display screen is a nice wide screen of 15.4 inches and it weights 7.2 pounds. This makes for easy portability either in a backpack or a laptop satchel. This is the perfect laptop for all your business needs. This Gateway comes with a detachable docking station and a charging bay that lets you keep a ready and charged battery ready-to-go. Not only is the E-475M sleek and trendy, but with top quality performance thanks to Intel and its latest dual-core processors.

HP Pavilion dv6500t – this beautiful consumer notebook is the HP Pavilion dv6500t, not only is it stylish but also a great performer. Even though it is a strong performer with Intel’s later mobile processor, it is light and portable at just 6.2 pounds. Its wide screen of 15.4 inches allows for great multimedia functioning. Though the only problem with it is its reflective screen. In spite of its reflective screen, the dv6500t is great for any activity except 3D shooting games. And lets not forget the dual-layered DCD writer. The battery life is good too it can last almost 4 hours. And for all those who love entertainment, the HP QuickPlay feature is also available on this model. This is an entertainment menu that is touch-sensitive and lets you enjoy everything from DVD movies to music and photo slide shows. For those who don’t mind the cost and want some glitz, glamour and performance supplied by this laptop, then it’s the HP Pavilion dv6500t for you!

Lenovo ThinkPad R61 – sleek design, light in weight and light-up keyboard makes the Lenovo ThinkPad R61 your best friend while traveling on business. It’s a classic ThinkPad with some cool features such as the ThinkLight, which illuminates the keyboard (quite a necessity while traveling on airplanes where all the lights are shut off for sleeping passengers). And being as light at 5.8 pounds and as sleek as 14.1 inches makes it the best travel companion. The integrated fingerprint reader ensures that all your information is secure. It also comes with Intel’s latest processor, the 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo T7500 and the battery life of 3 hours is decent. A well-rounded machine that’s great for travel makes the Lenovo ThinkPad R61 one of the top five best laptops today.

HP Pavilion dv2500t – this uber light and uber stylish is laptop is a great pick but that is if you don’t mind compromising on battery life, and it’s affordable too. The HP Pavilion dv2500t is almost a work of art, with its sleek design and pealescent sheen and touchpad. The dv2500t is well appointed and well equipped with a great processor, the Intel 2 GHz Core 2 Duo T7300. This laptop is great for multimedia use especially with the HP QuickPlay feature that gives you all the multimedia options without having to turn on the laptop. And it’s a great travel buddy too with its mere 5.5 pounds weight. But mind the battery life, its just 2.5 hours.

Toshiba Satellite A215-S4757 – this laptop makes it to the top five best laptop list because of its affordability and its full-sized keyboard.

The performance isn’t something to rave about though it is good enough performer for basic tasks and what more could you ask for in that price.
