A Sneak Peek into the Best Laptops Available

The best laptops today are high powered systems capable of playing the latest games and handle powerful applications running at the same time. If you’re looking for the cream of the crop, here they are.

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Retina Display)
This laptop has a 2.5 GHz processor, 8 GB and a 256 GB capacity (you can get one with 128 GB for a lower price). Running on the OS X 10.8, the Apple MacBook Pro has a native resolution of 2560 x 1600 and is powered by the Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics card. Its screen size is 13.5 inches and weighs 3.57 lb. Its design is similar to other Apple laptops and comes with a glass multitouch trackpad.
The dimensions are 0.75 by 12.35 by 8.62 inches (HWD), making it compact and suitable for carrying around. Its reliance on flash storage rather than a spinning hard drive makes launching of applications faster.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y580
Powered by a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7-3610QM processor, the IdeaPad Y580 has 8 GB RAM, 15.6 inch screen size with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 widescreen. Its graphics card is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M with 2048 of memory. Its storage capacity is 1000 GB with the rotation speed at 5400 rpm.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 measures 15.2 by 10 inches (WD) and the thickness varies from 0.9 inch at the thinnest sector to 1.4 inches. The 15.6-inch screen, 1,920 by 1,080 resolution provides excellent video playback, perfect for Bly-Ray movies. For a laptop, the speakers are also very good, with no distortion whatsoever.

Eurocom Scorpius
The Eurocom Scorpius is quite simply the best laptop for gaming available. It has an Intel Core i7-3920XM Extreme Edition 2.9 GHz with 8 GB and a huge 17.3 inch display with 1920 x 1080 resolution. It’s powered by the Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M graphics card 4096 memory and has 736 GB storage.

The Scorpius measures 16.5-by-11.3–by-1.9 inches (HWD), and if you include the two 3.3-pound AC power bricks, its weight will be around 15 lbs. While it’s heavy, the Scorpius can handle any game you throw at it. Its 2.9GHz has a turbo option for up to 3.8 GHz and it comes with two SSD drives, more than enough for even the most demanding games.

Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD-DB71
The laptop has 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7-5317UM processor with 4 GB. Its graphics card is the Nvidia GeForce GT 640M LE with a memory of 1024 and natively displays 1920 x 1080 widescreen. It measures 0.7 by 12.8 by 8.9 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.2 lbs. It is solidly built with a chiclet-style backlit keyboard and an aluminum body.

The one piece trackpad works very well, allowing finger swipe gestures and zooming. The screen is full 1080p HD (1,920 by 1,080), one of the few that you will see on a 13.3 inch laptop. HD videos are shown in full res, allowing you to see more detail in photos.

The best laptops today are more than capable of handling any application you throw at it. Any of the laptops cited above will be sufficient for Web browsing, but as the specs show, some are better suited for gaming than others. Speed aside, you also have to consider weight, especially if you are going to carry it around. If you’re a road warrior, the weight will be as important as the specs.
