One of the best gaming laptop is the Alienware M17x. this laptop is made for serious gamers, reviewers say you can't beat the performance of the 17-inch Alienware M17x. This award-winning laptop combines the top gaming hardware with a flashy design to appeal to fans of 3-D gaming. The base ... model of the Alienware M17x starts at only $1,800, but that's deceiving since reviewers say you'll need to shell out serious cash to take advantage of this machine's full potential. Most reviewers test an upgraded version of this gaming laptop costing at least $4,000, complete with dual Nvidia GeForce GTX graphics, a high-resolution display and Blu-ray drive. With these upgrades, reviewers rave about the blistering performance; in fact, John Delaney at ComputerShopper.com calls the Alienware M17x the "fastest gaming laptop we've ever tested." The two biggest drawbacks, according to reviews, are price and weight. The Alienware M17x weighs more than 11 pounds, so while it's technically portable, you won't want to lug it around for long. It's also expensive, but it's the best rated computer laptop in his category.



For those who can't afford this kind of laptop, they can buy a cheaper version like Asus G51Vx-RX05.  While he is no match for  the Alienware M17x, this affordable laptop boasts a 15.6-inch HD screen, a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX graphics. ComputerShopper.com points out that while the Asus G51Vx-RX05 can easily handle games in DirectX 9, it posts only "mediocre" scores in tests with DirectX 10. On the plus side, the Asus laptop weighs considerably less -- only 7.3 pounds -- than the Alienware M17x, but it has an equally short battery life. The Asus G51Vx-RX05 is sold exclusively at Best Buy.

Best rated computer laptops in multimedia category is the Dell Studio XPS 16. It includes a 15.6- or 16-inch widescreen display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and some reviewers say the rich and vibrant display is one of ... the best they've tested. A slot-loading Blue-ray drive and 1080p resolution display are available as an upgrade option. One reviewer says the Dell Studio XPS 16 is worth buying just for the 1080p LCD display, especially if you plan to watch movies or do graphics work. Reviewers also appreciate the inclusion of both HDMI and DisplayPort technologies. Benchmark testing shows the Dell Studio XPS 16 offers solid performance, even for casual gaming. The Dell Studio XPS 16 gets high marks for its sleek, leather-trimmed design, but the laptop's glossy surfaces are magnets for fingerprints and smudges. Like most power laptops, the battery life is nothing to write home about.

On the business category the best rated computer laptops are the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds and the HP EliteBook 6930p.  While the first one is who brings something unique to the business-laptop market: a 10.6-inch secondary display that pops out from behind the 17-inch main display. The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds also earns high marks for packing desktop power and performance into a (relatively) portable package. In addition to the dual screens, business users get an optional digitizer with pen, a full-size keyboard with a number pad and a built-in color calibrator. The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds weighs 11 pounds and is too thick for many laptop bags, so you better skip the travel parts at some time. But all of these don't come cheap. A complete laptop like this can reach prices up to 5000$, price that it worth's when you are a good business man.

The second option is o more light-weight version and is more adequate to those who travel much. The battery life is decent, lasting for almost four hours in one test, but overall the HP EliteBook 6930p gets very good reviews for build quality and office performance.

This laptops are the 5 best rated computer laptops which you can find in their categories and each and one of them completes his task at best of rates.
