Laptops Arena

It’s time to talk about best rated laptops. The rating of a laptop is like an evaluation of the key points like performance, looks, price or battery life. There are user ratings and rating given by professionals that write reviews.

To be very honest, I imagined that the best rated laptop would be a HP or a Dell since they are two of the most powerful laptop manufacturers on the market. Surprisingly, the result was a Lenovo. The Lenovo ThinkPad T400 appears to be one of the best laptops on the market in our days. It has a 14.1 inch widescreen with a screen resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels, which means it is better than most laptops out there.It has a super powerful Intel Core 2 Duo processor. It's also cheaper than the X series (known for the ultra portable models) and the W series (known for its power). You'll find the ThinkPad T400 at an average price of $1,419.  Even if it mainly considered a business notebook, it is of good use in almost any situation. It has some cool features too offer like the switchable graphics, long lasting battery life and good ergonomics. There is even an option for a built-in fingerprint reader which really helps protect the personal data on your laptop. You are probably wondering why this is the best rated laptop. Well, there are 21 expert reviews on the internet that have given excellent grades to various aspects of this laptop. We also found out about 3,487 5-star ratings from users (real users) for this laptop. PC Magazine Readers' Choice Survey says that this laptop is ranked 2^nd for customer support, right after Apple.

The next best rated laptop is actually a notebook. The successful Acer Aspire One is a mini laptop which a huge success. It has an Intel Atom processor which offers good enough performance if you are working on common tasks. As far as the design goes, this mobile internet device received lots of credits, like the Japan Good Design Award, which is an international award for design. Cheap and pretty, what more could you ask for? It has great storage space and an awesome considering its small size. It even has great port selection which is surprising for a mini laptop due to obvious space reasons (or should I say lack of space reasons). It has 3 very useful USB ports and 2 media card readers. It also has a second SD card slot for purposes of dedicated system memory. A Windows XP Home operating system version of the Acer Aspire One offers 1GB of memory and a 120 GB hard disk memory for an extra $20. You can imagine why it deserves second place in our top of best rated laptops especially since it received an international award that basically says “the Acer Aspire One is promoting the quality of life with the help of the design”. 846 out of 1566 users gave this laptop a 5 star rating and the average score was 4.5 stars out of the maximum 5. It is without a doubt the best laptop with of price of less than $400 and it is also the best selling mini laptop on Amazon.



And the bronze medal goes to (drums beating hard) the Apple MacBook Pro. This 13 inch laptop has won the hearts of many people that have never even used iPods or iPhones before. It has an aluminum construction, a superb glass over LED display plus those oversized multi touch pads that we have all grown to love. There has been a recent round of updates which can be considered a refinement rather than a revolution. The final touch that was meant to complete the transformation is the reencounter of this laptop with the missing FireWire port, and this makes it more useful for all those professionals which are always on the go. We found an SD card slot which is more good news coming from Apple.



The back lit keyboard is available on the standard model and this is one feature you definitely don’t find in any laptop that supports this function. In the past, Apple also has this nice touch available only on more expensive models. The starting price is lower and that is great news for those people with little money to spend but still craving after an Apple Mac. Now you surely don’t have to own a multinational company to own an Apple MacBook. Unfortunately, the problem of the un-removable battery persists and we are still dreaming about a Blu-ray drive and a less glossy screen.



Although this paragraph may be useless to some (because the MacBook speaks for itself just because it is an Apple product), we are going to tell you why this is one of the best rated laptops around. It has been approved by GreenTech for energy efficiency. That is something you don’t see every day. PC Magazine Readers' Choice Survey tells us that Apple has the best customer support ever. Even if there still are considerable improvements to be done, consumers demand for this product is very high especially since they now offer this 13 inch laptop for a lower price than before. This means the Mac is up and running on the competitive market again. CNet has given the Editors Choice Award which really makes us think highly of this laptop. The Apple operating system is easy to use even for those who have been using Windows operating systems their entire life.



If we were to continue this list, we would have some names like HP Pavilion tx2500z tablet which is great for students that want to take notes in class, the Dell Studio 15 which combines smoothly the laptop portability with some really nice multimedia options, the Fujitsu LifeBook T5010 tablet PC which received the Laptop Logic Editors Choice Award. TheToshibe Portege M700, the Dell inspiron Mini 9, the Sony VAIO CS and the Fujitsu LifeBook T2020 are on the bottom of the top ten list with the best rated laptops.

Choosing the right laptop these days is very difficult.

There are thousands of laptop models from the famous and less well known manufacturers.

That's why I decided to share with you 5 thoughts/tips that will help you choose the right laptop for all your specific needs.

Tip #1 Size and weight

The size and the weight are very important; it depends what for do you want to buy it for, for traveling, for your car, office, or simply home.

There are four categories of laptops sorted by weight: ultraportables (less than 2kg), thin-and-lights (2 to 4kg), mainstream models (3 to 5kg), and desktop replacements (more than 5kg).

Tip #2 Speed

Laptops are usually 20-30% slower that desktops with the same features.And is not only about the processor,even if it's the fastest on the market. You have to be very careful when you choose the motherboard, hard drives, and the video system.

But the most important is the memory. Cheapest laptops comes with 128 MB of RAM, not enough for running applications efficiently.I think 512MB of RAM is the right choice but the more memory you have ,the better for your laptop.

So when it comes to RAM, go with the most expensive you can afford

Tip #3 Baterry life

Lithium ion batteries (sometimes abbreviated Li-Ion), a type of rechargeable battery, are the best because they're lighter and a slow loss of charge when not in use.

Typical batteries have a mAh rating between 2,000mAh and 6,000mAh; higher is better. Cells are the actual compartments where power is produced and can range from four to 12; the more the better.

Tip #4 Mouse

All laptops come with a built-in touch pad which is an alternative to the mouse. But for some of us, this touch pad is uncomfortable.So it's better to test the touch-pad before. Personally I can't work with this. If you don't like it either you can buy a mouse. All you have to do is test which one is the best.

Tip #5 Wireless

Integrated wireless networking (Wi-Fi) has become a necessity and almost all laptops come pre-wired for wireless Internet.Most laptops come with a choice of 802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g and they're capable of data throughput of 11Mbps that's why I think 802.11b is a right choice for a normal use.

So, before buying the laptop that you want, take account of this tips and take your time.
