10. Alienware M14XzThis is considered to be one of the unique laptops out there because of the “Alien” concept it carries. Build is far comparable from its competition, displaying both the sturdiness beyond its material, lightness that is contrasting to its looks, and curves that can only be compared to extraterrestrial vessels and stealth crafts. Design is beyond what can be seen anywhere else in the world. It is actually like handling and buying something that is out of this world. Graphics are very crisp and clear, even though 1600×900 is not the best there is. Its fast processor can startup everything in only 45 seconds, even with no tweaking on startup options.

9. Samsung Series 9 NP900X3AA very thin laptop that has all the goodies included, the Samsung Series 9 is a good choice of something small that is loaded with bigger specs, such as a powerful Intel Core i5, an 8GB memory, and a graphics unit that is worth the purchase and the combination. This is, in fact, one of those ultrathin laptops available in the industry. It may be comparable to the MacBook Air as it is small and light, but it falls short on the price as it is quite expensive for something that is not even at par with what the New MacBook Air can offer. It actually comes close even to the HDD space, being SSD, just like its Apple competitor.

8. Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Even with the new and hardcore specs that are included in the new Lenovo ThinkPad X220, the same classic design has been used, keeping the concept consistent for both old and new ThinkPad customers. The battery life is considered as one of the longest lasting batteries there is for a Lenovo, and it’s included in this package. Even though the size may just be 12.5 inches, something smaller than expected, nevertheless, the performance it carries with its high calibre specs are more than promising to take note of. This Ultraportable laptop has everything included, both good for games and great multitasking office functions. Despite of its size, the keyboard is actually quite large, with enough space to make room for big and fast-gliding fingers.

It has become better than its predecessors are, because of the combination of an Nvidia graphics card, powered by a mighty quad-core i7. The battery is also notable for its long staying life, despite of a draining processor under its care. The 15.6 inch of wide and huge screen goodness has a back draw in it, making the whole laptop experience being bulky and heavy to carry.

6. Asus U41JF-A1Despite that the specs it carries is far beyond the previous, comparing it to Alienware and others before it, the Asus U41JF-A1 has bagged the number 6 spot not because of the price or the its level of standard that would attract the masses, it’s all because of the consistency of its performance in all levels being met. It does not have the best specs, as there are others better than it, but it has stuck to its portfolio overall, expecting that people would be able to rely on a firm hardware and software dependence, no matter what happens.

5. Toshiba Portege R835-P56XThe Toshiba Portege R835-P56X has a sharp design and performance that can be quite close as an alternative to the MacBook Pro. After all, who can mistake an Intel Core i5 with batteries that can almost last a full day of hard core multitasking, battery draining duties. The graphics can be considered as more user friendly than it used to be, however, it is not to be considered as good as other GPUs for hardcore gamers.

Dell Vostro 3350Being taken and noted as more of a business than an entertainment laptop, the Dell Vostro 3350 is noted to be a very reliable machine for all the complex and huge data-eating applications and programs that need to be opened all the time, at any given circumstance. It is dependable on meeting business demands, like having Skype open while accessing databases, and multiple spreadsheet documents, while meeting with an international client over the air. It is perfect for travelling businessmen as the laptop is only about 13 inches, while carrying everything in one durable and sturdy physical package.

1. MacBook AirWhen it’s Apple, everyone has to love it, despite of the high-priced laptop with some specs that are even lower than its competitors are. The MacBook Air, particularly the summer 2011 release, has specs that are not expected to be carried by such a very extravagant laptop. Just imagine that you will be paying much higher than other laptops, but you will be surprised that 256GB of storage would be the max, and the graphics card is just as decent as others. The screen is sharp as it is expected to be, carrying a 1440×900 pixels, something a 13.3” laptop does not usually include. Battery is also revolutionary in this sort because of its advanced Lithium polymer material.
