A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

While 2009 may end up being the first year that we see widespread adoption of SSDs (Solid State Drives) in notebooks, 2008 will go down as the year that it all started happening. My experience with a SSD on the MacBook Air was an overwhelmingly positiv...
Bottom line In many ways, the SSD option on the MacBook Air is an easier decision to make. In many cases, performance went down but the improvements in battery life and application launch time make the option worth it if youve got the gold to spare. Adding the M...

Good Classic design; huge screen, with new ultra-high-resolution option; excellent overall performance; much improved graphics performance; 2GB of RAM, which is expandable to 4GB.
Bad Some software needs tuning for new graphics chip; no PCMCIA slot or eSATA port; large screen inevitably increases size, weight, and price.
Bottom line If you have a recent MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, there’s probably no compelling reason to trade up (unless you can’t live without the higher frame rates, the optional extra resolution, or a fourth gigabyte of RAM). But if you’re still...

Good Fast performance; classic design; lovely screen; ample RAM and hard drive capacity.
Bad Performance glitch slows some tasks; no internal modem option; no PC Card slot; few cards available for ExpressCard/34 slot; no eSATA port.
