dell xps 15z
"Dell has always been a powerful player in the laptop game, and their XPS 15 is no small player. This laptop computer features a third-generation Intel processor and a screen with full HD resolution. The screen pairs well with the Blu-ray disc drive, though this is an optional upgrade. This high-performance laptop comes with enough RAM and hard drive space for anyone who enjoys occasional gaming. It doesn't take much searching to discover that even the best laptops have both pros and cons; the trick is finding a device with far more pros than cons."
macbook air
"The MacBook Air is the ultimate in laptop portability. It is the lightest and thinnest laptop we found, but it doesn't skimp on the extras. This laptop features powerful third generation processors as well as flash storage available up to 512GB. The flash storage is significant since it's four times faster than a traditional hard drive. It does lack the extra RAM you will find on other laptops, and the MacBook Air doesn't feature the retina display, but you can still see high-resolution images and programs will still run smoothly.
This device has 4GB of RAM. This is an adequate amount of RAM but is meager compared to several laptops in this class. However, this laptop is configurable to 8GB of RAM, and the battery on this device offers up to seven hours of battery life on a single charge. And if the device is in standby mode, the laptop will remain powered for up to 30 days. There is a quick boot-up time on this device and we never had to wait long for the computer to boot up after it was in standby mode.
There is 512GB of flash storage on the Air. This may be small, but with flash storage, you get quicker loading and startup times since it doesn't have moving parts like a standard hard drive. The Air can go from sleep to your homescreen in less than five seconds.
Between a dual-core processor and the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000, the MacBook Air smoothly opens and runs programs with no glitches. While you won't be running graphics-heavy games, you can expect the MacBook Air to handle any workloads from Photoshop to PowerPoint. The graphics chip drives more than 4 million pixels of colors on this small screen, which gives you an intense visual experience.
The 11.6-inch screen has a native pixel resolution of 1366 x 768 while the 13.3-inch screen has 1440 x 900 resolution. The beautiful display is housed inside a unibody design, which means fewer parts, less complex design and more efficient cooling of the components inside the laptop.
There are several advanced features available on this laptop computer designed for both work and play. This computer offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. With these connectivity options, it is easy to access the web, send emails and download files. In addition, there are several ports and slots located on the device. There are two USB ports, an SD card slot (only available on the 13-inch model) and a headphone jack. There is also a mini HDMI display port that allows you to connect to an HDTV or a large monitor for enhanced viewing.
In addition, the MacBook Air features a 720p FaceTime HD camera and built-in microphone that make video calls possible on this device. The HD camera lets friends and family see you in much clearer view than any other laptop. In addition to this, the camera has a widescreen format so people don't have to crowd around the display. And this laptop features stereo speakers, which provide excellent sound without sacrificing design of the laptop.
The Apple MacBook Air offers a one-year warranty in case any serious technical issues arise. If you have any problems, concerns or questions regarding your laptop, Apple provides customer service representatives to answer your concerns. Representatives are available through live chat or phone support and their contact information is available on Apple’s website. Phone and live chat both provide a quick and easy way to communicate with a representative, but we were disappointed email support is not an option for reaching customer service."

asus n76vz
"The Asus N76VZ laptop is meant to help you access all your multimedia content. The powerful LED screen emits clear and bright images that really bring the display to life, all in HD format. The speakers are also well designed and don't sound washed out. Unfortunately, this laptop is heavy and isn't built to take around in a backpack. However, if you are looking to lose the desktop but keep every bit of the desktop's functionality, the N76VZ from Asus is a powerful alternative.
The Core i7 processor, which runs at 2.3GHz, powers this multimedia laptop. Turbo Boost helps the processor reach speeds up to 3.3GHz. This third generation processor uses less energy and runs at cooler temperatures compared to others, which means more play time for you on the computer. The mid-range GeForce GT 650M graphics card works well with the high-resolution screen, and even demanding games like Battlefield 3 are playable on medium or high graphic settings.
This Asus laptop has 6GB of RAM with the option to expand to 8GB. For such a powerful laptop, we were disappointed you can't upgrade the RAM even more. The laptop comes with a 750GB hard drive with an option to upgrade to 1TB. The N76VZ has a 17.3-inch screen that is full HD with a resolution of 1600 X 900. You get a full 150-degree view of the 1080p panel. With this screen, you get very detailed and vivid images with any type of media.
This laptop computer features Wi-Fi and optional Bluetooth connectivity. There are several ports located on this device, including four USB ports and an HDMI port.

toshiba satellite p850
"When searching for the best laptops for you, consider the Toshiba Satellite P850. It is a laptop computer designed for multimedia use, as long as you aren't looking to play games on it. It can't handle large loads of heavy graphics unless you upgrade the card, which can be expensive. That being said, everything else inside this system, like 8GB of RAM, a high-resolution screen and an i7 processor, works flawlessly to give your computing experience an upgrade. And with a 1TB hard drive, you'll have enough storage space to keep all your movies, pictures and music on it.
The quad-core i7 processor improves your overall experience with the P850 by unflinchingly loading programs without any lag. The processor provides superior performance for editing and creating videos or just enjoying music and photos. The i7 also helps with boosting gaming performance, though the integrated graphics unit falls short. While the graphics card only allows for some mid-level gaming, the processor gives you a chance to boost up your gaming performance. Just don't overheat the GPU.
This laptop comes standard with 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. No matter what you are doing, 8GB of memory helps with multitasking, especially if you are using multiple apps at the same time like Photoshop, Outlook and Firefox. Even with such powerful features, this laptop still lasts almost seven hours on one charge.
Toshiba packs this new laptop with a true HD resolution of 1366 x 768. The 15.6-inch screen with 16:9 aspect ratio supports up to 720p content. This means with a Blu-ray drive, you can watch crystal-clear videos. And with an HDMI port, you can display the screen on any HDTV you want to. This laptop lets you experience superior audio as well with the powerful Harman Kardon speakers.
The Toshiba P850 includes all the extra features you would want with a laptop. It has a 2-megapixel webcam, which is high definition. There are four USB ports and an RGB output port for older monitors that don't support HD display. This laptop computer is also Bluetooth compatible.
Toshiba offers a one-year warranty with all their P850 model laptops. You can find product updates, locate a repair center and download drivers from their website. The Satellite P850 is programmed to locate drivers automatically; you just have to choose when to install them. The site also has forums for everything from tablets to televisions."

hp pavilion dv7t
"The HP Pavilion dv7t laptop computer is the perfect device for anyone looking to do more than surf the web. It's a multimedia computer by heart and packs a powerful processor, loads of RAM (8GB) and a huge hard drive to store gigs upon gigs of files. Because of this, it's big. This computer is bulkier than any laptop we reviewed, but if you aren't looking for mobility, this multimedia guru will fill all your entertainment needs.
The model dv7t we reviewed has a 3rd generation Core i7 processor with a speed of 2.3GHz. With speed boost, the processor can work at around 3.3GHz. This is more than enough to run any type of program. HP recently introduced the Nvidia GeForce 630M and 650M to this computer, but we recommend using the 630 as it is powerful enough to support high-end software.
This laptop computer offers 8GB of RAM. This is one of the highest amounts of RAM we saw on a laptop computer. The dv7t Series also features 750GB of hard drive memory. This provides an ample amount of space for all your data on the laptop.
The battery life on this laptop did not meet our full expectations. The HP Pavilion dv7t offers a paltry five hours of battery life. This doesn’t give you much time to accomplish business tasks, and if you're on a trip and can't charge the battery often, you may not have enough power to last between charges.
This laptop's processor works well with HP's well designed, fully high-def display. The 1600 x 900 resolution screen highlights gaming and movies with crisp images and colors that really stand out. It has a wide viewing area, so not everyone has to cram around the screen to watch something.
The HP Pavilion dv7t offers an extensive feature set. There is an HP TrueVision HD webcam and a built-in microphone. There are several ports and slots available for additional memory and hardware, including four USB ports and an HDMI port. The HDMI port allows you to connect the laptop to a large monitor or an HDTV for a larger viewing experience. There are also five games preloaded on the dv7t Series for additional entertainment.
A powerful security feature is the HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive protection. This program will guard your hard drive if the computer is dropped. ProtectSmart senses when the laptop is falling and locks in the hard drive. It also offers more enhanced protection if it senses you are carrying the device while it is powered on.
HP's customer support and warranty are excellent. This device offers a two-year warranty on the hardware. This is a much longer warranty than you will find on many similar devices. Also, there are several options for reaching a customer service representative if any problems or concerns arise while using this laptop. There is a user forum located on the HP website for additional assistance and feedback from other users. There is also a section of the website for driver and software downloads."

lenovo ideapad z580 215127u
"Lenovo is a company that takes pride in simplicity and easy-to-use features. The IdeaPad Z580 laptop computer is no exception. Some user-friendly features include a one-touch Direct Share of files and OneKey Theater, giving you access to all your media files with the touch of a button.

This is still fast and you won't notice a lot of lag time running applications.

Unfortunately, you won't be playing games like Diablo 3 with the graphics settings turned all the way up.

There is also 750GB of hard drive storage included on this device. Plenty of space available to store all your important data means having a place to put all your images and videos.
The battery life on this laptop did not meet our full expectations. This laptop offers up to five hours of battery life on a single charge. That number will differ depending on the computer’s use and configuration but we were disappointed to see a lower amount of battery when compared to several similar devices.

hp envy 14 2130np
"The HP Envy 14 carries the portability of a laptop computer without losing the efficiency of a desktop. This laptop features a 14.5-inch display that is high definition. The third-generation Intel i5 processor keeps itself cool while allowing you to multitask. For such a small laptop, we were disappointed to see there are only five to six hours of battery life. However, the high-resolution display and Beats Audio will not only help you accomplish your media tasks, but also let you enjoy them.
Probably the most important specification we can list is this laptop has a 2.3GHz processor, and with Turbo Boost you can get up to 3.1GHz. It is a third-generation Intel CPU, so you can expect that it will stay cooler and use less energy than previous generations. This laptop also features a Radeon HD 6630 graphics card that is integrated, so you need to be careful when playing games as it can overheat quickly. This graphics card is unique in that it is actually two separate, switchable cards: one integrated and one discrete. If you are watching a movie or surfing the web, the system will use the integrated graphics card, but if you choose to play a game or do something more graphics heavy, the system will switch to the more powerful card, giving you more detail and better images.
This laptop computer includes 6GB of RAM and 500GB of hard drive space. This gives you an ample amount of space to store all your data. For such a small and average computer, this is a substantial amount of storage for your media files. As with any company, HP does give you the option upgrade your hard drive and RAM.
One drawback to this system is the short battery life. The laptop computer only lasts five hours, even with minimal use. We would love to see an hour or two more to make trips more enjoyable.
This laptop has a 14.5-inch display screen with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. This resolution provides images that are sharp and crisp with vivid colors. The HP Envy 14 is thin, at only 1.16 inches thick. It also weighs 5.53 pounds, making it fairly light and portable for when you carry it on long business trips or back and forth between classes.
The HP Envy 14 series boasts a full feature set. This laptop includes an HD webcam and a built-in microphone. This laptop uses Beats Audio, which offers excellent sound for listening to music or watching movies and TV shows. This laptop includes Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and three USB ports. There is an HDMI port available on the laptop, which allows you to connect your laptop to a large monitor or HDTV for a larger viewing experience.

Probably the most important specification we can list is this laptop has a 2.3GHz processor, and with Turbo Boost you can get up to 3.1GHz. It is a third-generation Intel CPU, so you can expect that it will stay cooler and use less energy than previous generations. This laptop also features a Radeon HD 6630 graphics card that is integrated, so you need to be careful when playing games as it can overheat quickly. This graphics card is unique in that it is actually two separate, switchable cards: one integrated and one discrete. If you are watching a movie or surfing the web, the system will use the integrated graphics card, but if you choose to play a game or do something more graphics heavy, the system will switch to the more powerful card, giving you more detail and better images.
This laptop computer includes 6GB of RAM and 500GB of hard drive space. This gives you an ample amount of space to store all your data. For such a small and average computer, this is a substantial amount of storage for your media files. As with any company, HP does give you the option upgrade your hard drive and RAM.
One drawback to this system is the short battery life. The laptop computer only lasts five hours, even with minimal use. We would love to see an hour or two more to make trips more enjoyable.
This laptop has a 14.5-inch display screen with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. This resolution provides images that are sharp and crisp with vivid colors.
