This article offers some helpful pointers in discovering the best laptops of 2012. While there might be certain brands that you prefer, because some companies have improved considerably over the years, it is good to be open to other possibilities. Its important to browse within your budget because you can't really compare a computer that only costs a couple hundred dollars to one that is over thousand. The low cost of living in the Philippines gives me more money to buy fun things like computers.
One that is a consistently rated at the top by many experts is the most recent version of a classic, the Apple MacBook Air MC966LL/A. It says quite a lot that this Apple laptop is actually 2.5 times faster than previous ones. It also has the OS X Lion, the latest operating system as well as the high speed Thunderbolt drive. This 13.3 inch laptop boots up in just seconds with its 1.8GHz Intel dual core i7 processor and flash storage. Apple has a variety of unique features and the OS Lion includes iTunes, QuickTime and other features such as Tim Machine which makes it easier to back up everything that is on your computer. Apple does offer extensive customer service, which is the advantage of buying an Apple computer and an area where other brands lag behind. The Sony Vaio series are high-end laptops that have been popular for quite a while, and the latest is the Sony Vaio SE1 Series VPCSE16FX/S. You get a speedy Intel Core i5 2.40 GHz processor in this 15.5" laptop with plenty of RAM at 6GB. This computer comes with a Blu-Ray disc drive, which makes it good for anyone who watches lots of movies, especially in HD resolution which works in the format. You will get a lot of use out of this laptop if you like making movies, because you are also able to create your own DVDs and CDs. If you need to use any peripherals, there is an ultra-fast USB 3.0 port, in addition to two USB 2.0 ports, and it is easy to use in the dark with the backlit keyboard.
There are some good choices in high performance laptops for gamers. One laptop is the Maingear EX-L 15 which has Nvidia GTX-485M mobile graphics and an Intel Core i7 CPU. It offers a lot of useful ports, including an ethernet, HDMI and two USB 3.0 ports. Gaming laptops do cost a lot more than a conventional one, and the Maingear EX-L 15 is close to $2500 so probably only the really serious games will probably consider it. At almost seven pounds, like many gaming machines, this is bulkier than your average laptop.
We have covered just a few of the best choices for 2012 laptops here. It can be difficult to compare the variety of laptops because comparing one kind of laptop such as an ultra compact notebook to a gaming laptop that costs four times as much isn't very meaningful. If you want the best laptop, you really have to think of how you plan to use it.
