A very good notebook lets you do what you ought to do, while traveling. All the notebooks we take a look at in top rated laptops 2010 are excellent value for money. Try to match your needs with the specific attributes of one of these notebooks.

When purchasing a laptop I would recommend picking something which was not released over 12 months back. The market for these items is very competitive and new technologies enter frequently. If you buy an older notebook you will be paying more and receiving a lot less, compared to the newest models. The first spot to check out for new laptops is Amazon's best selling laptops page. That's an automatically updated list of the laptops that have been selling well lately and a great place to find value.


Acer Aspire AS5251-1805 15.6-Inch Laptop

Picture
When comparing the Aspire to a 800 dollar laptop computer it's not very impressive, but when compared with other entry level notebooks, it's remarkable value.

Design and style: I like the style of the Acer Aspire, it doesn't look or feel cheap, like several other notebooks in it's price range. The cover incorporates a mesh-patterned which guards the notebook from scratches and fingerprints.

Harddrive: The Aspire has a two hundred and fifty Gigabite SATA hard disk that does 5400 RPM. That's relatively basic, not too fast and not very large. It is produced by Hitachi, which is a reasonably high-quality brand.

RAM: The Aspire is sold with 3 GB of DDR 3 RAM which can be upgraded to eight Gig. That's plenty of RAM, this means you will be able to run the more memory hungry applications or a few applications, simultaneously.

CPU: The Aspire has a 2.20 GHz AMD V Series V120 single-core processor. That's fairly entry level, you won't be breaking any speed limits with this CPU.

8x DVD±R/RW drive: You do not generally get this with a less expensive notebook. Being able to run DVDs and write data to a DVD is a big plus for me.

Weight and size: It's a 15.6 inch notebook which is medium sized, but it weighs 5.74 pounds that is rather lightweight.

Webcam with a built-in digital microphone: This means it is possible to go online right away and video chat with people.

In my view the Acer Aspire AS5251-1805 is the best budget notebook of 2010.

Apple MacBook Pro

Picture
Apple notebooks tend to be more stable and secure  than pcs. They have fewer issues and handle those issues better. However they're a little more expensive than normal laptop computers, with the same capabilities.

CPU: The Computer chip is the 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It isn't the most up-to-date Intel CPU but it's fast and dependable.

Keyboard: One particular good little feature is that the keyboard is backlit, which means you can make use of it easily in the dark.

Warranty: The MacBook comes with a 12 month warranty on parts and ninety day telephone technical support. If you buy the Applecare plan, that extends the warranty and support to 3 years. I highly recommend Applecare as it might get expensive to repair this notebook.

Size and Weight: At 13.3 inches and 8.9 pounds the Macbook Pro is smallish, but slightly heavy. I would consider it a rather portable laptop computer.

RAM: The MacBook Pro has 4 Gig or DDR3 Memory and that is more than you are likely to need.

Battery life: The Macbook is a top quality laptop, which means it's parts tend to use a a bit more electricity. It is therefor remarkable that Apple managed to get the battery to last for up to ten hours between charges.
