So what are some of the best laptops in the market? Personally I find that models from Dell, Sony and Lenovo are very good. For example, the Dell Inspiron series are of tremendous value, giving you the best bang for your buck. Other models like Sony Vaio and the Lenovo Thinkpads are also good choices.

Some of my favorites include the Lenovo Thinkpad X61, the Sony Vaio SZ, the Apple MacBook Pro and the Dell XPS M1710. If you’re interested, you can hop over to CNET.com to check out the top selling laptops in the market.

What's the best laptop for your needs?

One important thing to remember is that you should also consider whether the laptop suits your needs. Don’t just go for the best laptop in the market just because it sells well. If, for example, you want a laptop for playing games, you should go buy a best-selling business laptop.

Another thing to consider is your budget. Remember, the selling price of most top-end laptops is around $1000. To me, that is actually a hefty sum. So if you can compromise on certain features, you can set your budget a bit lower.
