The Best Laptops of 2009
As they year comes to an end, it is now time to round up some of the best laptop models of 2009. After reviewing PCs for so long, I must say that 2009 has been one of the most exciting years ever! Here is a short list of some of the best full-featured laptops of this year.
Apple MacBook Pro: Since the launch of the new range of MacBook Pro laptops earlier this year, they have taken the laptop market by storm. Consumers were snapping them up (and still are) like hot cakes and tech critics showered them with raving reviews. If you ever had the pleasure of using one of these laptops, it would be easy to see why. There are tones of new features (such as a lower starting price, FireWire port, SD card slot, etc) and it also sports a new sleek design. The batteries now have a longer lifespan and the new Snow Leopard OS also adds to the pleasure of using these laptops. All in all, if you have the extra cash to spare, the new Apple MacBook Pro will prove to be a great buy!
Asus UL Series: The Asus UL series is one of my favorites laptop collection for this year. They are ultra-slim laptops that come with an amazing battery life. The Asus UL80VT-A1 model for instance has an impressive 11.5-hours of battery life. These are full-sized laptops (in terms of screen and keyboard size). They come with HD LED-backlit displays and usually have lots of RAM and a spacious hard disk. Best of all, they are also quite affordable (compared to other ultra-thin laptop models).
Toshiba Satellite Series:The Toshiba Satellite Series has been in the market for a very long time now and for good reasons too! Toshiba laptops are famous for being extremely reliable and very durable. So if you are looking for a full-sized and full-featured laptop, a laptop from the Toshiba Satellite series will prove to be an excellent choice. They are usually very well-priced, practical and powerful.
Acer Aspire AS1410-8414: I have single handedly picked this laptop from the bunch because I thought that it was one of the most interesting laptop models of 2009. The Acer Aspire AS1410-8414 is labeled as a 11.6-inch laptop, but I say that it is more of a laptop-netbook hybrid. It has a comfortable full-sized keyboard, a HD display and netbook price tag. The RAM on this laptop can be upgraded to a maximum of 4GB and it comes with an Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor. At the moment, the Acer Aspire AS1410-8414 retails at just around $418 each!

| Review by Weagle (GA) 2010-07-18 Count me in as one who is disappointed.

| Review by Sean Albro (SEGUIN, TX, US) 2010-07-28 I love the portability of the Toshiba Mini, but the keyboard often requires hitting a letter several times to get it to appear.
