Top 3 Mainstream Laptops

The mainstream category of the laptops is slowly being done away with. Now, more and more laptops are falling into the ultra-portables, or the desktop replacements. However, the mainstream laptops might offer the best value for money today. Although they might seem to be stuck in the middle ground, this actually works to your advantage because they include the best of the lighter and the heavier models and are in my eyes the best buys if you don't have some specific needs. Although not as powerful as a gaming desktop replacement and not as light as an ultra-portable, the mainstream laptops let you play a few games, but are also easy to carry around. As such, they're a good option for a college student or serve well in the role home system as a multimedia center and a few games. And the low cost of these laptops also makes them a very good choice indeed. Here are the top 3 mainstream laptops:

Velocity Micro NoteMagix L80 Ultra - The Velocity Micro NoteMagix L80 Ultra offers plenty of power for its size and price. The 2 x 1GB RAM, 100GB 7200 RPM hard-disk and the Intel Core 2 Duo (2.33 Ghz), along with the 256 MB nVidia GeForce Go 7600 provides more than enough power for even some high-def gaming. This is visible in the price which is higher than many other laptops, but is still very affordable for the stuff it offers. The Velocity Micro NoteMagix L80 Ultra also features a fingerprint reader which is a neat addition. At just 6lbs, this is a very good purchase for the price.
