Choosing a laptop usually comes down to three priorities – weight, power and price. For business travelers that has often meant accepting a smaller display and a slower processor because portability is the most important factor.

Greater power has certainly become paramount, although the importance of a laptop you can carry easily will still be front of mind. Is it possible to find the ideal notebook computer, one that has a display big enough for easy home use and sufficient speed to keep everything motoring along, but is not too heavy to carry? While battery life is less important if the computer can be plugged in all day, that won’t always be the case, so it’s still an important factor.
