Want to buy a Windows 8 laptop, but not sure about which laptop is best for you?

Consumers are spoiled for choice when it comes to buying a Windows laptop. To help you in your purchase, we provide a brief review of the top 3 Windows laptops of 2013.

Samsung Series 7 Chronos

The Apple MacBook Pro lookalike, Samsung Series 7 Chronos is packed with several features, the most notable being impressive battery life. The laptop we tested gave us about 7 hours of streaming video over wireless Internet connection.

However, unlike the original Series 7 Chronos, which was powered by Intel Core i7 processor, this laptop runs on i5. When solely judged on performance, the new Series 7 Chronos is not as impressive as its predecessor. The result, however, is hardly surprising because the latest Series 7 Chronos is substantially cheaper than the original Series 7 laptop. That said, the laptop has enough power to easily handle basic tasks like running office software and video- or photo- editing.

The screen has a matt finish, so you don’t have to worry much about reflection and glare. Good as this laptop’s screen is, it is not touch-sensitive. So if you are smitten by Windows 8 Metro interface, this laptop is not the one you would want to bring home.

Samsung Series 7 Chronos’ sleek body, impeccable looks, and decent performance makes it an ideal laptop for those who want a great-looking, non-touch Windows 8 laptop for everyday use.

Dell Inspiron 15R-5521

Dell Inspiron 15R-5521 is marketed as a competitively-priced, decent-looking all round performer. And, we believe, Dell has certainly got it right with this laptop.

Available in different colors, Inspiron 15R-5521 is a budget laptop with looks that may put many expensive laptops to shame. Although its case is plastic, it doesn’t feel or look cheap.

The laptop comes with a choice of Intel i3 and i5. Naturally, the one with dual core i5 delivers a superior performance and costs more. It handles office applications and web browsing with utmost ease and delivers decent performance when subjected to video-editing or other more demanding tasks.

Inspiron’s battery life is most impressive, and can keep going for almost the whole day when using only office applications.

To sum it up, in its price range, Dell Inspiron 15R-5521 reigns supreme and is on a par with, if not better than, some expensive laptops.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch

ThinkPad X1 Carbon has it all—stylish design, solid performance, and quality built.

The design, while minimalist, or perhaps because of it, is outstanding. ThinkPad X1 Carbon is all black except for some red highlights. It is as good lid closed as it is with it open. Mainly constructed of carbon fire, the ThinkPad is, and feels, premium and stylish.

When it comes to performance, the Carbon is second to none and is available with both Intel i5 and Intel i7 processor. It performs all everyday functions like streaming video over WiFi or running office applications with ease.

All in all, ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a perfect laptop for those who want both great looks and superior performance.

On a different note, irrespective of which laptop you buy, it is extremely important that you protect it against the Internet Security Threats. The best way to do so is by using a reliable antivirus tool.
