Now that Windows 7 is out, your old laptop might be tad short of maximizing the features of Windows 7. Picking a laptop can be a complicated task. You have to balance features against price and portability. Rumor has it, as it goes everytime windows releases an newer more sophisticated version, that to be able to enjoy Windows 7 best, you need a laptop that packs a lot of storage space, a fast processor, bigger RAM, and so on.

Well, not exactly. But here are some things to keep in mind in choosing a laptop for Windows 7.

Pumped-up Features

First, it has to have a 64-bit processor. Intel Core 2 Duo CPU guarantees that you get Windows 7 to work just fine. This processor supports 64-bit applications. With the RAM, the bigger it gets, the better is the performance but a 2 GB will work just fine. You would also want a big hard drive – at least 250 GB.

You might also want a larger screen to enjoy the visual fun brought by Windows 7. However, if you go for portability, your options might be limited. A screen size of at least 14.1 inch display and a good resolution is recommended to better enjoy the visual elements of Windows 7.

With these in mind, there are a lot of laptops to choose from. The most interesting are:

Tough, Classy and Pricey
The HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment is the ultimate multimedia laptop. It has a large screen, powered by the latest processor and graphics technology and looks good as it runs great. It is ideal for entertainment as it allows you to enjoy music in first-rate quality audio, play games as if you are using a desktop, and edit high-definition photos, videos and graphics. Definitely the perfect windows 7 companion. The price is restrictive though as it hovers around $850.00 up and portability is a bit of an issue.
The ASUS UL30A-X5 mid-size laptop has an amazing battery life of 12 hours. It sports hard-core features that support vibrant visuals, high-speed processing and energy efficiency. It is also look and is very portable weighing less than 4 pounds and is very thin. It sports a multi-gesture touchpad that enables intuitive zooming in or out of pictures via pinching, or navigating up and down pages by sliding your finger. Price range is $600.00-750.00.
Good Features at Better Prices
Not all laptops that come with Windows 7 are too expensive. Obviously, the cost of Windows 7 helped drove prices up. But there are affordable choices too.
Take the Acer Aspire AS1410-2954 Notebook that comes with an Intel Celeron Processor 743, 2048MB DDR2 667MHz Memory, 11.6" HD Widescreen CineCrystal LED-backlit Display, Mobile Intel GS45 Express Chipset, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, 250GB SATA Hard Drive, Acer Crystal Eye Webcam, Dolby Sound Room Audio Enhancement, Intel WiFi Link 1000 802.11n, and a Multi-gesture Touchpad.
To the uninitiated, these all mean that this is a machine that works hard and at par with the pricey ones. And there are a lot of models like these from different companies. So we need not despair. With the itch to move on to the enhanced Windows 7, the machines we need to keep it running are actually not as expensive as hyped. GP
