In boxing, most individuals prefer the heavyweights. However in the world of laptops, lighter is better. Lightweight laptops are in a class all their own. I highly recommend laptops for students, business people, and travelers.

Students want a lightweight laptop with Wi-Fi, CD/DVD burning, extra USB ports, long battery life, and something that weighs less than 6 lbs. The best lightweight student laptop is in a close race between the MacBook (4.5 pounds) and Averatec AV3270-EE1 (4.6 pounds)

Business people are always busy and on the go. Invest in a lightweight laptop with a large screen space, high resolution, 24-hour phone support, as well as added security (fingerprint reader) and durability (spill-resistant keyboard and shock-mounted hard drive). Add in a long last battery and Wi-Fi and the Dell Adamo (3.4 pounds) is the best business laptop you will find on the market. Dell is perfect for business people because the company sells business models separate from cheaper home-use models. The added attention equals better quality.

You’ve heard the term “it’s great to travel light?” Well, apply that to your electronics too. Travelers should not settle for anything but the lightest laptops available. Avoid a large processor and instead stick to a computer that allows enough room to add photos from a USB or firewire port. The ultra-light Dell X1 (2.5 pounds!) does not have an internal optical drive but is perfect for someone who just wants to browse the web and work with Microsoft Word.

Dell brands are highly recommended and offer a variety of models for business purposes. Macs are always known for their versatility and creative control. A lot of young adults prefer a Mac which makes them very popular for college students. Gateway has a reputation of putting out great PC’s and their lightweight laptops aren’t bad either. Sony, HP, and IBM/Lenovo offer a variety of products at some very reasonable rates.
