Choosing Laptops for Desktop Replacement

For a machine that replaces a desktop what decides is performance held under sustained load, display size and the ports. In this class weight and battery come second; running plugged in is normal. Remember the same graphics chip is sold at different power limits; look at the power figure the maker states for this machine, not at the chip's name.
