Best Power for Laptops
This list is all about processing power; not necessarily the kind of power which will affect your gaming experience. No, this kind of horsepower aims to get complicated operations done.
If, for instance, you want to reduce video rendering time or edit high-resolution graphics, this list is for you. It is, however compiled with no pause for budget; If you're strapped for cash, scroll down to the budget section for the most powerful options at below-average prices.
Most power across the board US$1650 - US$4210
