Long gone are the days of bulky, unwieldy laptops with gigantic power cords. They are being replaced with increasingly compact designs every year. Even with a host of style and performance upgrades consistently raising the standard, that's not enough for some users. For laptop users who have a lot of places to be and people to see, only the thinnest, lightest laptops will do. Whether it's ultimately for style or for function, having a sleek laptop with premium specs can make a big difference on the subway or in the conference room.
