In Pictures: Best business laptops for Windows 7

Microsoft is aiming to make a splash on October 26 with the debut of Windows 8, but most businesses aren’t leaping to upgrade right away. If you’re planning to run Windows 7 for a while, but you still need to buy hardware today, one of these laptops could be just right for you or the staff you manage. We put a clutch of Ultrabooks and lightweight laptops with good battery life to the test to help you pick the perfect machine for your workplace.

Big screen: Acer TimelineUltra M5

While most ultraportable laptops draw the line for screen size line at around 13 inches, the TimelineUltra M5 from Acer takes it up a notch, sporting a 15.6-inch screen.

Unfortunately, Acer fills that extra real estate with only a 1366-by-768-pixel display–a letdown considering that the M5 also comes packed with a Nvidia GeForce GT 640M GPU for above-average graphics performance.
