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.

Curvaceous: Vizio CT14-A2 Ultrabook

Vizio chose to leave out a few features in the CT14-A2 to save on space, and the payoff is immediately apparent in this Ultrabook's superthin, curvaceous look. Like other Ultrabooks, the CT14-A2 packs good performance and impressive battery life into an exceedingly slim package.

You still get two USB 3.0 ports and HDMI connectivity, but the lack of an ethernet port, a flash card reader, and keyboard backlighting is worth noting if you’re considering Vizio's first Ultrabook offering.
