What are they?
Mainstream notebooks deliver what most buyers are looking for in a portable: a screen that's not too small or too bis, a CPU that's powerful but that doesn't kill battery life, a chassis that's easy to carry but that doesn't make you forego a comfortable keyboard and on-board optical drive. In short, an all-purpose laptop is just right.

Who are they for?
Essentially, if a machine isn't intended for a niche buyer-someone looking for a tablet, an ultraportable, a desktop replacement, a budget model, and so on-it's a mainstream laptop. you'll find models tailored for business users, home PC buyers, students, and multimedia enthusiasts.

A large LCD with fast response times and good grayscale performance (to better render shadow detail) in also a must, and a good audios system doesn't hurt.
