What are your criteria for best? Do you want something extremely fast? Do you want ridiculous battery life? Do you want an extremely light and portable machine? Do you prefer large screens or small? Extremely high resolution or the standard (which seems to be around 1366x768)? Extremely high durability, so that you can throw it at walls without worrying? SSDs go without saying, of course, but aren't hard to swap in after buying a machine, so can be ignored somewhat. Using my criteria for all of that, the best windows laptop is probably either Asus's U30Jc or U36Jc. I'm a fan of Asus, though, so that might just be because of that bias.
