Looking for a laptop, but confused by the herculean task of balancing all the latest features you want in a laptop that won't break the bank? Fear not, Citizen, because Best Buy joined with Toshiba, Sony and Dell at this week's CES 2010 to announce their Best Buy Blue Label 2.0 family of laptops.

When Best Buy created the original Blue Label line of laptops with our partners in the computer industry, the goal was to create a family of laptops from a range of manufacturers that all had features our customers told us were the most important to them at the time.

Power

These laptops come ready to go for both work and play, with their new Intel i5 processors that were designed to provide plenty of performance in a small package, while still keeping in mind the energy needs of a portable PC. These machines are ready to multi-task, with their 4GB of system memory, and have plenty of space with their 500GB hard drive to keep all the music, movies, photos and programs you need for life on the go.

Protection

Best Buy won't leave you hanging when you leave the door with your new Blue Label laptop, as each comes with a 2-year manufacturer's limited warranty to help keep that hardware working. Your software is also protected from malicious software with twelve months of installed antivirus protection included. Even setup is a breeze, with thirty days of support from the professional Agents at Geek Squad also included.

Connectivity

Probably the most striking thing about the new Blue Label laptop family is the inclusion of Intel's Wireless Display technology. What this does is allow you to cut the cables, and easily stream the display output from your laptop to an HDMI-capable TV. With all the video content available through your computer in this broadband-enabled world, it's a very compelling feature. Imagine easily sending that video out to your big screen TV across the room with just the press of a button, while your laptop is within arm's reach from the couch.

Exclusively at Best Buy

The Blue Label family of laptops will be available exclusively through Best Buy starting January 17th, but if you're in Las Vegas for the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, you can catch a sneak peek now.
