For home laptop use (non-gaming) be sure to check out PC-BSD. It's screaming fast, super stable and very responsive.

In this particular article it was a solid, but not fastest, performer in the transcoding benchmarks they ran, which were about as close to web serfing and video watching. PC-BSD is the fastest bar none if you're compiling software or iops intensive workloads.
