Probably not the best distro for Laptops, but many people on this list are using CentOS on their laptops.
So what's considered to be the "best" choice for laptops? I understand mileage may vary and so on, but I think there might maybe be a general consensus at least?
^^^^^^^^^
Not likely on this list. More likely, a "preponderance", maybe even a "majority", but I wouldn't be surprised if even those aren't achieved. BTW, "general" is redundant with "consensus".

I'm sorry. I'm not a native English speaker or writer.
Ok, so what would you guys suggest using on a laptop, if CentOS was not an option? I read in an earlier post where somebody suggested chosing distro based on the hardware. Suppose this hardware is a Dell Latitude a few years old, with no built-in wifi, but rather either a Dlink DFE-680TXD or a 3com 3CRWE154G72.
