Best Linux distro for a laptop?

You'd be blown away/utterly confused by plasma :^D

This is my xfce desktop. It's pretty much how gnome2 shipped by default, but I have my launchers and stuff setup the way I like...

For a laptop I find Mint with XFCE desktop usually works pretty well as it's fairly light weight.
