what is the best linux distribution for a fairly powerful laptop? (i5, 8 gb ram)

arch, or you're lazy, debian, those are the only two distros worth a damn

Stick mint on it and see if you like it. I put mint on an i3 with 4 gigs of ram and found myself just using it after windows 7 didn't seem to like my ssd. Just running windows 7 virtually in mint and it's never been happier.

Suse is a pretty good distro, but more popular overseas than in the US for some reason. I use it at work and was pleasantly surprised

Debian is shit. Just go with Ubuntu, it's easier to use.
Something with xfce if you care about battery life at all
