There is no specific best laptop for Solidworks although you need to keep in mind that with that program you will need high specs for RAM and the processor 2GH or higher, graphics card will be a good help too though it isn't quite a need since Solidworks does not use your graphics card in complicated processes. You might as well take note that if you are running this in HD or in higher resolution you might need a RAM that is at least 6GB.

In buying laptops it is best to stick with the specifications the program you wish to run requires, create a list from the top makers of these laptop and then check customer reviews in forums or such to see if the purchase will be well worth it.
