Product Information

You use a lot of web applications: Storage space on these laptops is limited, but that's less of an issue if you use Google Docs or Microsoft 365 as productivity apps and rely more on cloud storage for files and photos. Apple’s M2 chip has plenty of things going for it, with ample performance for everyday use and even some media editing, but it does so while sipping power and running silently—there are no noisy fans in the Air, and the performance is still top-notch. The M2 Air offers great capabilities and decent battery life, making it the go-to choice for Apple fans and Windows refugees alike. Who It's For

Note that not all laptop SSDs are created equal. SSDs that use the more modern, generally faster PCI Express NVMe standard, as opposed to the older, slightly slower SATA interface, are preferable. (PCI Express SSDs are slowly taking over the field, in any case.) Either of these, however, is far better than a third type, which is a not-quite-SSD: the much slower eMMC, a kind of flash storage drive found in budget machines. (If your budget laptop has 32GB, 64GB, or possibly 128GB of local storage, it is probably using eMMC.) All of them are better than a traditional spinning hard drive unless you simply need sheer capacity for the least money. (Credit: Joseph Maldonado) These kinds of budget laptops are regularly found on sale, but every now and then we do spot savings that offer mid-range specs for entry-level prices. This large laptop has a 16-inch screen. It weighs 1.8kg, which you’ll feel if you’re carrying it around all day. For this reason, it’s better suited to home use and spending most of its time on a desk. At the other end of the size spectrum are 17-inch laptops. They mostly appeal to hardcore gamers, but you can find the occasional 17-inch productivity machine or workstation if you happen to like a larger screen for other reasons. A 17-inch laptop can closely mimic the experience of a desktop, at the expense of size and weight. More options: Traditional laptops, 2-in-1 machines, Surface devices and premium Chromebooks are all well-represented in this price range so you have lots of choices depending on your needs and preferences.

Few people who aren’t professional or prosumer content creators will see much additive benefit from memory amounts above 16GB. On the flip side of that, a budget Windows system with just 4GB of memory will be sluggish with multitasking and is generally indicative of a bare-bones configuration. The same is true of Chromebooks—although ChromeOS is designed to demand fewer computing resources than Windows does, if you’re prone to performing memory-intensive tasks like browsing with dozens of tabs open at once, 4GB can be limiting.

Creative powerhouses: Into creative tasks such as photo and video editing or music creation? Many laptops in this price range – especially MacBooks – are designed with those tasks in mind so will excel in those areas. If you need high-end silicon for multimedia editing work or heavy data manipulation, you'll find the latest Dell XPS 15 able to get it all done and then some. Plus, this year's model upholds Dell's reputation for long battery life, lasting well past half a day. Of course, Dell hopes the 4K OLED touch screen will be a draw (and it is); it still aces both the sRGB and DCI-P3 gamuts and produces leading brightness. For the visually focused, whether for work or play, this laptop will please. Dell often has some kind of online voucher code or discount active, so it pays to wait for one before buying. RAM and Storage: Opt for sufficient RAM to ensure smooth multitasking and select the appropriate storage capacity to store your files, documents, and multimedia content.It comes with a stylus for writing and drawing directly on the screen, so it should appeal to anybody who prefers handwritten notes or those who want to produce drawings and graphics. Enhance your visual experience with our high-resolution monitors for immersive gaming, work, or entertainment. Light gaming: You won't be running modern games in the highest quality, but if you like to play indie games or classic older releases in your downtime, then some of these devices are powerful enough to do so. You need all-around performance: As we hit the mid-range for a laptop, these devices generally offer solid all-around performance for your work and leisure needs with powerful components, up-to-date features and lots of storage.

These typically have just two or four individual cores. At the other end of the spectrum, high-end powerhouse laptops have Intel’s Core i9 or workstation-class Xeon CPUs, with as many as eight cores.

But in the years since smartphones took on all these jobs, laptops have honed their own talents. Amazing battery life and breathtaking screens are now common if you look in the right place for them.

A laptop won’t revolutionize the minutiae of your life the way a smartphone can. You can’t easily whip one out to kill time in the elevator, capture a breathtaking sunset, or pay for a cup of coffee.
