A good ultrabook, a business laptop, or a MacBook will feel sturdier, last longer, and perform better than a cheap sub-$500 laptop with a mostly plastic frame and a basic processor. And a laptop that you primarily use around the house will last longer than one that you travel with frequently. Some business laptops and photo and video editing laptops allow you to upgrade their memory and storage to extend their useful life, and we have a repairable pick that’s specifically designed to make any part (not just the memory or storage) easy to upgrade and repair.\n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should I buy a MacBook or a Windows laptop?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"If you already use Macs or Windows computers and you like them, stick to the software you’re used to—don’t force an unfamiliar operating system on yourself unless you need to. Otherwise, if you have an iPhone or iPad that you like, a MacBook will work with the same Apple services, including iCloud Photos and iMessage. Windows laptops are better if you want something more affordable, if you want plenty of ports for connecting accessories, or if you want to play games. And if you want an even less-expensive laptop that's easier to use and harder to break, consider a Chromebook.\n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is a good price for a laptop?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"For general tasks—editing documents and spreadsheets, browsing the internet, doing homework, and communicating using apps such as Slack or Zoom—a cheap but usable laptop should cost between $400 and $600, a good laptop should be $700 or $800, and a great laptop typically costs at least $1,000. More powerful, specialized laptops, such as gaming notebooks or laptops for professional photo and video editing, start in the range of $1,000 to $1,500 and go up from there. If you have $500 or less to spend, Chromebooks tend to look, feel, and run better than equivalently priced Windows laptops. If you’re looking for a Mac, expect to pay at least $1,100 (or $1,000 with an educational discount) for our recommended MacBook Air configuration. Keep an eye on our Deals page if you’re able to wait for a better price on a specific laptop.\n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much RAM do I need?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We recommend 16 GB of memory for most MacBooks and Windows laptops, since a great laptop should last at least five years, and you can’t add more memory to most laptops after you buy them. In a budget laptop or a Chromebook, 8 GB should be enough for light tasks such as web browsing, document and spreadsheet editing, and occasional basic photo editing. You should consider 32 GB if you regularly use high-end applications like Adobe Photoshop or Premiere, if you play visually demanding games, if you’re doing 3D drafting, or if you work in web and app development.\n"}}]}</script><link rel="preload" as="image"

Or if you already have an iPhone, a MacBook will let you send texts with iMessage, make FaceTime video calls, and access your iCloud photos. That said, macOS and Windows have never been more similar, and most popular apps work just as well on either platform (or at least have alternatives that work similarly). If you’re interested in switching, it isn’t as big a deal as it used to be.</p><p>If you’re not tied to a platform, the biggest factor is how easily you can get support. Do you have an Apple Store nearby? Do your most tech-savvy friends use Windows? Does your school or job provide tech support? If you’re not a self-sufficient techie and want the best service for your computer, buy a Mac, because you can take it to any Apple Store to get it fixed. No other computer maker provides that level of support. (If you’re self-sufficient, go with what you like.)</p><p>Alternatively, since more tasks can be accomplished in a browser, without your downloading and installing any apps, you might not even need a traditional operating system—a <a href="#the-best-chromebook">Chromebook</a> may be all you need.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="the-best-windows-ultrabook"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="the-best-windows-ultrabook-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="The best Windows ultrabook" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="2">The best Windows ultrabook</h2><div id="the-best-windows-ultrabook-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="the-best-windows-ultrabook" aria-hidden="false"><div class="ebb615ab global-cob eaaa9459 e1e566ad d097cc30" data-scp="callout"><h4 class="d02b79e1 e20b6350" data-scp="callout_label">Top pick</h4><div id="callout-chapter-1-17" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="59803"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="59803"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="59803"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59803/201886/4/187696?merchant=Walmart" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="Walmart" data-vars-store="Walmart" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59803/201886/4/187696?merchant=Walmart" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="59803" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/59803/Asus-Zenbook-14-OLED--UM3406-_20240523-142437_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59803/201886/4/187696?merchant=Walmart" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406HA-WS74T)" data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Walmart" data-pick-type-id="1" data-pid="59803" data-store="Walmart" data-vars-store="Walmart" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59803/201886/4/187696?merchant=Walmart" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406HA-WS74T)</a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59803/201886/4/187696?merchant=Walmart" class="c44f6873" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The best ultrabook" data-store="Walmart" data-vars-store="Walmart" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59803/201886/4/187696?merchant=Walmart" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_title" data-scp="callout_title" data-pid="59803" data-gtm-context="inline">The best ultrabook</a></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">The Zenbook 14 offers excellent battery life, a vivid touchscreen, and a reliable keyboard and trackpad, all in a thin and light body.

They’re powerful enough to do everything most people need a computer for, and they have great keyboards, trackpads, and displays. You can expect to pay between $900 and $1,300 for a great Windows ultrabook that will last you at least four years, though excellent budget options are available for around $800.</p><p><strong>Where they fall short:</strong> Windows ultrabooks are in an odd place in 2024—many of the available options cost more than most people want to spend on a laptop, and they typically fall short of their promise of excellent battery life in a thin and light machine. We hope this situation will improve when laptops with new processors launch late this year. Ultrabooks also lack the processing power to play high-end games or handle demanding tasks such as professional video editing or 3D modeling.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_385547" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:66.65%;display:inline"><img alt="The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406) open to the home screen, sitting on a green background." data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/05/windowsultrabooks-2048px-2585-1.jpg" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-385547" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>Why we like this one:</strong> The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59803/201886/4/187695/?merchant=Walmart" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Walmart" data-pick-type-id="1" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59803/201886/4/187695/?merchant=Walmart" data-vars-store="Walmart" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-best-windows-ultrabook" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Walmart" data-pid="59803" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59803/201886/4/187695/?merchant=Walmart">Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406)</a> is a fantastic value.

href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-macbooks/">MacBook</a> is a safe bet; this is an excellent laptop for writers, office workers, commuters, and college students. The 13-inch models offer the best combination of size, weight, and performance. Powered by Apple’s M-series processors, these laptops have exceptionally good battery life compared with similarly priced Windows laptops. We recommend the M2 MacBook Air. It isn’t the newest version, but it delivers performance that’s nearly as good as that of the M3 MacBook Air, plus almost all the features, for hundreds of dollars less.</p><p><strong>Where they fall short</strong>: MacBooks are typically more expensive than Windows ultrabooks, especially if you want to upgrade the memory or storage—Apple’s SSD upgrade prices are so high that we usually recommend looking into cloud storage or an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-portable-ssd/">external SSD</a> instead. Our recommended MacBook configuration lacks the processing power to play demanding games.

The base 16 GB of memory that’s offered is enough for basic web browsing and office tasks, as well as if you need to do some basic video or media editing. If you’re the kind of person who has a few dozen browser tabs open at a time, we recommend upgrading the RAM to 24 GB. Like Apple’s other laptops, the MacBook Air has only a few ports—in this case, two Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports, which may require you to use a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-usb-c-hubs-and-docks/">hub</a> or <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-usb-c-video-cables-and-adapters/">new cables</a>.

school—and you can’t afford to spend a lot—you can find a decent one for less than $500. These computers are ideal for grade-school and middle-school students, people on a strict budget, and those who use their computers mostly at home in the evenings for doing schoolwork, browsing the web, managing a budget, or watching Netflix. Cheaper, lighter laptops tend to be too slow for everyday tasks, while faster, sleeker ones usually cost too much.</p><p><strong>Where they fall short:</strong> To get a laptop that doesn’t feel slow for a decent price, you have to make a lot of compromises. Most budget laptops that are fast enough tend to be bulky, heavy, and saddled with short battery life. They also tend to have low-resolution, low-quality screens that are unpleasant to look at. You have to be especially vigilant when shopping for a laptop in this price range to avoid slow or old processors, insufficient memory, and sluggish storage.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_397922" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:66.65%;display:inline"><img alt="The Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14 laptop sitting open against a lavender purple background." data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/07/laptopsunder500-2048px-5447.jpg" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-397922" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>Why we like this one: </strong>The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56458/207207/4/164546/?merchant=Walmart" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Walmart" data-pick-type-id="1" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56458/207207/4/164546/?merchant=Walmart" data-vars-store="Walmart" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-best-budget-windows-laptop" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Walmart" data-pid="56458" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56458/207207/4/164546/?merchant=Walmart">Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14 (A3SP14-31PT)</a> in any of our recommended configurations—<a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56458/207207/4/164546/?merchant=Walmart" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Walmart" data-pick-type-id="1" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56458/207207/4/164546/?merchant=Walmart" data-vars-store="Walmart" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-best-budget-windows-laptop" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Walmart" data-pid="56458" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56458/207207/4/164546/?merchant=Walmart">32M6</a>, <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56458/191641/4/164546/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="1" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56458/191641/4/164546/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-best-budget-windows-laptop" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="56458" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56458/191641/4/164546/?merchant=Amazon">37NV</a>, or <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56480/191666/4/164547/?merchant=Target" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Target" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56480/191666/4/164547/?merchant=Target" data-vars-store="Target" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-best-budget-windows-laptop" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Target" data-pid="56480" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56480/191666/4/164547/?merchant=Target">38YA</a>—is fast enough to meet most people’s computing needs.

footage or to batch-edit hundreds of photos, and a battery that will last through an entire day’s work. These professional-grade laptops are more costly than ultrabooks, ranging from $2,000 to $3,000, but they offer desktop performance away from the desk.</p><p><strong>Where they fall short: </strong>Laptops with color-accurate screens and enough power for creative professionals are expensive, and even more so with add-ons like extra storage and memory. Editing laptops also tend to be larger and heavier than ultrabooks, with most weighing more than 4 pounds. The powerful processors in editing laptops generate lots of heat, as well, so some can get too hot to use comfortably on your lap, though our top pick stayed cool even under the heaviest workloads. In addition, the MacBook Pro is impossible to service on your own, but Apple provides excellent support.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_420862" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:66.65%;display:inline"><img alt="The fastest editing laptop, the Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, M4 Pro, 2024)." data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/BEST-LAPTOPS-PHOTO-VIDEO-EDITING-2048px-6.jpg" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-420862" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Dave Gershgorn/NYT Wirecutter</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>Why we like this one: </strong>The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66221/209335/4/202557/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="1" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66221/209335/4/202557/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-best-macbook-for-photo-and-video-editing" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="66221" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66221/209335/4/202557/?merchant=Amazon">Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, M4 Pro, 2024)</a> combines a sharp display that’s color-accurate out of the box with Apple’s powerful and power-efficient M4 Pro processor. We found the laptop quick and responsive even when we were working with large 4K files. The Asus ProArt is faster at exporting 4K video, but that’s just one part of the video-editing process, and the MacBook Pro was a bit snappier when bringing clips into the editing timeline.</p><p>In addition to the MacBook Pro’s performance, we were impressed with its 17.5-hour battery life. It has three USB-C ports that support Thunderbolt 5, as well as an HDMI port, an SD card reader, a headphone jack, and a MagSafe charging port. While the performance of the MacBook Pro is stellar, it’s nearly impossible to repair or upgrade on your own.

these are for:</strong> If you’re a creative professional and you prefer Windows to macOS, don’t want a Mac, or are required to use Windows for compatibility reasons, this is your pick. In recent years, Windows ultrabooks have struggled to match the performance of the MacBook Pro models, though our new pick, the Asus ProArt 16, is one of the first Windows laptops to beat the MacBooks in our editing tests. Also, if you need a specific port or feature, you’re also more likely to find it on a Windows laptop than on a Mac, simply because the Windows world has more manufacturers and variety compared with Apple’s MacBooks.</p><p><strong>Where they fall short:</strong> As a whole, Windows laptops didn’t perform as well in our tests as the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Typically, their screens were less accurate, they were a bit slower, and they got hotter underneath where the processor was located. Certain models, such as the Asus ProArt 16 we recommend, can still go toe-to-toe with the MacBook in terms of speed, but Apple computers typically have better displays, and the systems stay cooler with quieter fans.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_420855" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:66.70%;display:inline"><img alt="Our top pick for best Windows laptop for video and photo editing, the Asus ProArt P16." data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/BEST-LAPTOPS-PHOTO-VIDEO-EDITING-2048px-asus3.jpg" width="2048" height="1366" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-420855" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Dave Gershgorn/NYT Wirecutter</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>Why we like this one: </strong>The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66220/209255/4/202561/?merchant=Best%20Buy" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Best Buy" data-pick-type-id="1" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66220/209255/4/202561/?merchant=Best%20Buy" data-vars-store="Best Buy" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-best-windows-laptop-for-photo-and-video-editing" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Best Buy" data-pid="66220" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66220/209255/4/202561/?merchant=Best%20Buy">Asus ProArt P16</a> is the first Windows laptop to beat Apple machines’ performance when exporting large 4K videos, and it’s an all-around great laptop for media editing.

Its display also has a 120 Hz refresh rate, so motion will seem smoother, and it’s better for some gaming on the side, if that’s your bag. The P16 has more ports than the MacBook Pro as well, adding two extra USB-A ports. However, its battery life is significantly shorter than that of the MacBook Pro, by about seven hours.</p><p><strong>Read more about this option in our <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-15-inch-laptops-for-photo-and-video-editing/">full guide to pro laptops</a>.</strong></p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="the-best-cheap-gaming-laptop"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="the-best-cheap-gaming-laptop-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="The best cheap gaming laptop" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="9">The best cheap gaming laptop</h2><div id="the-best-cheap-gaming-laptop-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="the-best-cheap-gaming-laptop" aria-hidden="false"><div class="ebb615ab global-cob eaaa9459 e1e566ad d097cc30" data-scp="callout"><h4 class="d02b79e1 e20b6350" data-scp="callout_label">Top pick</h4><div id="callout-chapter-1-22" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="66162"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="66162"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="66162"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66162/209077/4/202566?merchant=Best%20Buy" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="Best Buy" data-vars-store="Best Buy" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66162/209077/4/202566?merchant=Best%20Buy" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="66162" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/66162/Asus-TUF-Gaming-A14--FA401UV-DB74-_20241106-214449_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66162/209077/4/202566?merchant=Best%20Buy" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asus TUF Gaming A14 (FA401UV-DB74)" data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Best Buy" data-pick-type-id="1" data-pid="66162" data-store="Best Buy" data-vars-store="Best Buy" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66162/209077/4/202566?merchant=Best%20Buy" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">Asus TUF Gaming A14 (FA401UV-DB74)</a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66162/209077/4/202566?merchant=Best%20Buy" class="c44f6873" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The best gaming laptop under $1,500" data-store="Best Buy" data-vars-store="Best Buy" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66162/209077/4/202566?merchant=Best%20Buy" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_title" data-scp="callout_title" data-pid="66162" data-gtm-context="inline">The best gaming laptop under $1,500</a></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">This laptop has the newest generation of hardware and performs better than some of the most expensive models we tested.

Nowadays, a gaming laptop that costs around $1,500 can play most new games on high settings or better at 1920×1080 resolution above 60 fps. Even cheaper models that cost around $800 are ideal for classic games and less-demanding modern titles, and they can play most new games on at least medium settings. You don’t need to spend $2,000 on a more powerful gaming laptop to get great performance.</p><p><strong>Where they fall short:</strong> Every affordable gaming laptop we’ve tested has had at least one serious flaw. Some get way too hot, others have poor build quality, and some have dim screens with poor viewing angles. And compared with more portable options, such as ultrabooks, all gaming laptops are large, heavy, and saddled with short battery life.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_424589" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="The Asus TUF Gaming A14 (FA401UV-DB74) laptop sitting on a purple surface." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/cheapgaminglaptops-2048px-7981.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-424589"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>Why we like this one:</strong> The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66162/209077/4/202565/?merchant=Best%20Buy" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Best Buy" data-pick-type-id="1" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66162/209077/4/202565/?merchant=Best%20Buy" data-vars-store="Best Buy" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-best-cheap-gaming-laptop" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Best Buy" data-pid="66162" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66162/209077/4/202565/?merchant=Best%20Buy">Asus TUF Gaming A14 (FA401UV-DB74)</a> provides great gaming performance for the price.

A good <a href="#for-most-people-the-best-ultrabook">ultrabook</a>, a <a href="#the-best-business-laptop">business laptop</a>, or a <a href="#the-best-mac-laptop">MacBook</a> will feel sturdier, last longer, and perform better than a cheap <a href="#the-best-budget-windows-laptop">sub-$500 laptop</a> with a mostly plastic frame and a basic processor. And a laptop that you primarily use around the house will last longer than one that you travel with frequently. Some <a href="#the-best-business-laptop">business laptops</a> and <a href="#the-best-macbook-for-photo-and-video-editing">photo and video editing laptops</a> allow you to upgrade their memory and storage to extend their useful life, and we have <a href="#the-most-repairable-laptop">a repairable pick</a> that’s specifically designed to make any part (not just the memory or storage) easy to upgrade and repair.</p></div></div><div class="e970e32a"><h3 class="b819dcc5">Should I buy a MacBook or a Windows laptop?</h3><div class="f4b14e5a"><p>If you already use Macs or Windows computers and you like them, stick to the software you’re used to—don’t force an unfamiliar operating system on yourself unless you need to. Otherwise, if you have an iPhone or iPad that you like, a MacBook will work with the same Apple services, including iCloud Photos and iMessage. Windows laptops are better if you want something more affordable, if you want plenty of ports for connecting accessories, or if you want to play games. And if you want an even less-expensive laptop that's easier to use and harder to break, consider a Chromebook.</p></div></div><div class="e970e32a"><h3 class="b819dcc5">What is a good price for a laptop?</h3><div class="f4b14e5a"><p>For general tasks—editing documents and spreadsheets, browsing the internet, doing homework, and communicating using apps such as Slack or Zoom—a <a href="#the-best-budget-windows-laptop">cheap but usable laptop</a> should cost between $400 and $600, a <a href="#the-best-cheap-ultrabook">good laptop</a> should be $700 or $800, and a <a href="#for-most-people-the-best-ultrabook">great laptop</a> typically costs at least $1,000. More powerful, specialized laptops, such as <a href="#the-best-cheap-gaming-laptop">gaming notebooks</a> or laptops for <a href="#the-best-windows-laptop-for-photo-and-video-editing">professional photo and video editing</a>, start in the range of $1,000 to $1,500 and go up from there. If you have $500 or less to spend, Chromebooks tend to look, feel, and run better than equivalently priced Windows laptops. If you’re looking for a Mac, expect to pay at least $1,100 (or $1,000 with an educational discount) for <a href="#the-best-mac-laptop">our recommended MacBook Air configuration</a>. Keep an eye on <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/deals/">our Deals page</a> if you’re able to wait for a better price on a specific laptop.</p></div></div><div class="e970e32a"><h3 class="b819dcc5">How much RAM do I need?</h3><div class="f4b14e5a"><p>We recommend 16 GB of memory for most MacBooks and Windows laptops, since a great laptop should last at least five years, and you can’t add more memory to most laptops after you buy them. In a budget laptop or a Chromebook, 8 GB should be enough for light tasks such as web browsing, document and spreadsheet editing, and occasional basic photo editing. You should consider 32 GB if you regularly use high-end applications like Adobe Photoshop or Premiere, if you play visually demanding games, if you’re doing 3D drafting, or if you work in web and app development.</p></div></div></div></div></div></section></div><div class="f21e64f1 b5823c44 cdde21c0 e5f9b502 d4b00d15"><div data-scp="removed"><a id="author-bios"></a><h2 class="bcd0fe8e" data-testid="author-bio-title">Meet your guides</h2><div class="b56e1312"><div class="db49d064 e1e26e10 c5d85fe0"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b13cc510"><img loading="lazy" alt="" itemProp="image" src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/streams-kimber.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=100" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/streams-kimber.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=150" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/streams-kimber.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=150 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/streams-kimber.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=150&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/streams-kimber.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=150&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/streams-kimber.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=100 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/streams-kimber.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=100&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/streams-kimber.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=100&dpr=2 640w" width="150" height="150" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce af9a8523 e8eb0d8c"/></div><div><p class="df56fada" data-testid="author-name">Kimber Streams</p><div class="cf439f01 a6e78d5f" data-scp="removed" data-testid="social-group"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberstreams/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-testid="author-linkedin" data-gtm-trigger="contact_icon_linkedin" aria-label="Contact on LinkedIn"><svg class="c3a01a4c" width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 16" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="currentColor"><path d="M12.6667 0H3.33333C1.49267 0 0 1.49267 0 3.33333V12.6667C0 14.5073 1.49267 16 3.33333 16H12.6667C14.5081 16 16 14.5073 16 12.6667V3.33333C16 1.49267 14.5081 0 12.6667 0ZM5.33333 12.6667H3.33333V5.33333H5.33333V12.6667ZM4.33333 4.488C3.68933 4.488 3.16667 3.96133 3.16667 3.312C3.16667 2.66267 3.68933 2.136 4.33333 2.136C4.97733 2.136 5.5 2.66267 5.5 3.312C5.5 3.96133 4.97801 4.488 4.33333 4.488ZM13.3333 12.6667H11.3333V8.93067C11.3333 6.68533 8.66667 6.85533 8.66667 8.93067V12.6667H6.66667V5.33333H8.66667V6.51001C9.59733 4.78601 13.3333 4.65867 13.3333 8.16067V12.6667Z"></path></svg></a></div></div></div><div data-testid="author-bio-text"><div class="f955a053">What I Cover</div><p>I’ve been Wirecutter’s resident laptop expert for more than a decade.

They’re powerful enough to do everything most people need a computer for, and they have great keyboards, trackpads, and displays. You can expect to pay between $900 and $1,300 for a great Windows ultrabook that will last you at least four years, though excellent budget options are available for around $800. Where they fall short: Windows ultrabooks are in an odd place in 2024—many of the available options cost more than most people want to spend on a laptop, and they typically fall short of their promise of excellent battery life in a thin and light machine. We hope this situation will improve when laptops with new processors launch late this year. Ultrabooks also lack the processing power to play high-end games or handle demanding tasks such as professional video editing or 3D modeling. Why we like this one: The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406) is a fantastic value. It has the best combination of what makes an ultrabook great, offering fast performance, all-day battery life, a quality keyboard and trackpad, and a spacious, vivid screen, all in a thin and light body. At 14 hours, the Zenbook 14 OLED has the longest battery life of any Windows laptop we’ve tested so far in 2024. But compared with more expensive options, the Zenbook 14 lacks a 360-degree hinge and a fingerprint reader, its glossy touchscreen is reflective, and its speakers are mediocre. We recommend the UM3406HA-WS74T model with 512 GB of storage, but the UM3406HA-PS76T model with 1 TB is also a good option if the cheaper one is unavailable. We don’t recommend Snapdragon laptops for everyone just yet. After testing most of the newly released laptops with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X processors, we found that the Microsoft Surface Laptop (7th Edition, 13.8 inch) is an all-around excellent compact laptop with exceptional battery life. But we recommend it only if you can tolerate that some apps and peripherals simply won’t work until a developer builds an Arm version. Because these processors don’t use the x86 architecture that has been standard on Windows PCs for decades, we’re currently in a transition period similar to when MacBooks moved to Apple Silicon processors a few years ago. Microsoft’s app translation layer, Prism, runs x86 apps moderately well, but it’s likely at this stage that you’ll run into at least one thing that you simply cannot do. Also as of this writing, the most hyped (and most criticized) Copilot+ AI feature, Windows Recall, has not yet launched.

It isn’t the newest version, but it delivers performance that’s nearly as good as that of the M3 MacBook Air, plus almost all the features, for hundreds of dollars less. Where they fall short: MacBooks are typically more expensive than Windows ultrabooks, especially if you want to upgrade the memory or storage—Apple’s SSD upgrade prices are so high that we usually recommend looking into cloud storage or an external SSD instead. Our recommended MacBook configuration lacks the processing power to play demanding games. If you need a cheaper laptop or a more powerful one, check out our other picks below. Why we like this one: The 13-inch M2 MacBook Air delivers strong performance and fantastic battery life at a reasonable price. The base 16 GB of memory that’s offered is enough for basic web browsing and office tasks, as well as if you need to do some basic video or media editing. If you’re the kind of person who has a few dozen browser tabs open at a time, we recommend upgrading the RAM to 24 GB. Like Apple’s other laptops, the MacBook Air has only a few ports—in this case, two Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports, which may require you to use a hub or new cables. But the MacBook Air’s light weight, solid construction, and industry-leading support make it a great laptop, especially if you also own an iPhone or other Apple devices.

When something breaks out of warranty, when the battery wears out, or when you’re ready to upgrade after five or six years, you have to recycle or dispose of the entire laptop—even if some of its parts are still perfectly good. If you want the ability to upgrade and repair your laptop yourself and make it last longer without replacing the whole thing—which theoretically can save you money and create less e-waste over the years—our repairable pick is for you. Where they fall short: The availability of parts and upgrades for the Framework Laptop 13 is entirely dependent on the laptop’s manufacturer. If Framework goes under or it decides to stop designing and selling upgrades, this laptop will end up just like any other—when the computer breaks or outlives its usefulness, you’ll have to replace the whole thing. Other companies have attempted to make upgradable laptops in the past and have failed to follow through on the promise. Why we like this one: Every part of the Framework Laptop 13 (Intel Core Ultra Series 1) is super easy to repair and upgrade. Each part is helpfully labeled with handy QR codes that direct you to step-by-step replacement guides and links to the exact parts you’ll need. You can add more memory and storage, replace the battery, upgrade the mainboard with a new processor, and repair anything else if it breaks—the display, the fingerprint reader, the keyboard, the hinge, you name it. The Framework Laptop 13 is an excellent computer, too. It’s sturdy and surprisingly thin and light for how modular its design is, and its battery will last a full workday. It also has a reliable keyboard and trackpad, plus a bright and spacious display. But the ability to upgrade and repair this laptop down the line depends on the company continuing to exist and to supply parts. So far the company is off to a great start: Every year since it launched in 2021 the company has introduced upgraded parts. We recommend getting the 16 GB configuration or simply adding another 8 GB of memory to the base-model Framework Laptop. If you want the full experience of putting your laptop together, you can choose from a wider variety of parts by purchasing the DIY Edition instead.

Most budget laptops that are fast enough tend to be bulky, heavy, and saddled with short battery life. They also tend to have low-resolution, low-quality screens that are unpleasant to look at. You have to be especially vigilant when shopping for a laptop in this price range to avoid slow or old processors, insufficient memory, and sluggish storage. Why we like this one: The Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14 (A3SP14-31PT) in any of our recommended configurations—32M6, 37NV, or 38YA—is fast enough to meet most people’s computing needs. Plus, it has a tall, 14-inch 1920×1200 touchscreen and a 360-degree hinge, and its keyboard and trackpad are accurate and reliable. The Aspire 3 Spin 14 is also more compact and offers better battery life than most bulky Windows laptops in this price range. The Aspire 3 Spin 14 ships with Windows 11 S mode, which allows only apps from the Microsoft Store and limits you to Microsoft Edge for web browsing. But you can switch it to Windows 11 Home for free to install any program you need. It also comes with a ton of bloatware; we recommend following these steps to get rid of it. Choosing a budget laptop is tricky because you can find hundreds of variations. Their prices fluctuate constantly, too, and companies release and discontinue models with no warning. If our pick isn’t available, check our full guide to budget laptops for other options, as well as advice on how to shop for a budget laptop that doesn’t suck.

In recent years, Windows ultrabooks have struggled to match the performance of the MacBook Pro models, though our new pick, the Asus ProArt 16, is one of the first Windows laptops to beat the MacBooks in our editing tests. Also, if you need a specific port or feature, you’re also more likely to find it on a Windows laptop than on a Mac, simply because the Windows world has more manufacturers and variety compared with Apple’s MacBooks. Where they fall short: As a whole, Windows laptops didn’t perform as well in our tests as the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Typically, their screens were less accurate, they were a bit slower, and they got hotter underneath where the processor was located. Certain models, such as the Asus ProArt 16 we recommend, can still go toe-to-toe with the MacBook in terms of speed, but Apple computers typically have better displays, and the systems stay cooler with quieter fans. Why we like this one: The Asus ProArt P16 is the first Windows laptop to beat Apple machines’ performance when exporting large 4K videos, and it’s an all-around great laptop for media editing. It has an accurate 4K OLED display, a nice keyboard and speakers, and a control wheel on the trackpad that you can assign to scrub through your Premiere timeline or control specific sliders in other editing software. Its display also has a 120 Hz refresh rate, so motion will seem smoother, and it’s better for some gaming on the side, if that’s your bag. The P16 has more ports than the MacBook Pro as well, adding two extra USB-A ports. However, its battery life is significantly shorter than that of the MacBook Pro, by about seven hours.
