He started the Amherst Student's first technology column, worked in IT support for many (many) years, and eventually moved to Brooklyn to cover New York's tech scene in 2009. After several years at VentureBeat, where he reviewed gadgets, covered countless early startups and led East Coast coverage, he joined Engadget to focus on consumer technology in 2014. Devindra focuses PC and gaming hardware -- including laptops, video cards and consoles -- home entertainment, and anything he finds particularly cool. He also launched, and currently co-hosts, the latest iteration of the Engadget Podcast. He holds no awards, but M. Night Shyamalan once played with his iPhone. When he's not diving into tech, he's probably at the movies, binging TV, or podcasting about why The Fast and Furious is the definitive franchise of our time.","isCreator":false,"providerBrands":[],"id":"fd5641c0-dc5c-11e7-a35f-62ce0d74435b","url":{"external":false,"link":"https://www.engadget.com/about/editors/devindra-hardawar/"},"logo":{"size":{"original":{"width":500,"height":500,"url":"https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/7bf86900-aa5a-11ee-af37-00cf16fbdc05"},"resized":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/pm9NNYx6s2hTLTQZ6v82Dw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTgwO2g9ODA-/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/7bf86900-aa5a-11ee-af37-00cf16fbdc05","width":40,"height":40}}},"social":{"twitter":"devindra"}}],"canonicalSite":"engadget","canonicalUrl":"https://www.engadget.com/computing/laptops/best-laptops-120008636.html","categoryLabel":"Technology","challengeTags":[],"commentsAllowed":true,"commentsCount":0,"commerceArticleType":"bestList","commerceExtractedKeywords":["apple 13 inch macbook air m3","dell xps 13","asus rog zephyrus g14","lenovo ideapad flex 5","hp pavilion aero","apple 2024 macbook pro laptop with m4 chip","hp spectre x360 14","microsoft surface laptop 7th edition","lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon gen 12","apple macbook air m3"],"contentMeta":{"adPostions":{"photos":{},"DEFAULT":34},"bodySlots":{"commerceQuickOverviewSlot":{"id":"caas-commerce-quick-overview","insertIndex":1}},"cover":null,"embeds":null,"hasEmbedAtBeginning":false,"hasEmbedAtEnd":false,"hasYahooVideo":false,"isLongArticle":false,"potentialSlots":0,"outstreamAdPosition":-1,"readMorePosition":-1,"totalParagraphs":0,"contentI13n":{}},"contentType":"story","description":"Picking your next laptop can be a daunting task.

in real time. These AI PCs can optimize battery life, manage power across tasks and even enhance webcam quality during video calls. While AI integration is still relatively new in laptops, it’s a feature to watch if you’re considering future-proofing your setup. Plus, it’s exciting to see how these AI-powered PCs might handle everything from productivity to entertainment, offering smart adjustments and enhancements that could make our digital lives a bit easier.<br><br>Out of all of the notebooks we've tested and reviewed recently, we consider Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air M3 to be the best laptop for most people, and this is still the case for our top picks to start off the new year. It's powerful enough to handle most tasks (even light video editing); it has a great screen and built-in speakers; and its battery could last around 20 hours (depending on what you're doing, of course). The MacBook Air M3 is also one of the lightest and thinnest systems we've reviewed, and it's dead silent, thanks to a fanless design. While Apple has debuted its new M4 chip in the recent iPad Pro, we may not see it in the MacBook Air until next year. For now, the MacBook Air M3 is still an excellent laptop to buy, particularly if you need a machine with good battery life.<br><br>Of course, not everyone wants a MacBook, and there are excellent <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-windows-laptop-130018256.html" data-ylk="slk:Windows laptops;cpos:1;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Windows laptops</a> and <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-chromebooks-160054646.html" data-ylk="slk:Chromebooks;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Chromebooks</a> out there, too. Windows systems offer a range of configurations, from budget to high-end UHD screens with stunning IPS panels that boast high nits for vivid brightness. Chromebooks, on the other hand, tend to be more affordable and are great for users who mostly work online. Whether you need a powerhouse for creative work, a compact system for note-taking, or a laptop that can handle family movie night, there’s something for everyone in today’s laptop market.</p><div

Apple didn't change much with the latest iteration, but that's to be expected considering the last entry was the most significant redesign in almost a decade. The new 13-inch MacBook Air gets a faster M3 chip, as well as the ability to run dual external monitors (but only when the lid is closed) and support for Wi-Fi 6E. There’s also a finger-print free finish for the black “midnight” model that actually works!</p> <p>It's hard to improve on a laptop we previously considered <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/macbook-air-m2-review-2022-130040098-130040785.html" data-ylk="slk:near-perfect;cpos:5;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">near-perfect</a>, but a new chip certainly helps. The M3 processor is around 20 percent faster than the M2 for both single-core and multi-core tasks, and it offers a significant GPU bump, along with support for real-time ray tracing. Battery life remains best in class, with enough juice to get you through multiple work days without reaching for a charger.</p> <p>It also has one of the best keyboards we’ve ever seen in a laptop – it’s wonderfully tactile and responsive – and the trackpad is spacious and smooth to the touch. Even the speakers are light years beyond what you’d find on most other systems. The only major knock against the MacBook Air is that it only has a MagSafe charging port and two USB-C connectors on its left side. That makes charging a bit more awkward if your plug can only reach the right side of the machine. But hey, at least there’s still a 3.5mm headphone jack, something that’s become increasingly hard to find in ultra-thin notebooks these days.</p> <p>If you need more screen space, the <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:6;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=99a7fb08-b4cb-3598-890c-6f6d878339b1&featureId=editorial-text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ1gyM0dGTUovcmVmPWZzX2FfbWJ0Ml91czQ_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiOTlhN2ZiMDgtYjRjYi0zNTk4LTg5MGMtNmY2ZDg3ODMzOWIxIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ1gyM0dGTUovcmVmPWZzX2FfbWJ0Ml91czQiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJlZGl0b3JpYWwtdGV4dC1saW5rIn0&signature=AQAAAetM-GvSZn1bRFpLTAmpCI1fgaDqs2Lw-d641b62fU5d&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CX23GFMJ%2Fref%3Dfs_a_mbt2_us4&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fcomputing%2Flaptops%2Fbest-laptops-120008636.html" class="link rapid-noclick-resp rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:15-inch MacBook Air;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:6;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:1;itc:0">15-inch MacBook Air</a> will serve you well.

But it also has everything we previously liked about the XPS 13 Plus: An edge-to-edge keyboard with lusciously large keys, along with a huge “invisible” trackpad nestled within its glass wrist rest. And of course, it features a nearly border-less “Infinity Edge” screen, which has been a mainstay of the XPS line for almost a decade.</p> <p>When it first debuted, the XPS 13 Plus was a more powerful alternative to Dell’s thinner and weaker XPS 13. While we’ll miss the previous XPS (which you can still find refurbished), it makes sense for Dell to lean into its stunning new aesthetic. The 2024 XPS 13 Plus looks more refined than the vast majority of Windows ultraportables, and like the Infinity Edge display, it raises the bar for what other PC makers should emulate.</p> <p>If you need a bit more screen space and power, there’s also a new <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Dell;elmt:;cpos:6;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=b1bb23c9-a2d4-4e4e-bfac-7a560ebe7641&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=99a7fb08-b4cb-3598-890c-6f6d878339b1&featureId=editorial-text-link&merchantName=Dell&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5kZWxsLmNvbS9lbi11cy9zaG9wL2RlbGwtbGFwdG9wcy9uZXcteHBzLTE0LWxhcHRvcC9zcGQveHBzLTE0LTk0NDAtbGFwdG9wL3VzZXhjaGN0bzk0NDBtdGwwMT9yZWY9dmFyaWFudHN0YWNrIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI5OWE3ZmIwOC1iNGNiLTM1OTgtODkwYy02ZjZkODc4MzM5YjEiLCJvcmlnaW5hbFVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmRlbGwuY29tL2VuLXVzL3Nob3AvZGVsbC1sYXB0b3BzL25ldy14cHMtMTQtbGFwdG9wL3NwZC94cHMtMTQtOTQ0MC1sYXB0b3AvdXNleGNoY3RvOTQ0MG10bDAxP3JlZj12YXJpYW50c3RhY2sifQ&signature=AQAAAafYNU6mOIm0Q6xJAG867CJ0nga3rKPKFb89O8jn-nF9&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dell.com%2Fen-us%2Fshop%2Fdell-laptops%2Fnew-xps-14-laptop%2Fspd%2Fxps-14-9440-laptop%2Fusexchcto9440mtl01%3Fref%3Dvariantstack&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fcomputing%2Flaptops%2Fbest-laptops-120008636.html" class="link rapid-noclick-resp rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:XPS 14;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Dell;elmt:;cpos:6;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2;itc:0">XPS 14</a> model this year, which can be equipped with NVIDIA’s RTX 40-series graphics.

aluminum chassis, a vibrant 120Hz OLED display, solid performance and tons of ports–all for hundreds less than an equivalent Razer Blade 14. It even has a built-in microSD card reader and presets for several color gamuts, so it can easily pull double duty as a photo/video editing machine. Its audio is also way above average thanks to punchy up-firing stereo speakers. Battery life is solid too, with the Zephyrus lasting just shy of eight hours on our rundown test. And to top it off, the G14 weighs almost half a pound less than rival laptops with similar designs.</p> <p>The main downsides are that its GPU caps out at an RTX 4070 (instead of a 4080 like on the previous model) and that its RAM is soldered in. But if you want a really great all-rounder that offers big power in a portable package, this system has to be at the top of your list.</p> <p>If you're set on having a larger screen, the <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:3" href="https://www.engadget.com/asus-rog-zephyrus-g16-2024-review-not-just-for-gamers-153001954.html" data-ylk="slk:ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16;cpos:3;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:3;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16</a> is available now as well.

Chrome OS aficionado Nathan Ingraham described as a tremendous value. This laptop nails the basics, with a 14-inch Full HD touchscreen, a great backlit keyboard and a 13th-gen Core i3 processor. The latest model has an upgraded 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which when paired with the Core i3 CPU, make for a speedy, capable machine. It’s also nice to see one USB-A and two USB-C ports, six hours of battery life and a 360-degree hinge that makes it easy to use the Flex 5 as a tablet. This could be the ideal laptop for Chrome OS fans, and it’ll hit the sweet spot for a lot of other buyers out there, providing a level of quality and performance that’s pretty rare to find at this price point.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row dark:bg-batcave clear-right mb-5"><div class="flex-1 border-solid border-dirty-seagull

they're entirely new beasts thanks to Apple's M4 chips. The $1,599 14-inch model is a far better deal than before too, since it now includes 16GB of RAM standard and it has three USB-C connections instead of just two. While the M4 chip is a decent step up from the M3, the M4 Pro wowed us with Geekbench and Cinebench scores that we've never seen before. The Pro model's multithreaded performance is practically the same as two competing Windows laptops put together! (We didn’t test the M4 Max, but it’s most likely another stunner.)</p> <p>Beyond the new chips, the MacBook Pros sport slightly brighter screens for SDR content (helpful for working in sunlight), as well as a big webcam upgrade to 12MP, instead of just 1080p. So, for the first time, the MacBook Pros can use Apple's Center Stage to keep you in frame during video chats, as well as Desk View.</p> <p>These MacBook Pros also deliver the same excellent keyboard and super smooth trackpad that we’ve loved over the last few years. They also have all the ports you need, including three USB-C, HDMI, 3.5mm jack and an SD card reader. The M4 Pro and M4 Max chips also bring along Thunderbolt 5 for faster connections to external accessories. As for battery life, both systems lasted over 30 hours in our video rundown test, and they could easily run for multiple workdays without a recharge.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg

review</strong></a></p> <p>After more than a decade of tests and trials for Arm-based Windows PCs, Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 7 feels like a breakthrough. It’s fast, it’s quiet and thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chip, it delivers well above average performance and battery life. Meanwhile, on the inside, Microsoft’s Prism emulator has almost completely smashed the barrier between Arm and x86, so aside from gaming, almost all of your favorite apps just work. Tack on a bright 120Hz display and excellent build quality and you get something really close to an ideal ultraportable PC. <em>— Sam Rutherford, Senior Reporter</em></p> </div><div class="flex

it’s been one of the best options for business users for a long time and continues to be. The Get 12 model runs on the newest Intel Core Ultra CPUs and includes an integrated NPU, a 14-inch matte touchscreen, a larger trackpad and a spill-proof keyboard. It performed well in our real-world testing, handling everything from dozens of Chrome tabs to light video editing without breaking a sweat. It didn’t score as well on some of our benchmark tests as other top picks like the HP Spectre x360, but that won’t be a dealbreaker for most people. Workers who spend hours typing away at emails and spreadsheets will appreciate the spacious 4.7-inch glass trackpad and Lenovo’s signature, comfortable keyboard that’s also nicely backlit. On top of that, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 lasted up to 13 hours in our battery tests, which should be more than enough to carry you through even your longest days. <em>— Valentina Palladino, Deputy Editor, Buying Advice</em></p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row dark:bg-batcave clear-right mb-5"><div class="flex-1 border-solid border-dirty-seagull dark:border-charcoal border-b @xl/p:border-b-0 @xl/p:border-r-2 mb-6 mr-0 pb-6 pr-0 @xl/p:mb-0 @xl/p:mr-4 @xl/p:pb-0 @xl/p:pr-4"><span class="space-x-2 text-lg/6 font-bold uppercase"><svg class="fill-ninja-turtle dark:fill-mulah scale-[0.92] inline -translate-y-0.5" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M12 1c6.075 0 11 4.925 11 11s-4.925 11-11 11S1 18.075 1 12 5.925 1 12 1Zm4.201 7.305-6.186 6.172-2.223-2.216a1.047 1.047 0 0 0-1.481 0 1.042 1.042 0 0 0 0 1.477l2.963 2.956a1.05 1.05 0 0 0 1.482 0l6.926-6.911a1.044 1.044 0 0 0 0-1.478 1.049 1.049 0 0 0-1.481 0Z"></path></svg><span>Pros</span></span><ul class="mt-2 pl-6 leading-relaxed @xl/p:text-lg/[30px]"><li class="list-disc">Lightweight, durable design</li><li class="list-disc">Excellent battery life</li><li class="list-disc">Comfortable keyboard and trackpad</li></ul></div><div class="flex-1"><span class="space-x-2 text-lg/6 font-bold uppercase"><svg class="fill-solo-cup dark:fill-watermelon scale-[0.92] inline -translate-y-0.5" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M12 1c6.075 0 11 4.925 11 11s-4.925 11-11 11S1 18.075 1 12 5.925 1 12 1ZM7.415 7.188l-.098.087a1.053 1.053 0 0 0 0 1.483l3.2 3.211-3.244 3.246a1.045 1.045 0 0 0 1.476 1.478l3.24-3.243 3.231 3.242a1.04 1.04 0 0 0 1.476 0 1.051 1.051 0 0 0 0-1.483l-3.228-3.24 3.184-3.187c.376-.377.405-.969.087-1.379l-.087-.098a1.043 1.043 0 0 0-1.476 0l-3.181 3.184-3.202-3.214a1.04 1.04 0 0 0-1.378-.087Z"></path></svg><span>Cons</span></span><ul class="mt-2 pl-6 leading-relaxed @xl/p:text-lg/[30px]"><li class="list-disc">Performance is a mixed bag</li><li class="list-disc">Power button placed on the side of the laptop</li></ul></div></div><a data-ylk="aid:amazon_B0D5SNKGZ4;cpos:9;itmId:$2,190;ll3:product-unavailable;ll4:productoffer-manual;pid:amazon_B0D5SNKGZ4;pdid:Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;itemcost:$2,190;sellerN:Amazon;pos:4;sec:large-product;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;pkgt:horizontal-cta-1;slk:$2,190 at Amazon;" class="rapid-with-clickid peer clear-right box-border block w-full min-w-60 rounded-[40px] px-7 text-center hover:no-underline hover:opacity-100 active:opacity-60 @xl/p:w-9/12 commerce-cta-btn-primary bg-inkwell py-3 font-semibold leading-5 text-white hover:bg-charcoal hover:text-grey-hair active:bg-charcoal active:text-grey-hair peer-[&]:mt-3 dark:bg-white dark:text-batcave dark:hover:bg-bob dark:focus:bg-bob dark:active:bg-bob" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=pnr-product-module&contentUuid=99a7fb08-b4cb-3598-890c-6f6d878339b1&featureId=product-url&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwRDVTTktHWjQ_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiOTlhN2ZiMDgtYjRjYi0zNTk4LTg5MGMtNmY2ZDg3ODMzOWIxIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwRDVTTktHWjQiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoicG5yLXByb2R1Y3QtbW9kdWxlIiwiZmVhdHVyZUlkIjoicHJvZHVjdC11cmwifQ&signature=AQAAASxfN3fmlGPfRUK8lpxJQDyxKmxbz6dRSbDC9L-Vv_o1&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0D5SNKGZ4&itemName=Lenovo+ThinkPad+X1+Carbon+Gen+12&salePrice=2189.99&price=2189.99&itemSourceId=B0D5SNKGZ4&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fcomputing%2Flaptops%2Fbest-laptops-120008636.html" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">$2,190 at Amazon</a></div></div></div></div></div><p><a href="#table-of-contents" data-jump-link data-ylk="slk:Back to top;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Back to top</a></p><div></div><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=how-we-test-laptops>How we test laptops</h2><p>Engadget has been <a data-i13n="cpos:11;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/engadget-20/" data-ylk="slk:reviewing laptops for two decades;cpos:11;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">reviewing laptops for two decades</a>, and while the definition of what a portable PC is has changed considerably since, our obsession with <a data-i13n="cpos:12;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/how-we-test-laptops-203909669.html" data-ylk="slk:testing;cpos:12;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">testing</a> their limits and serving up informative buying advice remains the same.

If you're looking for more of a workhorse, that could cost you well over $2,000 for additional RAM, storage, as well as a beefier graphics card and CPU. But you can also find some affordable laptops under $1,000 if you're willing to overlook build quality (or buy a refurbished or previous generation machine, which we highly recommend). Systems with AMD chips tend to come in cheaper than their Intel counterparts, but the bulk of their cost will come down to other components like RAM and storage.</p><p>I’ve included our favorite affordable model in this best laptop buying guide, but we have a list of <a data-i13n="cpos:14;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-budget-laptop-150038435.html" data-ylk="slk:the best budget laptops;cpos:14;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">the best budget laptops</a> that you can check out as well.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=operating-system-apple-windows-or-chrome-os>Operating system: Apple, Windows or Chrome OS</h3><p>There's a good chance you've already committed to an operating system, but my advice is to be as flexible as possible.

As for cellular coverage, there <em>are</em> notebooks like the <a data-i13n="cpos:23;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/surface-pro-9-5g-review-sq3-arm-173012304.html" data-ylk="slk:Surface Pro 9;cpos:23;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Surface Pro 9</a> and <a data-i13n="cpos:24;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-book-3-ultra-180044021.html" data-ylk="slk:Samsung Galaxy Book;cpos:24;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Samsung Galaxy Book</a> models that offer integrated 5G. But from our testing, that feature may not be worth the cost of a separate data plan. Instead, you could tether to your smartphone or invest in a wireless hotspot that can keep multiple devices online.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=laptop-size-and-weight>Laptop size and weight</h3><p>So how portable do you want your laptop to be? That's the ultimate question you need to ask when choosing between various screen sizes. 13-inch machines have become a solid starting point for most shoppers — it's enough real estate for the majority of tasks like emailing and writing, and it also helps keep machines relatively light (typically between two to three pounds). Thanks to manufacturing advancements, these dainty machines sometimes even come with larger screens (the smaller MacBook Air actually has a 13.6-inch display).</p><p>If you have trouble seeing fine text, we’d recommend going for a display larger than 13 inches. ASUS’s Zephyrus G14 is a solid 14-inch option for gamers, and we’re also seeing more productivity-focused machines aim for that size, like the XPS 14 and MacBook Pro. While 14-inch notebooks are a bit heavier than 13-inch models, coming in between three to four pounds, their screens are noticeably roomier.</p><p>For artists, or anyone else who needs a large canvas, a 15-inch laptop may make the most sense. They typically weigh between 3.5 and 4.5 pounds, but that extra heft may be worth it to fit wider video editing timelines or Photoshop windows. And, as you'd expect, you'll also pay a bit more for a 15-inch notebook compared to smaller ones (the 15-inch MacBook Air starts at $1,299, while the smaller model goes for $999). PC makers are also replacing 15-inch systems with 16-inch versions, which will give you even more space to work.</p><p>You can still find laptops with 17-inch or 18-inch screens, but those are typically <a data-i13n="cpos:25;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-gaming-laptops-172033838.html" data-ylk="slk:gaming systems;cpos:25;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">gaming systems</a> or souped-up workstations. They're not meant for mere computing mortals.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=battery-life><strong>Battery life</strong></h3><p>A laptop's battery life depends on several factors: The power draw from the screen and other hardware, the optimizations used to avoid unnecessary power drain, and, of course, the size of the actual battery. One of our favorite systems, the Dell XPS 13, lasted 13 hours and 15 minutes in the PCMark 10 battery benchmark. In real-world testing, I was able to use it for a day and a half without needing a recharge. The MacBook Air 13-inch, meanwhile, lasted 20 hours in our benchmark and kept running for more than two work days of my typical workflow. In general, you should expect a modern laptop to last at least eight hours.</p><p>If battery life is your absolute priority, I'd strongly suggest looking at Macs over Windows PCs. Apple's M-series chips are essentially mobile hardware, with all of the power efficiency you'd expect from something originally designed for phones. Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon chips could help Windows PCs compete with Apple’s astonishing battery life, but we’ve yet to see those in action. Chromebooks also typically get decent battery life (as long as you don’t overstuff them with power-draining tabs).</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=refresh-rate><strong>Refresh rate</strong></h3><p>A laptop's refresh rate refers to the amount of times its screen is cycled every second. Modern displays like IPS LCDs and OLEDs support 60Hz refresh rates at a minimum, but we're seeing more devices offering 120Hz, 240Hz and beyond. The higher the number, the faster the screen is refreshed, which ultimately leads to a smoother experience while mousing around or scrolling through web pages. (If you want to get a sense of what a slow refresh rate looks like, just grab an e-reader like the Kindle and try to flip between book pages.)</p><p>While high refresh rates used to be reserved for gaming laptops, nowadays we're seeing more mainstream machines like the XPS 13 offer 120Hz (or variable rates that move between 60Hz and 120Hz). If there's one knock against the MacBook Air, it's that it's still stuck at 60Hz.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=cpu>CPU</h3><p>If you’re buying a new laptop, you’ll want to make sure it’s powered by the latest CPUs. For Windows PCs, that includes Intel’s Core Ultra chips for thin-and-light machines or the 14th-gen HX chips for beefier systems. The Core Ultra series have NPUs for handling AI tasks, while the HX hardware does not – they’re based on Intel’s previous chip architecture, and they’re more focused on delivering raw horsepower. Intel's older 13th-gen and 12th-gen laptop chips also don't have NPUs, so keep that in mind if you're looking at used systems.</p><p>You'll also see AMD's Ryzen 8000 and 9000 chips in plenty of new systems like the ASUS Zephyrus G14 and Razer Blade 14. Those CPUs mainly target gaming laptops and high performance systems, while you'll still find AMD’s older Ryzen 7000 chips in ultraportables. AMD's main advantage is that its chips also include Radeon graphics, which are far more capable than Intel's Arc hardware (though those are getting better).</p><p>Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus are also an option in Copilot+ PCs (more on those below). Since they’re based on mobile chip designs, they’re likely also more power efficient than AMD and Intel’s hardware. In the past, we’ve avoided recommending Snapdragon chips because they led to a slow and frustrating Windows experience. But Microsoft claims it’s <a data-i13n="cpos:26;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-rebuilt-windows-11-around-ai-and-arm-chips-173152776.html" data-ylk="slk:rebuilt Windows 11 around Snapdragon’s Arm-based architecture;cpos:26;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">rebuilt Windows 11 around Snapdragon’s Arm-based architecture</a>, which should lead to far faster performance and better app compatibility.</p><p>As for Apple's laptops, you'll be choosing between the M3, M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max, each of which is progressively more powerful. Apple is also keeping its older M2 chip around for the MacBook Air, which is still a solid performer for the price.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=gpu>GPU</h3><p>A GPU, or graphics processing unit, is the component that communicates directly with a laptop's display. Laptop CPUs all have some form of integrated GPU: Intel has either its standard graphics or beefier Arc hardware, while AMD's chips include fast Radeon mobile graphics. If you want to play demanding games at high speeds (measured in frames per second, or fps), or if you need some extra power for rendering video or 3D models, you can configure a laptop with a dedicated GPU like NVIDIA's RTX 40-series hardware or AMD's Radeon RX 7000. Just be sure to leave room in your budget if you want a powerful GPU, as they typically add $300 or more to the cost of a laptop.</p><p>Apple's M-series chips, meanwhile, have GPU cores that can perform as well as NVIDIA’s and AMD's lower-end dedicated GPUs. That's quite the accomplishment for systems like this (especially the MacBook Air and 14-inch MacBook Pro), and it's another reason we highly recommend Apple's notebooks.</p><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=ai-pcs-npus-and-copilot><strong>AI PCs, NPUs and Copilot+</strong></h2><p>Simply put, an AI PC is a computer equipped with a neural processing unit (NPU), which is designed to handle AI-related tasks. Much like how GPUs tackle heavy-duty gaming and rendering workloads, NPUs are designed to handle the complex math necessary for AI workloads. They’re also far more power efficient than CPUs or GPUs, which could lead to better battery performance in laptops. While many factors go into NPU performance, for the most part we measure their potential speed by TOPS (tera operations per second).</p><p>We were primed for AI PCs based on the chips Intel and <a data-i13n="cpos:27;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/computing/amd-explains-its-ai-pc-strategy-123004804.html" data-ylk="slk:AMD announced;cpos:27;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">AMD announced</a> in 2023.

An ultraportable like the MacBook Air that sips power can last around 20 hours in our battery benchmark, and around two full work days of real-world usage. But a gaming laptop may last only a few hours if you’re actively playing something while on battery. At this point, Macs are delivering far better battery life than PCs, thanks to Apple’s Silicon chips, but Microsoft claims Copilot+ systems with Qualcomm chips will also get over 20 hours of batter life.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=how-much-ram-do-i-really-need>How much RAM do I really need?</h3><p>The more RAM you have, the more things your computer can do simultaneously. For that reason, we recommend buying PCs and Macs with at least 16GB of RAM. That gives you enough memory to have several applications open at once, as well as web browsers filled with RAM-hogging tabs. Many PC games also require at least 16GB of RAM. While you <em>could</em> use a system with 8GB of RAM for basic tasks, you’ll quickly run into slowdowns and error messages as your apps stack up. Many laptops, especially ultraportables, don’t let you upgrade RAM, too – so you’ll have to buy an entirely new computer if you didn’t equip enough memory at the start.</p><p>If you’re a hardcore gamer, programmer or planning to render videos or 3D models, then you may want to go for 32GB of RAM or more. And if you just need a secondary laptop for lighter work – perhaps a no-frills system for writing – then you can probably get by with 8GB. Just be sure to keep those browser tabs in check.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=what-is-the-best-storage-capacity-for-a-laptop>What is the best storage capacity for a laptop?</h3><p>There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to laptop storage. You’ll typically find configurations between 256GB and 1TB <a data-i13n="cpos:48;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-ssds-140014262.html" data-ylk="slk:SSDs;cpos:48;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">SSDs</a> (solid state drives) on most laptops, and I’d recommend most people get at least 512GB. That’ll be enough space for large apps, music and video files without stressing your system too much. If you’re a media hoarder, or want to play a ton of games, then it’s definitely worth getting a 1TB SSD.</p><p>If you’ll mainly be streaming your shows and music, and would rather invest in RAM or other hardware, then 256GB of storage would be serviceable. I’d recommend staying away from any machine with 128GB of storage though. Most of that will be taken up by the operating system, and you’ll likely run into issues cramming in large apps after a few months.</p><p>We recommend springing for extra built-in storage or investing in a portable SSD for backing up your most important files. It's also worth noting that Chromebooks tend to come with less built-in storage — 32GB, 64GB or 128GB — since ChromeOS encourages users to save their files in the cloud rather than on the device. In that case, 128GB is plenty.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=whats-a-good-price-range-for-a-decent-laptop-in-2025>What's a good price range for a decent laptop in 2025?</h3><p>You can expect to spend between $1,000 and $1,800 for a typical 13-inch laptop today. As I explained above, you'll pay more if you want to stuff in more RAM or better GPU hardware. But you can also find deals below $1,000 if you look for refurbished or older-generation models.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=whats-the-difference-between-macos-and-windows-which-is-better>What’s the difference between macOS and Windows? Which is better?</h3><p>Simply put, macOS is the operating system in all of Apple's notebooks and desktops, while Windows powers the vast majority of PCs. You'll also find Chromebooks running Google's ChromeOS, but those are basically just web browsers running on top of Linux.</p><p>Debating the differences between Windows and Macs is something PC nerds have been doing since the '80s, so we won't be declaring a winner here. There are some small, negligible distinctions, like using a Command versus a Control key, how file explorers work and concerns about viruses and security. For the most part, those are minor issues or have become moot thanks to better built-in security.</p><p>But if you care more about playing the newest games, you'll want to have a Windows system. If you're more focused on creative apps, like Photoshop, Premiere and Final Cut Pro, then macOS may be a better fit (especially if you're running an iPhone).</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=what-are-the-best-laptop-brands>What are the best laptop brands?</h3><p>There is no single "best" laptop brand, but judging from this guide alone, we're generally impressed by notebooks from Apple, Dell and ASUS.
