The Good Laptop combines performance, portability, and price to create the system of your dreams. Whether it’s a massive workstation or a sleek, ultra-thin gaming notebook. Laptops are compact enough to carry around yet versatile enough to run demanding applications. Notebooks are the best tool for serious work or play, whether you are at home, on the road, or in a classroom. Below we mentioned the best laptops.
Here is the List of the Best Laptops
MacBook Pro 13-inch
The latest MacBook Air with Apple’s M2 processor is the best notebook for most people. The base model with 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, an 8-core CPU, and an 8-core GPU starts at $1,199. A model with 512 GB of storage, which we recommend for most users and allows you to use the notebook longer, costs $1,399. The Air has lost its wedge-shaped design that was its flagship for years, but retains many of the other great features of years past, including MagSafe charging, Touch ID, and the scissor keyboard, and adds a latest 1080p webcam and two new color options. The M2 processor inside is not as fast or heavy as the M1 Pro or M1 Max in the larger (and more expensive) MacBook Pro models, but it’s still very fast. In our tests, it handled intensive office work with little to no heat generation or slowdown. Given that this device is so thin and light, it offers a combination of performance and portability that you’ll be hard pressed to find in many other devices on the market.
MacBook Pro 16-inch
The Apple MacBook Pro (16 inches) is a much-improved version of its predecessor that, equipped with Apple’s latest technology, sets a new benchmark for MacBook performance. Its beautiful new Liquid Retina XDR display makes everything you do on it enjoyable, while the 1080p webcam on top helps you look your best during video calls with friends and colleagues. The ubiquitous trackpad (still the best on the market) and an excellent scissor-switch keyboard now come in a matte black tray. Unfortunately, there is still no sign of a flat black MacBook Pro. On either side of the keyboard are also powerful speakers.
Apple MacBook Air (M2)
The latest MacBook Air with Apple’s M2 processor is the best notebook for most people. The base model with 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, an 8-core CPU, and an 8-core GPU starts at $1,199. A model with 512 GB of storage, which we recommend for most users and allows you to use the notebook longer, costs $1,399. The Air has lost its wedge-shaped design that was its flagship for years but retains many of the other great features of years past, including Touch ID, MagSafe charging, and the scissor keyboard, and adds a new 1080p webcam and two new color options. The M2 processor inside is not as fast or powerful as the M1 Pro or M1 Max in the larger (and more expensive) MacBook Pro models, but it’s still very fast. In our tests, it was able to handle intensive office work with little to no heat generation or slowdown. Given that this device is so thin and light, it offers a combination of performance and portability that you’ll be hard pressed to find in many other devices on the market.

Two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support, two USB-A 3.2 ports, a full-size HDMI port, a microSD card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Dell XPS 13 Plus
The super-thin case design is high-quality, the nearly bezel-less display is beautiful, and the battery life is long. It’s not a super-strong professional notebook, but the performance is snappy and the feature set is good enough to be productive at home or on the go. The combination of style and substance makes it an easy winner in this field. The latest XPS 13 model features a beautiful OLED panel that delivers rich image quality while streaming movies at home or editing video at work. Using Alexa on your PC is as simple as asking a question. Just ask, and Alexa can query your calendar, create lists, play music, answer questions, read the news, and more.
Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1
The Lenovo Yoga 9i is powered by Intel’s 12th generation processors, specifically the new P-series. These processors have a higher TDP of 28W and thus more power. Right now it’s available with a Core i7-1260P with 12 cores and 16 threads, but there will also be a configuration with a Core i7-1280P that offers 14 cores and 20 threads, as well as boost speeds of up to 4.8GHz. In both cases, you will not lack performance for all kinds of daily tasks. The base configuration is a Full HD+ (1920 x 1200) IPS panel, but there are two OLED upgrade options. One is a 2.8K (2880 x 1800) panel with a refresh rate of 90 Hz for smoother animations, and the other is an Ultra HD+ (3840 x 2400) display with a conventional refresh rate of 60 Hz. Furthermore, you can configure the notebook with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a 1 TB PCIe-4 SSD for storage, so the notebook can handle just about anything.
ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15
With the 12th generation Intel Core i9-12900H processor (6 P-cores and 8 E-cores) with 24 million cache and a clock speed of up to 5.0 GHz, you can play, stream and create on your notebook. The SCAR 15 sets new standards in cooling with Thermal Grizzly liquid metal, Arc Flow fans and 0dB Ambient Cooling. A MUX switch allows the GPU to communicate directly with the display, increasing performance and reducing latency. 3D AI Noise Cancelling microphone removes background noise for you and your teammates, while Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos ensure the best sound and picture quality.
HP Spectre x360 Luxury 14T
The HP Spectre 14T x360 delivers stunning images and unparalleled quality thanks to its 1920×1280 display that trumps even FHD performance. Its 3:2 aspect ratio allows users to do more, as the screen-to-body ratio is 90.33%. The HP Zenvo Tilt pen with magnetic attachment is HP’s best pen yet, offering “pen dot accuracy” with smoother color transitions and improved response times. Play video in vivid, crystal-clear detail with the high-resolution display. Scroll less on the larger-than-life display with a 3:2 aspect ratio that gives you more workspace. Adaptive Color automatically adjusts hues, light, and ultraviolet colors to ensure the best viewing experience for your environment. Smart Sense adapts to your work habits for optimal performance, and even detects when you should take a break.
ASUS ZenBook Duo 14
Finally, there is a notebook with two screens that we can really recommend buying. In the past, the dual-screen form factor has proven to be gimmicky, hard to see, and hard to use. But with the Zenbook Duo 14, Asus has angled the screen much higher than before, increased the resolution, and given it a non-glare etch that makes it really useful. With Asus’ ScreenXpert software, Zenbook Pro Duo users essentially have a small, sharp OLED second screen on the keyboard deck. This second screen can also be turned into a giant touchpad (which is helpful since the actual touchpad on the device is pretty tiny). The device is also equipped with powerful chips from Intel and Nvidia and a spacious 16:10 main screen. Although the layout with the keyboard on the front is not everyone’s cup of tea, this innovative device is the best choice for buyers who want to have multiple screens in one.
Asus Chromebook Flip CX5
Asus surprised us with its Chromebook Flip CX5, a beautiful $800 notebook that runs Chrome OS. It’s as sturdy and well-built as any Windows laptop in higher price ranges and has a unique smooth finish. It has full laptop specs, including a 57-Wh battery for fast performance, long battery life, and quick charging. You get a variety of ports, including an HDMI and a microSD slot. The speakers sound great, and the keyboard is comfortable. Asus hasn’t skimped on the CX5’s chassis or performance – it’s absolutely the right product for anyone looking for a Chromebook with a large screen.
