If you’re on the lookout for a new laptop, look no further. Our top picks cover laptops for every type of user from gamers to budget buyers. We’ve scoured the market for brand-new laptops and winnowed down our list to these five options, taking care to account for battery life, power, performance, and other important specs.
Dell XPS 13
This beauty by Dell goes a lot further than you would expect. It’s available with Intel’s 11th-GEN Core processor and delivers a power-packed performance for both CPU and graphics-intensive tasks. The display on this model is a lot larger than those on previous versions which is a pleasant surprise, given how lightweight and small the chassis is. The lack of bezels makes this laptop almost borderless, which results in a sleek, polished appearance.
HP Spectre x360 13
This model which dropped at the end of last year is a premium two-in-one that runs on a 10th-gen Intel CPU. HP has pulled out the stops with this laptop, throwing in exciting features like an instant mic mute button, advanced privacy settings, and enhanced security features. The IR camera and fingerprint reader and easy switch that allows you to disable the webcam makes this the perfect laptop for working on sensitive data.
Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch)
Apple loyalists will love this laptop since it perfectly marries stellar hardware with MacOS. A great battery life that far surpasses laptops on the Windows system, fantastic performance on a range of tasks, scissor-style switches under the keycaps on the keyboard, and a high-resolution display makes this an excellent choice and well worth the high price point.
MacBook Air
If you would like a macOS laptop for everyday use, then we have good news. The MacBook Air is affordable, lightweight, and has a stunning display and a powerful battery. Thanks to the 2020 updates that include new processors and a new keyboard, it delivers on performance too.
LG Gram 17
The 17-inch display, a 10th- Gen Intel Core i7 processor, Iris Plus integrated graphics, and superior photo and video editing features make this a perfect choice for gamers. Another bonus – the battery powers on for 13 long hours of continuous streaming.
