MacBook Air

The MacBook Air with Apple's M1 processor is the best laptop for most people because it has all the features the average person needs at a reasonable price. Apple's entry-level laptop is faster than most Windows laptops at this price point, and it handles demanding photo and video editing apps likePhotoshop and Adobe Premiere with care, especially compared to its Intel-powered predecessors. All that power doesn't affect battery life. We played Shadow of the Tomb Raider and it lasted between eight and 10 hours.

The laptop has many nice features, including a comfortable keyboard and an excellent trackpad. If a high-resolutionWebcam is important to you, you may want to buy one separately. Due to the limitations of the M1 chip you can only use one display at a time.

We find the base MacBook Air with the M1 chip on sale for a little less than the full price, but it has 8 gigabytes of memory and a 128 gigabytes of storage. You can buy the base model for $899 from B&H Photo right now. You can get it for $829 if you live near a Micro Center. The 512GB model with an eight-core graphics card is on sale in rose gold at Amazon for $1,1799.99, which is about $70 off. At B&H Photo, you can buy the laptop in other colors. We recommend you to read our review.

MacBook Pro

At the moment, the MacBook Pro lineup consists of the newer 14- and 16-inch models, as well as the 13-inch MacBook Pro that just received a revision with the M2 processor. We won't see any significant discounts anytime soon.

The 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro is similar to the MacBook Air but has a Touch Bar. It is able to run at peak performance longer because of its fan. At Best Buy, you can buy the 13-inch MacBook Pro for $1,099, which is $200 off, if you choose the model with 8 gigabytes of memory and 512 gigabytes of storage. We reviewed the 13-inch MacBook Pro.

The MacBook Pro 13 has the same M1 processor as the Air but has a brighter screen, longer battery life, and a fan.

If you want to spend more money for faster performance, you can upgrade to an M1 Max processor from the new MacBook Pros. The laptops we have tested have some of the longest- lasting batteries we have ever tested. The model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is currently on sale at Best Buy for $1799. You can save $200 if you buy the 14-inch model with 16 gigabytes of memory and a 1 terabytes of storage from Amazon. You can get the 16-inch for the same price as the other two, if you prefer it. We reviewed the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro can be configured to have up to 64GB of unified memory and can be equipped with either the M1 Pro or M1 Max processor.

The new MacBook Pro has Apple's latest technology. Configurable with either the M1 Pro or M1 Max, the 16-inch screen can be used to display up to three external displays and a 4K TV at the same time.

HP Spectre x360 14

Are you looking for a 2-in-1? It's the best you can get. Our favorite Windows laptop is this one. The convertible has a beautiful 3:2 aspect ratio display, a comfortable keyboard, and a smooth touchpad. It is also powerful and has speakers that sound great. If you flip the screen around, you can use the built-in stylus to write on it.

There are some issues to be aware of, even though we found more to praise than complain about. The laptop has some pre-installed bloatware. The convertible doesn't come cheap. The HP Spectre x360 14 with 8 gigabytes of onboard memory and 512 gigabytes of storage is being sold by HP for $10499.99. This model is powered by the Intel Core i7-1195G7 processor, which is a last-gen chip. We recommend you to read our review.

It is the best 2-in-1 laptop of the year.

Lenovo Yoga 9i

The Yoga 9i is our favorite laptop. The speakers on the convertible are the best we have ever heard for a laptop this large. A built-in stylus and a battery life that will last all day are some of the perks that come with it. It comes with a lot of bloatware that can be difficult to uninstall, and we found the screen to be small and dim.

Various configurations of the laptop are being discounted by up to $490 at the moment. When you use the code YOGACTODEAL, you can buy the model with 8 gigabytes of RAM, 512 gigabytes of storage, and an Intel Core i5 processor for $1,1099.99 from Lenovo. We recommend you to read our review.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G15

We think the best gaming laptop on the market is the ROG Zephyrus G15. It's powerful enough to handle demanding games like Red Dead Redemption II, yet it's also one of the lightest gaming laptops, so you can carry it around wherever you please. It has a great port selection, good battery life, and a comfortable keyboard and touchpad. It doesn't have aWebcam.

If you buy it from Best Buy, you'll get 16GB of RAM, 1 terabytes of storage, and an AMD Ryzen 9 processor for less than the normal price.

The Zephyrus G15 is one of the best gaming laptops that you can buy right now. It is difficult to beat the performance despite not having aWebcam.

Acer Swift 3

The Swift 3 is a budget friendly laptop for college students. The portable laptop has good performance, a sturdy build, and good battery life. The 14-inch screen is large enough to be used for research and writing a paper. It has a backlit keyboard that you can use at night, and it comes with the ports you need. If you need to do more artistic work or video editing, it might be a problem if the display isn't bright. Normally $899.99, you can get the Swift 3 with an Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and Intel Iris Xe graphics from Acer. We recommend you to read our review.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano

The lightest version of the ThinkPad is the X1 Nano, and it still has great performance in a light package. It is ideal for business travel due to its exceptional build quality and security features. We liked the 16:10 display and the physical privacy shutter, but we wish there were more ports and the battery life was not as good. If you use the code THINKJUNE, you can buy the model with 8 gigabytes of memory, 512 megabytes of storage, and an Intel Core i5 processor for $2,479. We recommend you to read our review.

HP Envy x360 13

HP's Envy x360 13 convertible is the best budget laptop for under $1,000. It has a slick design with a bright screen. The battery lasts all day and the performance is good enough that it can even play some light gaming. It comes with a 16:9 aspect ratio screen as well as pre-installed bloatware. The laptop doesn't have a Thunderbolt 3 or HDMI port, but it does have a MicroSD card slot. It's still a great laptop.

HP Pavilion Aero 13

Do you need a budget-friendly laptop? The Pavilion Aero 13 is a great choice. It is lighter, thinner, and more portable than HP's Envy x360 13 and still has good performance. It has a more vertically-spacious 16:10 screen that is bright for a laptop in this price range. It has a better battery life than HP's Envy x360 13, but it does come with a lot of bloatware, and its speakers aren't very good. You can buy a laptop with 16 gigabytes of RAM and 512 gigabytes of storage for less than the price of a similar one from HP. The model we tested was more powerful than the one this model comes with. We recommend you to read our review.
