Dell 14 Plus for $ 1100: This is the first laptop in the main renal voltage, and this field is a follow -up to Dell Inspiron Plus 14. The Dell 14 Plus (6/10, wire reviewIt is an average medium laptop, which means it includes a clean but general design and solid performance, without some bells and biles that make laptops feel distinctive. The IPS screen is decent, as well as performance and battery life. The only real problem is that all available configurations come with 1 terabyte of storage, which is why there are no start of starting less than $ 1,000. Although it is new, I have already seen a significant decrease in the price, making it better value.

Microsoft Surface Pro 12 for $ 770While it is a tablet, Surface Pro 12 (6/10, wire reviewIt is designed to be a real laptop replacement as well, which is why in this list. Its price of $ 779 will be excellent for a fan without a fan that works on Snapdragon X chip, but it does not come with a keyboard. Once adds, this becomes more than a distinct laptop. However, for the right person, it is a deadly travel device to take your business with you.

Asus Rog Flow Z13 for $ 2100: It is very useful for most people to seize the opportunity, but I found a lot to like about Rog Flow Z13 (7/10, recommends wire). These 2 in 1 games, a design that no one asked, works amazingly well. Performance is not completely suffocating, but the use of the Z13 for the integrated AMD graphics that are surprising makes it much stronger than it may assume, all while keeping the heat away from your hands.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition (Copilot+ PC) for $ 1300: Intel (PC) first computer (PC) (PC)7/10, wire reviewWe have tested a winner on all fronts, and it is characterized by the performance of artificial intelligence, distinctive graphics and some of the best battery life that we have ever seen on Intel devices. Through the 15.3 -inch Oddbal screen, it reaches its high points without breaking the bank, although the fan loudly and the system may weigh more than you want.

Asus Zenbook A14 for $ 750: This is one of the lightest laptops that we tested ever, thanks to the ASUS ‘Ceraluminum. ZenBook A14 (8/10, recommends wireIt is also the first laptop from the company of the company, and it uses the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X slides, which are the weakest and most expensive in the Snapdragon X series. While this laptop excels in the quality of construction, the ability to transport, and an excellent battery life, the dull slides group, which is only suitable for medium web browsing tasks. It has decreased up to $ 750 during the sale events, so try to avoid $ 1,000 from MSRP.

Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (2024) for $ 1050: We were surprised by the pleasure of seeing more low -cost laptops that still include a degree of performance -focused performance. Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (7/10, wire review), The latest in the unimaginable laptop set in the company, is less than $ 1,000 and the new AMD Ryzen 7 CPU (Model 8840HS) is used.

Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED for $ 950: Unlike Zenbook 14 OLED, this 14-inch machine features an OLED panel at a sub-price of 1000 dollars.

He can handle most daily tasks without any problem, although the screen may be brighter. The battery life is fine, as it reaches 12 hours with average use. Unfortunately, the device is the fingerprint magnet, so it will constantly wipe it. It has a lot of ports.

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge for $ 1750: He listens. I do not say that you should buy Copilot+ PC. These are laptops with a new design from Microsoft, and the Chipsets Qualcomm Snapdragon, which has been seized for many new artificial intelligence features. If you decide that you need one, Samsung Galaxy Book 4 edge ((8/10, recommends wireHe is the king of the hill. Yes, it suffers from the same problems that affect most of the Copilot+ PC devices that operate Snapdragon-the performance of graphics related to graphics and compatibility issues-but they are largely overcome by many other power points of the device. For beginners, it contains some of the best overall performance of any laptop from Copilot+ PC that we have faced so far, and the 16 -inch larger screen allows you to score a digital technique without making the keyboard feel upset. In the tasks that AI drives such as the actual labels of Microsoft, Galaxy Book4 Edge could not have a quick dialogue in ways that we could not do. He also remained calm and calm while taking out the battery life for 14 and a half hours while playing YouTube videos on a full screen. It has set up a little competition, but you can save some cash by choosing a smaller 14 -inch form.

Dell XPS 14 for $ 1200 and XPS 16 for $ 1700: Dell XPS mobile devices for 2024 (7/10, recommends wireIt aims to Windows users with MacBook Gevery. Design, specifications and sizes are completely lined with Apple shows. XPS 14 and 16 contains a great, elegant and shining and sharp OLED design (with Screen update rates 120 Hz), It is very fast for daily tasks. Unfortunately, when it comes to more dense tasks such as video editing, MacBook standards work around XPS 14. XPS 16, which use the most powerful RTX 4070 graphics card, was much better but cost more than a strong MacBook device. XPS 14 and 16, both beautiful devices are well designed. They are able to use many cases, although heavy players and video editors will want to search elsewhere. It is expensive for what you get, but if you do not mind paying a premium for the quality of the first -class construction with a clean and attractive design, the XPS 14 and 16 are solid laptops.

Acer Chromebook Plus 515 for $ 399: This is the 15 -inch Chromebook Plus (8/10, recommends wire) With the same interior ingredients as Lenovo we recommend above. The battery life for this one is 8.5 hours from the time of the video on the full screen. Acer offers HDMI output 1.4 instead of Lenovo’s MicroSDO card, which makes this option better if you need to make presentations or use an HDMI port in another way. There is also smaller Chromebook Plus 514 ($ 380) This is just great.

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra for $ 3000: There is a lot of love here (7/10, wire review) But this price. Och. You can get what you pay, at least, through the new Intel Core Ultra 95H processor, which is the current current processor in the CPU Core Ultra Core collection, along with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card. Another thing we experienced outside the water. But this price.

Acer Swift Go 14 for $ 1,000This one is very similar to Asus Zenbook 14 OLED, the best budget laptop. We have found that ASUS is a little faster and we have a very more beautiful building quality, but Swift Go is still a great performance, especially given the price (7/10, wire review). It also features an amazing battery life for 15 hours. The downside is the speakers, which are not great, and in general, the body feels a little plastic. But this is the lower laptop of Intel Core Ultra mobile that we have experienced with a few dollars, so if the budget is narrow, then Swift Go is worth looking.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Copilot+ PC for $ 1200: Lenovo’s Selfe Slim 7X (7/10, wire review) It is not exciting, but it provides the best performance rate for many computers that we have experienced. The battery life and performance are among the most prominent, although the fan tends to run loudly.

Mobile computers to avoid

Amazon is filled with laptops that you should not buy. only Write “Best Laptop” in Amazon search A box, you will find a lot of cheap laptops that no one should buy. This includes most Windows laptops less than $ 500, all of which use central processing units of three or four generations.

The matter gets worse when searching for “Games for Games” on AmazonWhich offers some cheap laptops that do not even contain separate graphics. Regardless of what companies or retailers try to say, you should not expect a laptop without the separate graphics processing unit to be able to play modern games. Some of these things include laptops from KNOCKOFF brands that you have not heard before, Like this one. There is no reason to buy something from an unknown brand.

When it comes to games for games in general, I don’t recommend buying anything RTX 30-Series or larger in terms of graphics. You still have to find some RTX 40-Series, which are better than new RTX 50-Series.

Finally, there is the subject of the renovated laptops. Online retailers are full of old laptops that are distinguished as “renewed or renewable”. these He can Be good options, especially if they come dramatically, like this M1 MacBook Air. But there are always some risks by purchasing it has been renewed. Make sure to read retail policy. Through models that do not exceed one or two years only, it is accurately attention to the specifications, especially when it comes to the capacity of RAM. For example, some ancient Air MacBook models will appear with only 8 GB of RAM, do not reflect the increasing basic memory in the price.
