Other good laptops to consider
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i will have Edition (Copilot + PC) for $ 1,300:: The first Copilot + PC based on Intel (7/10, wired review) We tested is a winner on all fronts, with exceptional AI and graphics performance and some of the best battery that we have ever seen on Intel Hardware. With its slightly bizarre screen of 15.3 inches, it strikes its high points without breaking the bank, although the fan is strong and the system can increase you more than you want.
Asus Zenbook A14 for $ 1,100:: It is one of the lightest laptops that we have ever tested, thanks to the Asus Ceratunum material. The Zenbook A14 (8/10, recommend wire) is also the first laptop in the company A series A, and it uses the new Snapdragon X chipset from Qualcomm, which is the weakest and supposed most affordable in the Snapdragon X series. Although this computer Excellent in construction quality, portability and excellent battery life, the chipset is dull, suitable only to average web navigation tasks, and it is always a little too high for what you get.
Asus VivoBook S 14 OLED for $ 900:: Unlike the Zenbook 14 OLED, this 14 -inch machine has an OLED panel for a price of less than $ $. The VivoBook S 14 (8/10, recommend wire) is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 1 chipset with 16 GB of RAM and an SSD at 1 TB. It can manage most daily tasks without problem, although the screen can remain brighter. The battery life is correct, reaching up to 12 hours with average use. Unfortunately, the machine is a fingerprint magnet, so you constantly wipe it. He has a lot of ports.
Dell XPS 14 And XPS 16 for $ 1,500:: The two 2024 XPS XPS laptops (7/10, wired recommends) are intended for Windows users with the jealousy of MacBook. The design, specifications and sizes align perfectly with Apple’s offers. The XPS 14 and 16 both have a beautiful and elegant design, wonderfully shiny and pointed Oled screens (with 120 Hz screen refreshment rate), and are very fast for daily tasks. Unfortunately, with regard to more intensive tasks such as video edition, the benchmarks of the MacBook perform circles around XPS 14. The largest XPS 16, which uses the more powerful RTX 4070 graphics card, was much better behaved But costs more than a macbook just as powerful. The XPS 14 and 16 are both beautiful well -designed machines. They are very capable for most use cases, although heavy players and video editors will want to look elsewhere. They are expensive for what you get, but if you don’t mind paying a bonus for the quality of first class construction with a clean and catchy design, XPS 14 and 16 are solid laptops.
Acer Chromebook plus 515 for $ 399:: It is a Chromebook model plus 15 inch (8/10, recommend wire) With the same internal components as the Lenovo, we recommend above. The battery life for it is a solid 8.5 hours of full screen video reading time. The ACER offers an HDMI 1.4 output taking instead of the Lenovo microSD card location, which makes it a better choice if you often need to make presentations or use the HDMI port differently . There is also the smallest Chromebook plus 514 ($ 380) It’s just as great.
Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra for $ 3,000:: There is a lot to love here (7/10, wired review), but this price. Ouch. You get what you pay at least, with the new Intel Core Ultra 9 6 p.m. Intel Core processor, the current high -end processor in the Intel Core Ultra CPU range, as well as a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card. 16 -inch 2,880 x 1,800 pixel amoled is magnificent for working and the performance has exploded everything we tested out of the water. But this price.
Acer Swift Go 14 for $ 1,000: This is very similar to the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED, our highest budget laptop. We found that the Asus was a little faster and had a much more pleasant quality of construction, but The Swift Go still offers exceptional performance, especially given the price (7/10, wired review). It also has an impressive 15 -hour battery autonomy. The downside is the speakers, which are not great, and overall, the body feels a little plasticky. But it is the Intel Core Ultra the cheapest laptop that we tested in a few dollars, so if the budget is tight, the Swift Go deserves to be considered.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Copilot + PC for $ 1,200:: Svelte Slim 7x by Lenovo (7/10, wired review) is not exciting, but it offers the best price / performance ratio of the many Copilot + PC that we have tested. The lifespan and battery performance manifests itself, although the fan tends to run hard.
Microsoft Laptop Surface (7th edition, 2024) for $ 1,600:: Do you want a Windows laptop directly from the horse’s mouth? Buy the 7th edition surface laptop (7/10, wired review). The performance is solid, as is the battery life, and you get a smooth 120 Hz screen. It is far too expensive for what you get. Read our Best surface laptop computers guide For more.
