Ah, laptops. Just like a regular computer, but you can place it atop your lap. Truly the grandest innovation the computing industry has ever seen. We jest, of course - we love laptops, whether they’re super slim and sleek ultrabooks or powerful gaming laptops.
What makes a laptop the best laptop, though? It’s a question we’ve been seeking the answer to for years - along with half of the tech industry, in fact. Apple thinks it has portable perfection in its MacBooks, while some prefer the laid-back simplicity of the best Chromebooks instead.
Whatever your choice of laptop, you’ll find below every single article we’ve written about our favorite (and least favorite) portable PCs. Struggling to choose a new laptop? We’ve got you covered.
