After reviewing 100 laptops for Digital Trends, several have stood out as particularly satisfying. Here are my five favorites that I've personally reviewed.
Both are excellent convertible 360-degree 2-in-1s. However, HP offers better battery life, the best display in a 13-inch laptop, and frankly, better looks.
The Envy 15 is HP's laptop aimed directly at creative professionals, and it enters the market against the excellent Dell XPS 15. Which is the better laptop?
The ThinkPad X13 Yoga is Lenovo's smallest laptop in the ThinkPad line. Last year, its predecessor looked more competitive, but the X13 is showing its age.
The Surface Book 2 suffered several design decisions that significantly reduced its usefulness as a desktop replacement. Did the Surface Book 3 fix them?
The Surface Pro 7 and Surface Book 3 are both excellent 2-in-1s with very different designs. It comes down to one question: Do you want a tablet or a laptop?
The HP Envy x360 13 is smaller, faster, and better built, making it a bonafide competitor to the spendier Spectre lineup. A premium 2-in-1 at a midrange price.
Does Huawei's MateBook Pro X have what it takes to compete with its rather obvious competition, the Apple MacBook Pro 13? Check out our head-to-head comparison.
Lenovo's IdeaPad Flex 5 14 is another in a line of budget laptops using AMD's latest Ryzen 4000 processors. We put it through its paces to see how it stacks up.
Microsoft introduced two new Surface Pro devices in 2019. Which model is better? We pit the Surface Pro X vs. the Surface Pro 7 to see which is a better buy.
The Surface Book 3 doubles down on Microsoft's performance objectives for the line, offering a fast CPU and discrete GPU that make it a strong 13-inch offering.
The Lenogo Yoga C640 comes in at a bargain price of just $600, yet offers good performance, excellent battery life, solid build quality, and a clean design.
