whether you’re shopping for a sub-$200 laptop, a lightweight laptop for work and play, a 2-in-1 or a powerful gaming rig, the sheer number of choices can be overwhelming. To help you choose, we’ve picked out the best laptops in every major category, based on our extensive testing, research and comparisons.

Looking for something a bit more specific? We’ve got guides for gaming, college and business laptops as well as Chromebooks and 2-in-1s. Shopping on a budget? Check out our laptops for under $500 as well as our sub-$1000 gaming laptops like the $799 MSI GF63 8RB notebook we recently reviewed. And if you’re looking to save a few dollars, check out our roundup of the best-refurbished deals.

If you’re shopping for a big-screen laptop, the LG Gram 17 is very impressive, as it’s the lightest 17-inch laptop ever at under 3 pounds. Looking for unmitigated power? Then you need to check out our exclusive review of the Alienware Area-51m, it’s unlike anything Alienware’s ever done before. Other laptops on the way include the Lenovo X1 Yoga (the first aluminum ThinkPad) and Asus’ wild ROG Mothership gaming PC.

 Dell XPS 13 (2019)

The new Dell XPS 13 is a gorgeous thin and light laptop with great performance.
The best just got even better. Not only did Dell outfit the 2019 XPS 13 with a new Intel Whiskey Lake processor, but it also fixed one of the most annoying flaws of its predecessor. No longer does its webcam point up your nose, as Dell’s engineers found a way to fit its webcam in a still-small top bezel. While the 4K model we tested offered lower battery life than some may need, we expect longer endurance on the model with a 1080p display.

HP Chromebook x2

If you want a Chromebook that’s also a tablet, the HP Chromebook x2 is a fantastic option.
The HP Chromebook x2’s bright, colorful display and lengthy battery life will make you take Chrome OS seriously. You also get a comfortable typing experience, surprisingly powerful audio and solid performance thanks to its Intel Core m3-7Y30 GPU. Throw in a quick, accurate pen and the ability to convert the system from a laptop to a tablet and you’ve got an ultraportable jack-of-all-trades machine that offers versatility and style.
