We test a wide variety of laptops each year here at The Verge<\/em>, and many of them are very good. But you can\u2019t buy them all. So to help with your purchasing decisions I\u2019ve done the very difficult (very <\/em>difficult, trust me) task here of selecting 15 of the most exceptional devices out there for this Best Laptop of 2023 page. Whether you\u2019re looking for a Chromebook, a gaming laptop, a 2-in-1 convertible, an ultralight notebook, or something that\u2019s a little bit of each, I\u2019ve got multiple options for you here. These aren\u2019t necessarily the best laptops of all time, but they are, in my opinion, the best laptops you can buy right now<\/em>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

My current pick for the best laptop of 2023 is the MacBook Air<\/a>. It\u2019s a device that does just about everything right. While it\u2019s certainly not perfect, there are no major flaws. It\u2019s a great pick for productivity, browsing, and even light gaming. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s getting harder to buy a bad laptop, but what separates the best laptops from good laptops is how they balance power, efficiency, portability, and comfort. The top laptop should have a fantastic keyboard and trackpad \u2014 after all, those are the two biggest reasons you’d choose a laptop over a smartphone or tablet. Its display should be easy on the eyes, bright, and sharp enough that you aren’t distracted by jagged edges and visible pixels. It should be powerful enough for most anything short of intensive video editing and advanced gaming. It should be easy to carry around from place to place, and it should be able to last all day without needing to be plugged in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Our other picks for the best laptops, Chromebooks, and 2-in-1s include the the MacBook Pro 16<\/a> and the HP Spectre x360 14<\/a>. Check out the full list of best laptop picks below or our roundup of the best gaming laptops<\/a>, if you\u2019re looking for a powerful machine that doesn\u2019t sacrifice portability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What we\u2019re looking for<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
\n
    \n
  1. Value: <\/strong>Price is a very important factor in evaluating devices for this page. We\u2019re seeking laptops that offer great value for their asking price, and that are the best of the best compared to other laptops in their price category.<\/em> The more expensive a device, the more exceptional it has to be to make it on here.<\/li>\n
  2. Performance<\/strong>: We want laptops with enough power to accommodate their target audience. An ultraportable laptop should be able to handle a standard office workload without excessive heat or fan noise. A gaming laptop should run today\u2019s popular games. <\/li>\n
  3. Screen<\/strong>: We like displays that are color-accurate and bright.<\/li>\n
  4. Design<\/strong>: We\u2019re looking for laptops with a solid, durable build that can handle a standard amount of briefcase wear-and-tear. <\/li>\n
  5. Battery life<\/strong>: Battery life is much more important in some categories than it is in others. That said<\/em>, in general, we assume that most shoppers are choosing a laptop over a desktop because they value some ability to work away from a plug. Battery life gives a user more freedom and makes a device more reliable for travel, so we consider it here.<\/li>\n
  6. Port selection<\/strong>: The more ports, the better.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    We try to keep our picks as current as possible, but we may include an older device over its newer generation if we feel that the newer generation is a significant downgrade. We rarely recommend devices that are more than two years old.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    1. Apple MacBook Air (M2)<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
