The best Windows laptops: Our No. 1 pick might convert Apple fans
Mashable's hands-on guide to the best Windows laptops includes the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, the HP OmniBook X 14, and the Lenovo Yoga 9i (Gen 9).
The best Windows laptops run an impressive gamut, from Qualcomm-powered workhorses that refuse to die to dual-display stunners and subtle gaming stations. (Some of them, dare we say, will tempt even the most devoted Apple Macbook disciples.) Users who need a new laptop for everyday productivity, creativity, or entertainment have no shortage of options. And that's for better or worse.
To help you pick out your next PC from the crowded Windows market, we've broken out our best laptops rundown into this separate guide to the best Windows machines of 2024. All of these laptops have been thoroughly hands-on tested by Mashable staff members or contributors for performance and build quality, and we stand by their value — or at least think they're worth finding on sale.
Read on to learn more about our favorite Windows laptops of 2024, including one new pick for September: The Alienware m16 R2 is our new favorite gaming laptop, replacing the Lenovo Legion 9i (Gen 9), which is still a fun splurge but too expensive for most people.
FYI: We've listed the pricing and specs of our testing units, which may not apply to each laptop's base model.
