Working from home is a nice way to have more flexibility and prioritize tasks you need to accomplish. If you're going to work from home, purchasing a good laptop is a must. And if you're working from home for the first time, you need to know what to look for in a good laptop that can run your business, keep your personal life running smoothly and, of course, not break the bank. Here are some of the best laptops for working from home.
HP Spectre x360 14
This sleek, lightweight HP laptop has a 360-degree hinge and a touchscreen that lets you flip and rotate it into four different usage modes: notebook, tablet, display, and tent. The 360-degree hinge makes it easy to close the lid and lay it flat on a table for drawing with the pen, or just as easily open it up to write on the screen with the pen. Equipped with a speedy processor, the HP Spectre x360 14 lasted more than 14 hours on a charge.
Dell Inspiron 16 Plus
This Dell is geared toward the tech enthusiast, and sports performance parts like an Nvidia discrete graphics card and a full HD display that covers 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut. It's fast, weighs just over 5 pounds, and it comes with plenty of ports--there's even an SD card reader.
Apple MacBook Air M1 2020
The MacBook Air got a much-needed update in 2020, including a new ultrathin keyboard, a faster Intel processor, and longer battery life. As always, it's the thinnest notebook around, making it ideal for those who want to take their device with them. It also features lighter storage space, HDMI output, and Apple's new homegrown M1 processor.
Microsoft Surface Pro 8
The Surface Pro 8 is a better pick if you plan to use your tablet as a laptop too. It has a larger 13-inch display with slimmer bezels, an 11th generation Intel Core processor for a little extra power, and USB-C ports instead of a magnetic charger.
Lenovo Yoga 7i (14-inch)
Whether you're surfing the Web, working on a presentation, or just kicking back on Facebook, the Yoga 7 laptop makes it easy to switch from PC to tablet mode. This 2-in-1 laptop has strong performance, gets long battery life for work or school, and offers up thousands of movies, TV shows, games, apps, and more with its built-in Windows 10 software.
