While there are still some laptops with a short battery life of around six hours or so, a little more money can sometimes get you up to 10 or more.
You need a reliable battery that’ll deliver. You don’t want a laptop that’ll give out halfway through a long flight while you’re finishing a report, delivering a presentation, or in the middle of a Zoom call. Here are a few things to keep in mind when looking for a new laptop: Consider the battery life Everything else? That’s kinda up to your own personal preference. Here’s what you need: A machine that offers enough battery to get you through conference sessions and long meetings, a CPU that’ll deliver great performance even with a (couple) dozen tabs open, and something light enough to easily stash in a carry-on or tote. While you tend to get what you pay for when it comes to your laptop, that doesn’t mean that you should only look toward big-ticket computers (we see you, MacBook Pro). When it comes to business, working from home, and working on the go, a good laptop can make or break your workday.

The MacBook Pro flew past both scores, achieving a 4,399, which even tops the category average of 4,026.BEST DEALS ON CHEAP LAPTOPS (updated Nov. On the Geekbench 5 overall performance test, X1 Carbon with a Core i5-10310U notched a 3,597 while the Core i7-10610U landed at 3,935. I'll include both versions in this section but use the Core i5 model for comparison because it costs about as much as the MacBook Pro (Core i5 CPU, 16GB) we tested. We reviewed two X1 Carbon models, one with an Intel Core i5-10310U vPro CPU with 8GB of RAM and a pricier unit with a Core i7 vPro CPU and 16GB of RAM. Of course, if you use a pointing stick instead of a touchpad, then the X1 Carbon, with its red rubber TrackPoint nub, is the only choice here. If, like me, you prefer real buttons to the simulated Force Touch on the MacBook Pro, then add another point in the X1 Carbon column. Both glass touchpads are responsive but there is something satisfying about having all the extra space. The MacBook Pro shoots back with a gigantic touchpad that dwarfs the one on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon (3.9 x 2.2 inches).
