8 laptops for people who want the absolute best
Sometimes you just want the best.
No matter the price, and no questions asked.
If you want the best possible laptop experience, you need to think about four main things:
- A slim premium design and materials
- A sharp display
- An Intel Core i7 processor
- And at least 16GB of RAM
It's tough to say which of these 4 checklist items matter the most – each person might value one particular element more than another. One of the factors that makes the biggest difference, in my opinion, is the screen resolution. After using laptops and computer monitors with high-end 1400p and 4K resolutions, laptops with standard less-sharp 1080p resolutions feel decidedly less premium.
Keen spec-watchers out there might argue that you don't need a powerful Intel Core i7 processor, as it can be overkill for everyday computer tasks. For the average user, many would say an Intel Core i5 gives the best bang for the buck.
Normally, I'd agree. But these laptops aren't for people who care whether they're getting the best value. We're talking about machines that will give you the confidence that you're getting the smoothest and best performance for anything you might want to do on a computer, and a Core i7 will deliver just that.
That's also why you can't settle for 8GB of RAM. You'll need 16GB to ensure smooth and snappy performance, especially if you like to run lots of memory-hungry apps at the same time, or keep dozens of browser tabs open.
With that in mind, we set out to find the "best-of-breed" laptops on the market, the ones that best combine our four criteria to provide the ultimate laptop experience.
Note that I upgraded the storage on some of these machines to 500GB if their standard configurations come with 250GB. If you don't think you'll need 500GB of storage, you can always downgrade to a smaller storage option.
Check out the eight laptops, ranked in order of my preference, that will give you a premium, top-of-the-line experience:..
