Best Windows Laptops of 2023

Right now, these are the best overall Windows laptops you can buy. They’re all available in different sizes, and it’s a matter of personal preference as to which size works best for you and your setup.

All laptops are portable to an extent, but certain models are better suited to life on the road than others. And right now the best such options in our ratings are these.

If you’re looking to tackle more demanding projects like editing high-res photos and videos using Adobe Premiere Pro, creating 3D models using Blender, or occasionally playing a Steam game or two, you’ll probably want a laptop that combines a higher-end AMD or Intel processor with a dedicated graphics card alongside a large display. Here are the three Windows laptops in our ratings that best meet this criteria.

All three have the power to fly through your edits. The displays also ace our tests, so you’ll be looking at color-accurate images as you work.

Around one-quarter of the nearly 200 laptops in our ratings are 2-in-1s, so what makes for a good one? In our view, it’s a model that’s reasonably light, has at least midrange specs, and features a highly rated display to help the likes of Netflix and Disney+ pop.

All of the models below have 16-inch displays. Each is rated by our testers as being light for its size with a battery that lasts at least 12 hours. The specs are comfortably high-end, too, with Intel Core i7 processors, 16 gigabytes of memory, and at least 512GB of solid-state storage. The displays also get high marks, with all three offering OLED as an option. So once your workday is done, you can swivel the keyboard around and kick back with some “Succession.”
