The Best Brands of Laptops

Laptops have survived the test of time and become a mainstream household item, even more, common than their desktop counterparts.

So who, what, and which are the best brands of laptops we should pay attention to in 2021?

Without further ado, here are the best brands of laptops today:

8. HP

HP is a great, consumer-based laptop brand. Beginning in the late 90’s as part of Compaq, HP has grown to become one of the biggest names in laptops. The company offers a wide range of options from middle to high end and packs many features into their products.

On a budget? Check out the HP Stream, which is one of the most affordable laptops around with excellent specs for its price. The HP Pavilion x360 convertible laptop also offers decent performance and a good design at an unbeatable value.

For business users, we recommend the HP EliteBook series of laptops that offer cutting-edge security features for enterprise environments.

7. Toshiba

Toshiba is a Japanese company that produces laptops for the consumer market. Most of their products are incredibly high quality and well designed, with much featuring cutting-edge technology. The Tecra brand is geared towards business, as its devices feature enterprise-level security, hard drives, and well-engineered chassis.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade or buy a new laptop, chances are Toshiba will have something for you. From their affordable Chromebooks (which we’ll talk about in the next section) to their high-end gaming laptops and even work machines, this brand has it all. Their products aren’t always the best and they may not necessarily be as popular as others on this list but if you can get your hands on one of these computers, I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed – especially if you can find a deal.

6. Lenovo

Lenovo has been making some fantastic laptops for quite some time now. Although they are best known for their business-oriented options, they have recently started producing more multimedia-oriented products as well. Some examples include the Lenovo Yoga series and IdeaPads Y Series devices. The company’s newest planes, such as the YOGA 900s or X1 Carbon, are becoming hot products in the laptop market.

5. Apple

If you’re looking for a laptop with an iconic brand, look no further. Apple laptops are known for their cutting edge design and high build quality, which means that they will last for many years to come. The latest version of the MacBook Pro is incredibly thin and powerful. Additionally, the Touch Bar adds new functionality to your keyboard so you can get more out of your device than ever before. However, its price tag is enormous – especially if you want a lot of memory or larger storage. The MacBook Air is the budget option, but it’s thin and light just like its Pro counterpart.

4. Acer

Acer is a reputable brand that has been selling laptops since the mid-80s. They’re not as popular as other brands, but they are still well-known for their affordability and quality.

The most recent model by Acer is the Swift 5 laptop which features Windows 10 Home (64 bit) operating system, an Intel Core i5 8250U processor, and 4GB RAM among many other impressive specs. It boasts a 13.3-inch Full HD Widescreen LED-Backlit Display, and a 256GB Solid State Drive (SSD).

Acer is also well known for its strong support network which makes it easier to get help from the company’s specialists if something goes wrong with your laptop. The only downside of this brand is that they mainly target business customers so you won’t find many models geared towards consumers or gamers.

3. MSI

MSI is an international brand and was founded by three ex-IBM employees in Taiwan. They are known for producing high-quality gaming laptops, but also a line of more affordable home computing devices. Some MSI laptop models include the GS60 Ghost which has Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 970m graphics chip. The GS70 Stealth Pro is another excellent option that features an Intel i7 processor, 16GB DDR3 RAM, and up to 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD.

2. Razer

The Razer Blade is a gaming laptop, and this model in particular has the best graphics you can get on any laptop. It’s really expensive though, so it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking to play AAA games like Battlefield 1 or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at ridiculous settings with no frame drops, then this is the one for you! Because of how powerful it is, we recommend getting a good thermal cooling pad as well.

1. Samsung

Samsung makes some pretty high-quality laptops that don’t have the huge price tag attached. The Samsung Book 9 Plus is a lightweight laptop with a solid design and decent specs, all of which are tucked inside an aluminum body. It weighs just less than 2 pounds yet can still pack quite a performance punch thanks to its 6th generation Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB DDR3L SDRAM memory. Its 15-inch display has a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, and it also has a solid battery life of a little more than 9 hours.

Another notable model is the Samsung Book 7 Spin, which can be seen as an improved version of the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus above. It improves upon its predecessor with better graphics and processing power while maintaining a similar design and weight. The 13-inch laptop has Intel HD graphics 5500 inside, alongside 4GB DDR3L SDRAM memory and 128 GB SSD storage for quick startup times along with fairly quick program and app loading times. The battery is also a good 10 hours long, giving you plenty of juice for your daily activities.

As you can see, there are many good brands to choose from. However, there is one brand that stands above the rest: Samsung. The exceptional build quality and high-performance components make it a worthy investment for anyone on the market looking to purchase a new laptop.
