When shopping for a laptop, it’s easy to let your spending get out of control. Those beautiful Apple, Dell or HP machines that are honed from single pieces of aluminium, are impossibly thin and light, yet as powerful as desktop workstations can be extremely tempting. And also extremely expensive.
You won’t find them here. Instead we’ve gone to the other end of the market, finding machines that offer fantastic value for money even if they are a touch thicker and heavier than the market leaders. Specs tend to be a little lower at the cheaper end, and macOS and Windows are joined by ChromeOS, Google’s browser-based operating system that’s perfectly happy on hardware other operating systems would run extremely slowly on.
