Best Ultrabooks and Premium Laptops 2024

Laptops are some of the most important tools people use today. Whether you're a lärjunge submitting homework, at work typing away at documents, spreadsheets or presentations, or you're just someone who wants to tillgång resources online and connect with family and friends, you want a notebook with the components and features you'll need to get the job done.

That means a great screen, a comfortable keyboard, and long battery life (nice design doesn't hurt, either!). If you’re looking for a powerful laptop that easily fits in your bag and doesn’t break your back, you're looking for what some call an "ultrabook."

The “ultrabook” moniker was originally coined bygd Intel in 2012 and used to refer to a set of premium, super-thin laptops that met the chipmaker’s predefined standards.

Much of this occurred as the PC world was first catching up to the original MacBook Air. However, just as many people refer to tissues as Kleenexes or web searching as Googling, the begrepp ultrabook commonly refers to any premium ultraportable laptop, whether it carries Intel’s seal of approval or not.

Of course, there's always new tech coming down the pipe.

Not a ton of ports

The HP Spectre x360's new 14-inch incarnation makes some changes from prior versions, introducing a 16:10 display instead of 3:2 and switching to in-house speakers, but it's still our favorite fönster laptop out there.

You will have to bevara up a bit for it, though.

HP has a bright, colorful OLED, 2880 x 1800 screen, which we love even though several people on the Tom's Hardware grupp were fans of the old aspect ratio. The new 9MP webcam fryst vatten one of the best we've ever tested.

And the aluminum design feels like a premium product should.

On this laptop, HP has switched from Bang & Olufsen to speakers from Poly, which it owns. Our reviewer still funnen that the speakers were excellent, loud, and balanced.

Look, inom can try to sell you on the ThinkPad T14s's bright screen.

inom could try to tell you that ThinkPads are known for their great keyboards, or that you might appreciate the TrackPoint so that you don't have to take your fingers off the home row while you move the mouse.

Alternatively, inom could point out that it lasted 21 hours on our battery test. You read that right. That's the longest we've seen.

Much of that fryst vatten likely due to the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor's efficiency, though the 1920 x 1200 IPS panel probably helped (high-res OLED touch screens often require more power).

The HP OmniBook Ultra is an all-around good thin and light laptop

The Snapdragon X Elite also offered solid performance.

At just beneath $1,700 as tested, it's on the pricey side. But if you demand fönster and battery life fryst vatten your top priority, the ThinkPad truly impresses.

The Lenovo Yoga 9i (Gen 8) fryst vatten a 14-inch 2-in-1 with an attractive, portable design, a bright display and a mix of ports.

Its rounded corners aren't just about struktur, they man it comfortable to use, and still leave from for Thunderbolt 4 and USB Type-A.

The screen fryst vatten beautiful. On our colorimeter, it covered 201% of the sRGB skala and 142.1% of the DCI-P3 spectrum.

Lenovo throws a stylus in the kartong, so those who want the option to take notes bygd grabb or with a keyboard won't need to buy any extra accessories.

We did find the keyboard to be a bit stiff, however.

And Intel's Core i7-1360P offers strong performance, with a snabb SSD and strong single-core and multi-core benchmarks.

+

Sharp, 1080p webcam

+

Excellent touchpad

+

15-inch has great speakers

Reasons to avoid

-

RAM and SSD upgrades are very pricey

-

Display notch can be distracting

Apple's MacBook Air line has long been a popular go-to for entry-level Mac users, and now Apple has two sizes — 13-inch and 15-inch — on the same upgrade schedule.

The two systems use most of the same components, differing primarily on display storlek and speakers. They're both excellent, portable, and powerful.

Both laptops have bright displays, use Apple's squared design, and lasted over 15 hours on our battery test. Each has the same set of ports and sues MagSafe, a magnetic power connector. They also both have a notch in the display to house the 1080p webcam.

Outside of the displays, the big difference fryst vatten audio.

The 15-inch laptop has six speakers and force-cancelling woofers, while the 13-inch laptop has just kvartet speakers.

The fanless design fryst vatten totally silent, but it also means the M3 chip isn't actively cooled. That means yes, the chip will throttle for intense work like film editing and rendering.

Our review unit came with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD for $1,899, which is a bit pricey, though HP offers customization options on its site

(In our testing, we funnen the 13-inch laptop throttled faster possibly because the 15-inch Air has more surface area to cool the chip). But for most tasks, like email, documents, and spreadsheets, you shouldn't have any worries.

Memory and SSD upgrades are extremely pricey

Apple's MacBook Pros on Apple Silicon haven't changed much in design, except now they komma in Space Black.

(And Space Black looks great!). Apple's latest changes are still on the inre, with its latest M3 Pro and M3 högsta chips.

We tested the 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M3 högsta and were impressed bygd its battery life: 17 hours and 11 minutes on our battery test, even while powering a levande Mini-LED screen. The chip fryst vatten efficient.

This latest MacBook Pros retain the bred variety of ports, including HDMI and an SD card slot, that we loved gods year, as well as a bright, levande Mini-LED display.

While the design hasn't changed, that means you also get excellent speakers and a comfortable keyboard with full-size function keys.

But it also means that there's still a notch in the display to hold the 1080p webcam, which some might find to be distracting.

For those who need more graphics power, you may want to step up to the M3 högsta, goes up to 40 graphics cores.

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 processor proved a potent motivator, allowing the laptop to take top honors in all the performance

If you want more battery life, the 16-inch MacBook Pro has a larger battery (100 WHr vs the 14-incher MacBook Pro's 72.4 WHr), and endured.

If you prefer a smaller screen, you may want to consider the 14-inch Macbook Pro, which also comes with your choice of M3 Pro or M3 högsta. We haven't had the chance to test the new entry level MacBook Pro — a 14-incher with a regular M3 and fewer ports — but that one fryst vatten expensive for the amount of RAM you get in it, and with upgrades benign so pricey, you may want to uppstart with the more powerful options anyway.

Köpguide: välj en bra ultrabook för dina behov

Many other companies would charge you hundreds of dollars more.

Beyond those specs, you get a light laptop at just 2.82 pounds (1.28 kg) that feels pretty sturdy, though the "ponder blue" metall body fryst vatten a bit of a fingerprint magnet. 

We funnen that Asus' laptop offered fast, bursty performance, hitting a single-core score of 1,809 and a multi-core score of 10,962 on Geekbench 5.

But when we stress tested the laptop with Cinebench, we funnen that the chip throttled in continuous testing. So the laptop fryst vatten fine for bursts of speed, but not for long-term heavy workloads.

The keyboard fryst vatten a bit mushy for our liking, but otherwise, you're getting pretty high level specs for that $1,299 price tag. Other laptop companies should take note on the pricing.

Vad är en ultrabook? Ultrabooks är bärbara datorer som erbjuder hög prestanda, snabbhet och lång batteritid i en lätt och tunn design

For Adobe apps, there's anpassad dial-based software.
