The best laptops you can buy

Picking out a laptop isn't easy. It's hard to really understand whether or not a computer is right for your needs until you've actually used it for a while.
Maybe it's a bit more clunky than you thought when you carry it in your bag during a commute. Perhaps the screen is too reflective for your liking when you're watching Netflix. And worst of all, what if the battery life is much shorter than you expected?
We've researched some of the best laptops on the market and combed through reviews to at least give you some of the best options to choose from.

Apple MacBook Air

The MacBook Air is still one of the best laptops you can buy. Not only is it razor-thin and light, it offers excellent performance and battery life too. In its review, PCMag wrote that it got more than 10 hours of battery life out of the MacBook Air. It comes in 11- and 13-inch screen sizes, but if you plan on using it primarily for work we'd suggest the larger option.
One thing of note: Apple is reportedly going to release a new version of the MacBook Air in a few months. You may want to wait to see about that if you can afford it.
