LAPTOP SPECIAL ....6 laptops for people who want the absolute best

6 laptops for people who want the absolute best

Sometimes you just want the best. No matter the price, and no questions asked.

If you want the best possible laptop experience, you need to think about four main things: A slim premium design and materials, a sharp display, an Intel Core i7 processor, and at least 16GB of RAM. It’s tough to say which of these checklist items matter the most — each person might value one element more than another.

For some, the biggest difference is the screen resolution. After using monitors with high-end 1400p and 4K resolutions, laptops with standard less-sharp 1080p resolutions feel less premium. Keen spec-watchers might argue that you don’t need a powerful Intel Core i7 processor, as it can be overkill for everyday computer tasks. So, here are the ones above the $1,000 price band that best combine the four criteria to provide the ultimate laptop experience.

Huawei Matebook X Pro

Screen size: 14-inch Screen resolution: 3K (3000 x 2000) Touchscreen: Yes CPU: Intel Core i7-8550U (4 cores up to 4.0GHz) RAM: 16GB Storage: 512GB SSD The thin bezels around display give a premium experience. Its 3:2 display aspect ratio looks more square than typical 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.

It comes with a standard USB port, but has comparatively large bezels than its peers.

HP Spectre x360 15
