The best laptops: Ultrabooks, budget PCs, 2-in-1s, and more
The best laptops today are basking in the glow of Intel’s 8th-gen Core CPUs, which at last bring quad-core performance to mainstream machines. The only thing missing is Oprah shouting, “and you get an 8th-gen quad-core laptop!”
There’s plenty of good news with this new generation. Our favorite convertible laptop, HP’s Spectre x360 13t, sports a quad-core 8th gen chip while maintaining its diminutive size. It’s really the total package. And there’s more to come: We’re currently in the middle of testing Dell’s 8th-gen-fortified XPS 13, which promises more performance in an even smaller package.
