FAQ

What’s the best low-priced laptop? 

PCMag’s current top-rated budget laptop is the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14, which offers excellent performance and a bevy of modern trappings that almost make you forget it rings up at less than $600.

Which is the best site for buying a laptop? 

The usual suspects when it comes to buying a laptop are Amazon and Best Buy, but you can often snag a deal at Newegg and Walmart, too, or direct from PC makers like Dell and HP. They all want your money, so they’ll often price-match each other if a rival is having a sale. Use a price-comparison app to compare prices and read PCMag’s reviews to make sure you’re really getting a deal.

What is the most reliable laptop to buy?

The HP Pavilion Plus 14 is our current favorite among general-use Windows laptops. This laptop merges high-quality hardware and design with a surprisingly low starting price, bringing very capable computing power to more people than most flagship models. For those set on Apple, you can save some money and still get a powerful, long-lasting laptop by picking up the M1-based 2020 MacBook Air—otherwise, the pricier 2022 model is also a safe choice.

Which laptop is best in 2022?

Laptops come in many flavors. Do you need a gaming PC? A portable, convertible 2-in-1? Maybe you’re a macOS fan. We have top-rated laptops in each category, but our top-rated overall laptops include the HP Pavilion Plus 14 and Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 mentioned earlier, as well as the 2022, M2-based Apple MacBook Air.
