The perfect college laptop may not exist. But somewhere between performance, size, weight, and price, there's a machine that will make everyone happy. We test dozens of laptops, tablets, and accessories every year, so we know these picks will stand up to some serious use: |
- For high school and college students, you can't go wrong with Apple's MacBook Air. It's light, easy to cart around in a backpack all day, and powerful enough for most tasks. This version with the latest M3 chip and 8 GB of RAM is just $850 ($250 off).
- If your (school)work mainly involves taking notes, doing research, reading textbooks, and other knowledge-related tasks, you might be able to skip the laptop and use a much lighter tablet like the iPad Air ($800 $750).
- If you have a tablet, you'll appreciate a portable stand. Our favorite is the Rain Design mBar Pro+, because despite being made of thin aluminum, this simple stand is sturdy. Type away without worrying about it buckling, and take it from class to your living room or a coffee shop. It's 10 percent off, just in time for back-to-school shopping.
- Taking notes with pen and paper is old news. Our favorite digital notebook and smart pen combo is the reMarkable 2, one of the best-known names in the game. The matte screen feels like paper, writing on it is quick and responsive, and the battery life is exemplary.
- A good 2-in-1 Chromebook is the HP Chromebook Plus x360, which is $90 off right now. The x360 is lightweight, and because of the 2-in-1 design, you can flip the screen into tent mode to watch TV without a keyboard in the way—it's a business and party device.
