Price	$791.00

2) LG Gram 17

Key Feature	i7 1.8HGz quad-core processor
Where to Buy	https://www.lg.com/au/laptops/lg-17z90p-g.aa85a#
Price	$2,999.00

The LG Gram’s finest feature is that it makes a large 17″ laptop very portable. It’s lighter than most 13″ laptops, weighing in at 1.35kg. So you get this huge, gorgeous 16:10 QHD screen without the additional weight! The LG Gram is a great phone for students and multitasking workers who need to travel or commute frequently, but still want a large screen to get the most out of their time.

Key Differentiators:

• i7 1.8HGz quad-core processor
• 16GB RAM
• Over 19 hours of battery life

Customer’s Review:

It is great to find a manufacturer that makes a light 17″ laptop. I just wish they had 2 models – one with the current keyboard and one with a full sized keyboard without the dedicated 10key numeric input.

3) Lenovo Chromebook Duet

Key Feature	Brilliant 11″ 2K near-borderless touchscreen
Where to Buy	https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/ideapad/ideapad-d-series/IdeaPad-Duet-3-Chromebook-11-inch-QCOM/p/LEN101I0034
Price	$599.00

The popularity of the Chromebook in Australia hasn’t quite matched that of other countries. Most have been cheap and boring, with only a few “premium” Chromebooks ever reaching Down Under. Lenovo’s IdeaPad Duet Chromebook straddles the “affordable” and “good quality” categories effectively, resembling a low-cost Microsoft Surface but utilizing Google’s Chrome OS.

Key Differentiators:

• Flexible 2-in-1 Chromebook with detachable keyboard
• Brilliant 11″ 2K near-borderless touchscreen
• Light as a paperback, weighs from just 516g / 1.14lbs

4) Microsoft Surface Laptop 4

Key Feature	Up to 19 hours of battery life (for typical device usage)
Where to Buy	https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/d/surface-laptop-4/946627fb12t1?activetab=pi
Price	$1,198.00

The Surface line is meant to serve as a model for the rest of the laptop industry, but Microsoft has produced some excellent laptops on its own. The Surface Laptop 4 is an outstanding example, whether you go with AMD’s less-expensive variants or Intel’s more powerful versions. Microsoft has been sitting on the design of the Surface Laptop for a while now, and it may use more ports and perhaps a better color selection, but for business users in the Windows world, the Surface Laptop 4 is difficult to beat.

Key Differentiators:

• 13.5” or 15” touchscreen
• Quad Core 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7 processor or Quad Core 11th Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 processor
• Up to 19 hours of battery life (for typical device usage)

5) Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6

Key Feature	Up to 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 vPro® processor
Where to Buy	https://www.lenovo.com/ph/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-x1/X1-Yoga-G6/p/22TP2X1X1Y6
Price	$2,497.00

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6 is the company’s most feature-rich 2-in-1 business laptop, with Intel 11th-gen Tiger Lake processors with Iris Xe graphics and Intel Evo certification, making it one of our favorite 2-in-1 laptops. It has a plethora of ports that the MacBook Air can’t match, but it does lack an SD card slot, which some creatives may find inconvenient.

Key Differentiators:

• Up to 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 vPro® processor
• Up to Windows 10 Pro OS
• Up to 32GB LPDDR4x Memory

6) Razer Blade 14 2021

Key Feature	AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors
Where to Buy	Click here
Price	$4,739.44

The Razer Blade 14, which is expected to be released in 2021, manages the difficult balance of providing portability while still providing gaming power. The issue is that the delectable versions, such as most gaming laptops, aren’t cheap. The Razer Blade 14 2021 is a great gaming system, with performance that sits at the top in the market right now and high refresh rate displays and excellent in-body cooling — so you won’t cook your lap when you’re roasted your enemies.

Key Differentiators:

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Graphic
• AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors
• 165Hz QHD display

Customer’s Review:

I rushed to buy it as soon it was released and I don`t have no regrets at all! For small gaming laptop amazing performance, low fan noise around 40-45db, and very decent temperature and amazing battery life in such compact package! I managed to get even 14 hours and 35 minutes on full hd 60 hz, 30% brightness from it which is very impressive for gaming laptop for this size. No to mention that superb razer build quality and awesome speakers. Trust me, You definetly won`t regret buying it!

7) Dell XPS 13

Key Feature	13.3″, FHD 1920×1080, 60Hz, Non-Touch, InfinityEdge
Where to Buy	https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-laptops/xps-13-laptop/spd/xps-13-9305-laptop/smhnx9305c01ausb
Price	$1,358.98

The Dell XPS 13 is a build-to-order laptop, which means its performance can vary significantly depending on the configuration that you choose. It also has a fantastic design with tiny bezels and a lightweight construction. Although a build-to-order technology, be cautious of getting what you want because older processor versions may stay at retail.

Key Differentiators:

• 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7 (8 MB cache, 4 cores, 8 threads, up to 4.20 GHz Turbo)
• Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics
• 13.3″, FHD 1920×1080, 60Hz, Non-Touch, InfinityEdge

8) Lenovo Yoga C940

Key Feature	4 modes: Laptop, tend, stand, tablet
Where to Buy	https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/yoga/yoga-2-in-1-series/Lenovo-Yoga-C940-14IIL/p/88YGC901221
Price	$2,999.00

Lenovo’s Yoga line includes a variety of 2-in-1 laptops, and the C940 is an excellent premium pick. The 2020 model offers either 8GB or 16GB of soldered RAM and a 10th-generation Core i7 CPU, but it isn’t really a gaming machine because to Intel’s Iris Plus graphics. Where the Yoga C940 shines above its competition is in the stylus that comes with it, which is housed within the laptop’s body, so you won’t forget it.

Key Differentiators:

• 10th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1065G7 (4C / 8T, 1.3 / 3.9GHz, 8MB)
• 4 modes: Laptop, tend, stand, tablet
• Intel Iris® Plus Graphics

Customer’s Review:

This laptop addresses some of the issues I didn’t even realize my last computer had. For example, they have recessed the Power button, which I had a habit of accidentally bumping in the previous model. It also comes with a pen, which I have found a lot of great uses for (not just a stylus).

9) Apple MacBook Pro 16 Inch M1 Max

Key Feature	32GB unified memory
Where to Buy	https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/16-inch-space-grey-10-core-cpu-32-core-gpu-1tb
Price	$5,249.00

The 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Max is the most costly M1 MacBook available, but it’s also one of the finest. This year’s model includes numerous upgrades over previous years’ models, including a faster processor and 128 GB of storage. There are also some added benefits, such as a larger display with 120Hz Mini-LED technology, more connections, an improved webcam, and MagSafe charging.

Key Differentiators:

• 32GB unified memory
• 1TB of SSD storage
• 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display

10) Acer Swift 3x

Key Feature	Lightweight and portable design
Where to Buy	https://www.acer.com/ac/en/AU/content/series/swift3x
Price	$1,599.00

The Acer Swift 3X doesn’t appear to be anything special in the ultrabook world. In fact, it looks like it was created using a generic ultrabook design as a starting point. The Acer Swift 3X stands out for what’s beneath the surface, with 11th Generation Intel Core processors and a surprisingly capable battery for such a light. Intel’s own Iris Xe Max graphics aren’t ideal for heavy duty graphics processing, but they’re a fantastic ultraportable choice.

Key Differentiators:

• 11th Generation Intel® Core™ processors
• Intel Iris Xe Max graphics
• Lightweight and portable design

11) Apple MacBook Air M1

Key Feature	8GB unified memory
Where to Buy	https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air/space-grey-apple-m1-chip-with-8-core-cpu-and-7-core-gpu-256gb
Price	$1,499.00

However, the MacBook Air M1 makes a significant statement about both computational power and battery life, even if its market share is still dwarfed by that of Windows. The M1 is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from the iPad Pro 12.9 to the 24 inch iMac, and it provides similar performance across the board. The MacBook Air M1 has comparable power, a lower price tag, and superior battery life as its larger sibling, making it an easy winner in terms of laptops.

Key Differentiators:

• 8GB unified memory
• 256GB SSD storage
• 13-inch Retina display with True Tone

12) Razer Blade 15

Key Feature	1.8GHz 14-core Intel i7-12800H processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz, with 24MB of Cache
Where to Buy	https://www.razer.com/au-en/gaming-laptops/Razer-Blade-15/RZ09-0421EED3-R3B1
Price	$4,549.00

The Razer Blade 15’s newest facelift takes its already exceptional design to new heights. It has the same stunning CNC-milled aluminum body as its forerunner, but this time it can accommodate a Nvidia RTX 30-series GPU and an Intel 12th Gen Core i9 CPU. While it isn’t the lightest gaming laptop available, it’s five pounds lighter than numerous standard gaming laptops while still providing comparable performance and features.

Key Differentiators:

• 1.8GHz 14-core Intel i7-12800H processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz, with 24MB of Cache
• Windows 11 Home

Price	$1,574.00

The HP Spectre x360 (2021) is now available with 11th-generation Intel Core processors, which provide a significant performance boost and better integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, making it more powerful than ever.

Key Differentiators:

• 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor

• 13.5″ diagonal, WUXGA+ (1920 x 1280), multitouch-enabled, IPS, edge-to-edge glass, micro-edge, anti-reflection Corning® Gorilla® Glass NBT™, 400 nits, 100% sRGB

14) MSI GS66 Stealth

Key Feature	15.6″ QHD, Anti-Glare Wide View Angle 240Hz 2.5ms DCI-P3 100%
Where to Buy	Click here
Price	$4,295.42

There’s no escaping the fact that this is a lot of laptop for a lot of money. The RTX 3080 is a high-performance gaming GPU, and the 1440p IPS display will allow you to get the most out of it as well. The Max-Q 3.0 has several advantages over its predecessors, including a thinner design and faster performance owing to the presence of 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD.

Key Differentiators:

• 15.6″ QHD, Anti-Glare Wide View Angle 240Hz 2.5ms DCI-P3 100%
• Intel Core i7-11800H 8 Core 2.4 – 4.6GHz

15) Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022)

Key Feature	ROG Boost: up to 100W(SmartShift)
Where to Buy	https://rog.asus.com/au/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g14-2022-series/spec
Price	$1,649

The Zephyrus G14 for 2022 impresses us once again with its well-balanced specs list and outstanding gaming performance. This thing destroys frames up to its 120Hz refresh rate, and it’s fantastic for a lot more than just gaming. The G14 performs well in our benchmarking suite, and I have to say that overall gaming performance of the RX 6800S impresses me. That’s without even turning to the more demanding Turbo setting.

Key Differentiators:

• ROG Boost: up to 100W(SmartShift)
• 8GB DDR5 on board memory
• AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HS Mobile Processor

16) Dell G3 15

Key Feature	256 GB (SSD)
Where to Buy	Click here
Price	$1,440.00

The Dell G3 15 has great 1080p gaming for less than $1,500, and the battery life is excellent. The most significant change from its previous model is a more elegant design. The thinner bezels around a 144 Hz display and the more high-end appearance complement each other well. It’s a welcome less-glitzy design, if you’re looking for a gaming laptop that doesn’t scream “gamer” as soon as you pull it out of your backpack. 

Key Differentiators:

• 8th Generation Intel Core i5-8300H Processor (Quad-Core, 8MB Cache, up to 3.9GHz w/Turbo Boost)
• 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 up to [32GB], (additional memory sold separately)
• 256 GB (SSD)

Customer’s Review:

A beast. In the heavier side and it needs a proper mouse because the trackpad feels cheap, but it packs a lot of power. (The screen is not very bright)

17) Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (16″ AMD)

Key Feature	2x 8 GB SO-DIMM DDR4-3200 memory
Where to Buy	https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-5-series-laptops/Legion-5-Pro-16ACH6H/p/WMD00000468
Price	$2,039.15

The AMD Legion Pro 5 demonstrates that AMD is a serious threat in the gaming laptop market. The Ryzen 7 5800H and RTX 3070 combine to make a laptop that not only runs current games smoothly, but also can tackle more substantial excursions with ease. The QHD 16:10 165Hz screen is a major selling point, and it makes gaming and just using Windows an absolute pleasure.

Key Differentiators:

• Windows 11 Pro 64 OS
• 2x 8 GB SO-DIMM DDR4-3200 memory
• AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H (8C / 16T, 3.2 / 4.4GHz, 4MB L2 / 16MB L3)

18) Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 (2022)

Key Feature	Latest 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H Processor
Where to Buy	Click here
Price	$2,749.00

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 (2022) has everything turned up to 11, from the overclocked CPU—which is as powerful as it gets—to the stunningly quick 360Hz display on the top version. Asus has gone above and beyond in order to dethrone our gaming laptop tests. Even the best gaming laptops in the market can’t match its overall performance, which is topped by its GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU, which beats away at its heart.

Key Differentiators:

• Latest 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H Processor
• Full Connectivity
• 16GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM | 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 Performance SSD

Customer’s Review:

Everything I’ve played so far (Halo Infinite, Warzone, Rust, and World of Warcraft) have run flawless! The graphics are outstanding! Iavent tested battery life yet as I always leave it plugged in anyway. Great purchase!

Key Feature	12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7
Where to Buy	https://www.acer.com/ac/en/AU/content/predator-series/predatorhelios300
Price	$2,199.00

The newest Helios model has an RTX 3060 GPU and a more elegant design without increasing the price much. It also includes a 144Hz screen and less bezels, making it more comparable to thin-and-lights than its heavier predecessors from the previous generation. This basic function is included in all of the Predator gaming laptops to maximize possible additional gaming performance.

Key Differentiators:

• 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7
• 4800MHz DDR5 / M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD
• 6P-core + 8E-core

Where to Buy	https://www.asus.com/au/Laptops/For-Home/Vivobook/Vivobook-S15-S533/where-to-buy/
Price	$1,299.00

The Asus VivoBook S15 is a new model that has just come out, and it’s already made it to our top ten list. This is due to the fact that it combines excellent performance with a tiny and light design at an affordable price. This is the finest laptop for you if you’re searching for a mid-range computer that can yet perform admirably.

Key Differentiators:

• Up to 10th Intel® Core™ i7 processor
• Up to NVIDIA® GeForce® MX350
• Up to 16 GB memory
