Laptops for Travel

All laptops

32 laptops for travel from ASUS, Apple, Lenovo and more. Most cost $416 to $1,799, and half cost less than $1,299.

Under 1.3kg. Lighter than the lightweight group, because a machine that is carried through an airport every week is a different question from one that is carried between two rooms.

We do not pick by hand: a laptop is here because its listed specs pass the checks.
