Laptops for Writers

All laptops

8 laptops for writers from HP, Lenovo, ASUS and more. Most cost $229 to $389, and half cost less than $279.

Laptops whose listing states a screen of 14 inches or less and a weight under 1.8kg. Not every listing states a weight, so this is the portable machines we can prove, not every portable machine.

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