There’s no greater frustration than your laptop’s battery running out. Here’s our rundown of the best laptops that offer all-day computing.
You need one of the best long battery life laptops, whether you work remotely and travel a lot or you just have long workdays. Notebooks are not only getting more powerful than ever, but because of more power-efficient components, they also tend to last longer. Still, some do have better longevity than others, and they’re the way to go if you cannot afford to keep charging. The great thing about laptops with long battery lives like the 14-inch MacBook Pro and the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook – beyond being excellent travel companions – is that you won’t have to charge often. While that doesn’t have a massive impact on your overall power consumption, it still makes a bit of difference. More importantly, it just makes things a lot more convenient. You can stay untethered to the wall outlet for longer, which means you can work on your laptop wherever you want, even if you’re just staying at home. No one wants their laptop to suddenly shut down while they are in the middle of working, especially while traveling or commuting. The dream is to have one that will last you 24 hours, but we’re not there yet. For now, one of the best long battery life laptops below are guaranteed to last you the whole workday – and should more than suffice. Thanks to Apple’s groundbreaking M1 chip, what the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1,2020) lacks in improvements in the design department, it makes up for big time in performance and battery life. This laptop lasts you around 13 to 14 hours, and well past your full work day. Plus, its performance is so impressive that it can easily handle 4K – and even 8K – videos. If you’re looking for a powerful MacBook that keeps things small and lightweight while robust and long lasting, this is among the best option money can buy.
