Just from seeing that name, some readers can probably predict exactly what this device is going to be: a lightweight, mediocre performer with excellent battery life. But the Spin 513 has a quite nice 1920 x 1080 screen, which is as good of a resolution as you’ll ever see on any laptop at this price. It’s portable at 2.65

Open one too many tabs on a few-year-old laptop, and your fan starts spinning, your battery life dips, your system starts to slow. Mighty claims it’ll eliminate distracting cookies and ads, automatically notify you about Zoom meetings, quick search Google Docs and presumably other integrations to come.

Master of the multitask I’ve never really understood the appeal of 17-inch laptops. They are often too big to carry around easily or use on your actual lap like you might want to do with a laptop from time to time. Either way, this is firmly in premium laptop territory.

AMD helps bring OLED to the mainstream Seeing a laptop with an OLED screen at a sub-$1,000 price point is wild. But if there’s anyone I’d trust to make sub-$1,000 OLED happen, it’s Asus, one of the masters of affordable, portable laptops. Most unsurprisingly, the ZenBook 13 OLED dominated both of those laptops on battery life.

A few corners have been cut, but the fact that they’re even worth mentioning is a testament to how excellent this laptop is. Holster the pitchforks — I know that’s not heavy in the grand scheme of laptops, but it’s noticeably heavier than the Galaxy and the Go.) The downward-firing stereo speakers are also not great.

inches, it’s a typical size for a tablet, but if you’re trying to use it the way you’d use a work laptop (with dozens of tabs and Windows side by side, for example) things get cramped. Another area where the Duet is punching above its weight class: battery life. Both were actually better than the webcams I tend to see on laptops.

The Elite Folio is a lightweight, leather-covered, convertible Windows laptop powered by a Snapdragon processor with Arm architecture. The Folio is a convertible laptop, but you have more than the usual tent, tablet, and clamshell options. I think this is the first laptop I’ve ever reviewed that I wish had slightly larger bezels.

As smartphones mature, we’re doing more on them and less on our laptops. There’s a ton of information on all this, but I still like Time Magazine’s now ancient 2012 article, Your Life Is Fully Mobile , which is part of their larger Mobile Tech Special Edition. And never the twain shall meet.

That is, you can fold it the long way when you’re using the tablet like a laptop, or you can flip the tablet vertically and fold the kickstand horizontally. The battery life is, in fact, excellent. That battery life doesn’t come free, though, and the CM3’s performance was a mixed bag. This was a difficult product to score.

Apple announced its new M1 chip, which, if the company’s claims about performance gains are to be believed, could redefine our expectations for laptop processors. Big Sur is a fine operating system as it is.

Downloading macOS Monterey, by contrast, has not impacted my life much. Joining a FaceTime call from a Windows laptop is eerily similar to joining a Zoom or Google Meet call — you click the link, the call opens in your browser, you’re asked to enter your name, and you wait around until the host lets you in.

There’s a Google H1 security chip inside, which works like the TPM chips that you’ll often find in Windows business laptops. One disappointment underscores all of this, and that’s battery life. I’ve seen significantly more than that (with the same workload) from all kinds of Chromebooks, not to mention Windows and macOS laptops.

I also need to be able to work on the move: I need my "virtual desk" in front of me quickly, whether from my laptop or some other desk or smart device. Dropbox sits nicely between formal, full featured project communications tools such as Basecamp (which we also use), Central Desktop , or Google Apps and Docs.

It can ratchet all the way down to 11Hz to save battery life or all the way up to 120Hz to ensure scrolling and animations look smooth. It’s plenty fast and has decent battery life. Heck, Google Docs is actually halfway decent on this screen when you put the device in landscape mode.)

But if you’re looking for a tablet to replace your laptop or get serious work done, the Fire HD 10 is not it. Amazon claims up to 12 hours of battery life between charges, and though I didn’t do a formal rundown test, my experience leads me to believe that’s accurate.
