Are you in the market for a new laptop? Then you are in the right place. With so many options out there, it’s hard to know which one to choose. That’s why I did the homework for you, and below is a breakdown of my top picks by type of usage.

Google Pixelbook Go

Pros:

· Great battery life: Works unplugged for up to 12 hours so you don’t need to carry a charger and just 20 minutes of charging get you 2 hours of use

· Made of magnesium (rare for a laptop), which makes it lightweight yet durable at barely 2 pounds

· Easy to carry: 13 millimeters thin with a wavy design on the bottom that provides more grip

· “Hush” keyboard for a new typist who is learning their way around a laptop

· Very rare 1080p duo webcam, which is usually only found on high-end and expensive laptops

· Affordable: Under $1K depending on specs

· The fanless design stays cool to let you comfortably use it on your lap

· 13.3″ LCD touchscreen display that offers either Full HD 1920×1080 (166ppi) or 4K Ultra HD Molecular Display 3840×2160 (331ppi) looks excellent and makes for an easier navigating experience for new and older users alike

· More built-in security: Titan C security chip and built-in virus protection help keep your data and passwords safe.

Cons:

· No biometric login (many new laptops let users log into their device with just a fingerprint, which makes it easier to keep the device safer)

· Higher-spec models are pricey

· Really low storage and RAM offerings for their base model

· No SD card slot, so any external storage will have to be via a USB-C connection.
