Top Business Laptops for 2024

TL;DR

  • Lenovo ThinkPad: Known for reliability and durability, ideal for development work.
  • Dell XPS: Great for business applications, especially in finance/accounting.
  • MacBook Pro/Air: Offers seamless ecosystem integration, preferred by creative professionals.

Lenovo ThinkPad

The Lenovo ThinkPad is highly recommended for business use due to its power and reliability. It is particularly favored by developers for its durability and excellent keyboard [5:1], [5:4]. The ThinkPad series is known for not breaking the bank while providing solid performance, making it a popular choice among business owners who need a dependable machine for everyday tasks.

Dell XPS

Dell's XPS lineup is praised for its rugged design and suitability for business applications. It's especially recommended for those in finance or accounting due to its compatibility with Excel and other Windows-based software [4:2]. However, potential buyers should research battery health, as some users have reported issues over time [4:2].

Apple MacBook Pro/Air

MacBooks are favored for their seamless ecosystem and sleek design. They are often chosen by creative professionals and entrepreneurs who value aesthetics and integration across devices [5:2]. The MacBook Air M4 is noted for its portability and performance, making it a good option for those on the go [5:7].

Acer Predator

While not a traditional business laptop, the Acer Predator has been used effectively by video producers for editing and heavy lifting tasks [5:3]. Its robust performance makes it suitable for creative professionals who require high processing power, although users should be aware of potential battery degradation over time [5:3].

Processor Considerations

For those looking into specific technical specifications, Ryzen processors are recommended for their performance and efficiency. A Ryzen 5000 or newer processor is suggested for optimal performance [4:3]. Additionally, Intel CPUs are known for their low power budget efficiency, which is beneficial for laptops [3:3].

In summary, when selecting a business laptop for 2024, consider your specific needs—whether it's reliability, performance, or ecosystem integration—and choose a model that aligns with those priorities.

Top 5 best and top 5 worst NFL defenses based on total points allowed from the 2000 season through 2024

ORIGINAL POST

I was recently reading some debate about Derek Carr and his tenure/legacy with the raiders, and I know there's a bit of debate about how good or decent of a qb he was vs the raiders defense performances during his tenure as qb. It got me thinking, which teams, since 2000, have had the overall best defenses and overall worst defenses in the league. Using Statmuse, I wanted to look up this answer based solely on total points allowed, because at the end of the day, the more points allowed, more losing games. So, top 5 best and worst defenses of the past quarter century roughly, in TPA

Top 5 best.

  1. Ravens - 7,542 points
  2. Steelers - 7,666 points
  3. Patriots - 7751 points
  4. Eagles 8,470 points
  5. Seahawks - 8,506 points

Top 5 worst

  1. Lions - 10,027 points
  2. Raiders - 9,926 points
  3. Cardinals - 9,584 points
  4. Rams - 9,399 points
  5. Falcons - 9, 336 points.

I knew the lions and raiders were bad, but 10,000 points over 25 seasons is nuts. That's over 400 points given up a season average.

It's crazy that 4th and 5th are basically as close to being in the 5 worst as they are to matching the Ravens and Steelers. Really puts into perspective just how consistently fuckin good their defenses have been, despite multiple changes of the guard now.

Intel's CPU architecture is fine tuned for operating in low power budgets, it is greatly superior in laptops.

Unfortunately, AMD's GPU architecture is waaaay beyond what Intel achieves, and we're more often GPU limited than CPU limited in a laptop.

Well, I'm using two desktops, two customized desktops, and one MacBook Air M4. That's for compiling, you know, mobile app, iOS. Yes, the customized one, they have 64 GB of RAM, you know, powerful CPU, and a hard disk that writes 7, I think it was 7 GB per second. I've got two of those desktops, one for researching, and one for cursor and cloud code. Yes, I don't just stick to just one laptop, you know, because you need power for a lot of things. You know, VSC with Claude Code or Cursor with CC their resource intensive. Go up to, you know, go for a big RAM, and things like that. so those are the things that I use.

Let’s say you need to run a windows POS application on windows and have access to email for front desk employees thinkpad t480 has Ethernet port and is cheap to replace if broken. As a manager who needs longer battery and have lots of things open at the same time you want base MacBook pro. If you don’t need windows for some specific app MacBook Pro just the best laptop for pretty much any task especially if you have an iPhone and aiprods etc. I work as integration specialist and I have thinkpad where I dual boot fedora and windows 11 because my clients work with windows apps mainly. I also have MacBook Air m1 for internet browsing and because I want to know how to use macOS. macOS for productivity. Windows pc for industry specific software. Linux nerds.

Business laptop

Posted by MrB007 · in r/thinkpad · 2 months ago

Looking to buy a professional business laptop that gives me best bang for buck. I don't travel that much for business so it doesn't need to be super light but still needs to be small and light enough to use on train, plane, etc.

Looking at the p14s gen 6 and can get this spec for £1185 new. Is that a good deal?

I run windows 11 and multitask across Outlook about 5 different spreadsheets at anyone time, PowerPoint, word, about 10 to 15 browser tabs, teams calls with sometimes up to 20 to 30 people, etc.

AMD Ryzen™ AI 7 PRO 350 Processor (2.00 GHz up to 5.00 GHz) 32 GB DDR5-5600MT/s (SODIMM) 512 GB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 Performance TLC Opal 14" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 100%sRGB, 500 nits, 60Hz, Low Power 5MP RGB+IR with Microphone and Privacy Shutter Smart Card Reader 4 Cell Rechargeable Li-ion 57Wh 65W USB-C Wall Mount Nano GaN 90% PCC

Any other recommendations (even, i dare say... other brands?)? Is this overkill? I'm looking for something that will last a decent amount of time.

Thanks!

Thanks. I was going to buy new because lenovo is running a sale now and the p14s gen 6 is about the same price as a refurbished g5. I was going to p14s as I can upgrade it as time goes on. Looking for best band for buck over the long run. What would you suggest with that in mind?

1 upvotes on reddit
Shadow-BG · 2 months ago

I would suggest to buy anything used, in example X1 yoga gen6, which will give you more ram and options ( in example sim card for always-on connectivity.

Battery will last you solid 7 hours of such multitasking.

But if you really want something new, then stick to p14s, great machine

1 upvotes on reddit
natusw · 2 months ago

Additionally P14s usually has more aggressive boost/power settings, which usually means shorter battery life.

Standard T14, maybe T14s would probably work better here..

If you want a smaller footprint, I’d probably look at X13/L13 as well (these should be your smallest options available - they also may have nicer gear onboard, too..)

1 upvotes on reddit
MrB007 · OP · 2 months ago

Thanks. Is there a way to change the boost settings to improve battery life? Didn't really want to go t14s route as cant upgrade ram.

Don't need anything smaller. I have an hp envy 13 at the moment and the p14s is about a cm bigger, same thickness and 200g heavier. Also x13 soldered ram right?

island_wide7 · 2 months ago

So I’m running the P14s Gen 5 intel with the dedicated gpu.

I consistently have these open and running at the same time :

3 spreadsheets, two teams accounts (I have 3 jobs) , 2 outlook email accounts(one through app the other through web) and a private email account, two corporate system accounts along with generally 5 Microsoft docs at the same time and multiple pdf bundles pulled up too. I have two separate phone systems I use (one is cornxa app and the other is Google voice through web)I have a lot of screen real estate so most of that is always visible except for minimized word docs I have running. I also have a pdf editor and design/estimating software on the actual laptop screen (minimizing one and pulling back up the other one through out the day)

I said all that to say this. My p14s g5 intel was the best business decision I’ve ever made. Never once had it shown any lag—the things a firecracker

Best Laptops of 2025

Posted by Mission_Ant7242 · in r/u_Mission_Ant7242 · 4 months ago

Are you searching for the best laptops of 2025? Finding the right laptop is essential be it for gaming, work, or casual use. I’ve spent time with some of the top rated laptops, putting them through their paces.

Here are my top picks for best laptop 2025:

  • Acer Aspire 3 Laptop - (Best Overall)
  • Lenovo V15 Business Laptop - (Best For Business)
  • Apple MacBook Air 2024 (M3) - (Best For Work)
  • HP 255 G10 Laptop - (Best Budget Option)
  • ASUS ROG Strix G16 Laptop - (Best For Gaming)

Let's look at each of them!

1. Acer Aspire 3 Laptop

This laptop is a fantastic pick for those who need an affordable yet capable device. The AMD Ryzen 3 7320U processor and AMD Radeon graphics handle everyday tasks smoothly. I was particularly impressed with its 15.6” Full HD IPS display—the colors are sharp and vibrant, making it great for casual media consumption.

The lightweight design made it easy to carry around, and the thermal improvements kept it cool during long sessions. It’s not built for heavy gaming or professional editing, but for students and professionals who need a reliable, budget-friendly option, this laptop delivers.

2. Lenovo V15 Business Laptop

The Lenovo V15 surprised me with its balance of power and portability. Featuring 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, it’s a multitasking beast. Running multiple browser tabs, Excel sheets, and even light photo editing was a breeze.

The anti-glare 15.6” Full HD display is easy on the eyes, though it doesn’t match the vibrancy of higher-end options. While the Intel Celeron processor is decent for basic tasks, it’s not ideal for gaming or resource-heavy applications. However, the massive storage and RAM make it a fantastic choice for business professionals or students juggling multiple projects.

3. Apple MacBook Air 2024 (M3)

The new MacBook Air with the M3 chip is a powerhouse in a slim package. Apple’s 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display is absolutely stunning, and the 16GB of unified memory ensures apps run smoothly, no matter how many are open.

I loved the 18-hour battery life—it genuinely lasted me through an entire workday and then some. Whether I was editing photos, writing, or just streaming, it handled everything flawlessly. Plus, if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, the seamless integration with iPhone and iPad is unbeatable. It’s on the pricier side, but the build quality and performance make it worth every penny.

4. HP 255 G10 Laptop

The HP 255 G10 is a versatile machine, especially for those on a budget. Powered by the AMD Ryzen 3 7330U processor, it performs well for both work and light entertainment. The 15.6” Full HD display is bright and crisp, and the 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD provide plenty of power for multitasking.

One thing I appreciated was how lightweight and portable it felt despite its larger screen size. Whether it’s browsing, light editing, or streaming, this laptop offers a solid experience without breaking the bank.

5. ASUS ROG Strix G16 Laptop

If gaming is your priority, look no further than the ASUS ROG Strix G16. This laptop is a beast, packing an Intel Core i7-13650HX processor and NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU. Games ran buttery smooth on the 16” FHD 165Hz display, and the Pantone-validated panel is perfect for vibrant visuals.

The cooling system is a standout feature, keeping the laptop from overheating during marathon gaming sessions. With 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, loading times are practically nonexistent. It’s on the heavier side, but that’s a small trade-off for the power it delivers.

Final Thoughts

After testing these laptops, I can confidently say each has its own strengths. For budget-conscious users, the Acer Aspire 3 and HP 255 G10 are excellent options. If you’re a creative professional or love sleek designs, the MacBook Air M3 is unbeatable. The Lenovo V15 is perfect for business users who need multitasking power, and for gamers, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 is the ultimate choice.

Laptop need for work/business. Budget: $3,000 USD.

Posted by Enhancedhiring · in r/laptops · 4 months ago

Hey all, need a laptop that I plan to use for work/business. My IT department is absolutely against Apple products or a Macbook pro would be the easiest choice in the world.

  • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: $3000 USD - purchasing in US
  • Are you open to refurbs/used? No
  • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Performance, build quality, battery life, touchscreen would be nice but not important
  • How important is weight and thinness to you? Not mission critical but definitely would be looking for a lighter laptop/not overly bulky
  • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Anywhere in the 14-15 inch range is perfect. Don’t really care as long as it’s not 13, have had that and it’s frustratingly small haha.
  • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. not particularly all the time but here and there have to pump into photoshop.
  • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Not gaming
  • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Reliable, solid build quality, at least 32gb of ram. Would be nice to have a device that feels more “premium” kind of similar to a MacBook, but again not a need to have.
  • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.  I work in product but kind of have to float to different aspects of the company a lot of the time. I primarily spend my time on MS teams, excel, PowerPoint, Figma, visual studio code, notion, Jira, etc. Heavy user of a ton of tabs in google chrome open at the same time as well as multiple other programs open with those tabs. Do lots of video calls while sharing screen and navigating different apps.

Overall this will be my device for when I have to travel, if i want to work somewhere other than my home office (I do this a lot).

Thank you in advance!

Based off of what you are looking for I can recommend the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12, HP Elite Dragonfly G5, Dell XPS 14, or the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Gen 9.

I agree with this comment! I had the exact same requirements. And it really came down to the below two:

Dell XPS 14/15 Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i

I ended up choosing the Lenovo, cause I felt it had more bang for the buck and better service center ecosystem.

I actually had the XPS 13 from 2023 for about 3 months. The small screen was horrible to work with + the performance of it degraded heavily when utilizing multiple applications.

Definitely considering the Yoga Pro 9i as you guys have mentioned.

Just got a Lenovo Yoga this week. Very fond of it so far.

The Dell Inspiron was great until suddenly it wasn't, then wouldn't hold a charge despite buying two brand-new batteries (thought the first one might've been bad, was too late to return, no humans in customer service, ordered another, also didn't work.) Even when plugged in, would run out immediately, now it won't turn on at all. Sigh. Lasted five years.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, newest one sits at around £2 400 iirc. Fits your needs and your price.

If you're looking for a laptop for business purposes and need to perform multitasking,I think an MSI laptop could be a great choice. It handles business applications well and has a sleek look that I really like.
