The Surface Pro 9 is an impressive upgrade over Microsoft’s earlier Surface devices, boasting a thinner profile, better battery life, and now 5G for lightning-fast connectivity. Furthermore, this device boasts unique features such as its screen resisting breaking when opening it or an SSD hidden behind its kickstand that provides access for fast storage space expansion.

Intel 13th-generation processors offer plenty of processing power to get projects underway. Choose between Intel Iris Xe or AMD Radeon integrated graphics for processing photos and videos; both models support up to 32GB RAM memory capacity with 2TB SSD storage options available.

The battery life on this laptop is incredible and you can take advantage of optional 4G LTE for connectivity on the move. There are ample ports (although not as many as those found on an X1 Carbon). Furthermore, it has an IP54 rating to provide dust, splash, and spill protection.

Inside you’ll find an Intel Core i3-1235U processor paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD storage, providing plenty of power for everyday tasks while being fast on our benchmark tests. There is also a headphone jack, USB-C port, HDMI out port and headphone jack – though unfortunately no fingerprint sensor!

6. Acer Chromebook 315

The Acer Chromebook 315 is an ideal entry-level laptop designed to meet the needs of students or anyone who requires everyday computing device. Running Chrome OS makes accessing photos, videos, documents and files simple while boasting long battery life and an attractive screen size.

Chrome OS laptops come equipped with either 4GB or 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM – a low-power version of DDR4 designed specifically for laptops – to meet various memory requirements. We advise opting for the latter if performing intensive tasks as Chrome OS can become slow when too many tabs and apps are running simultaneously.

The Acer Chromebook 315 features a 15.6-inch display and is powered by an Intel Pentium Silver N5030 quad-core CPU (Gemini Lake Refresh), with a base clock speed of 1.1 GHz but capable of reaching up to 2.6 GHz for single cores. Furthermore, an Intel UHD Graphics 600 GPU completes this package.
