For most people, the HP Series 3 27 inch 327se is the best 27 inch monitor for a home office: a 1080p IPS panel at 100Hz with a height-adjustable stand and Eyesafe-certified low blue light mode. The Dell S2725QS is the sharpest pick at 4K and 120Hz, and the Acer KB272 G0bi is the smoothest […]

If you want the single best portable monitor for a laptop right now, the KYY K3 is the one I put in front of everyone I advise: a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS panel at 1.7 pounds, two full-function USB-C ports, and a smart cover that turns into a stand so nothing else has to live in […]

If you spend hours writing in class, the best 2 in 1 laptops for note taking earn their keep in the two seconds after a lecture ends when you sketch a diagram, circle a formula and underline a definition. A fast processor does not help there. A bright, high-resolution touch panel with a pen digitizer […]

The Apple MacBook Air 13-inch with the M5 chip is the best laptop for most college students in : it weighs 2.71 pounds, runs up to 18 hours on a charge, and carries 16GB of memory with a 512GB SSD that will comfortably outlast a four-year degree. I have spent the last several months putting […]

At a 1500 dollar ceiling you can get a current-generation discrete GPU, 16GB of DDR5 memory and a genuinely high-refresh display in one machine, and the Acer Nitro V 16S AI with an RTX 5060 and 32GB of RAM is the strongest all-round pick. We went through eight laptops that sit under the cap and […]

If you want one honest answer to the best laptops under 1000 dollars question, it is the HP Chromebook 14a-na0226nr. It carries more owner feedback than anything else we looked at, holds a stated 14-hour battery, weighs 3.2 pounds, and costs a fraction of the ceiling. Last updated for . I spend an unusual amount […]

A monitor that suits a MacBook Pro is not defined by size or refresh rate. It is defined by two numbers: enough pixels per inch to render macOS text the way the built-in display does, and enough USB-C power delivery to run a single cable from the laptop. I spent weeks comparing ten external displays […]

After six weeks of swapping panels on my desk, the Samsung ViewFinity S50GC is the one screen I kept coming back to as the best monitor for programmers: a 34-inch 21:9 canvas that fits an editor, a terminal and a browser reference pane at once, a matte coating that kills reflections, and 100Hz motion that […]

The best curved monitors for immersive gaming do something a flat screen physically cannot: they wrap the edges of the image toward your head so a 34-inch panel behaves like a much wider one. I have been living with curved panels on and off for the past two years, swapping between a 34-inch 3440x1440 daily […]

An ultrawide monitor for productivity is a display with a 21:9 or 32:9 aspect ratio that shows several full-size application windows side by side on one screen, so you stop alt-tabbing between two panels and its bezels stop breaking your line of sight. We spent weeks switching between a 34-inch, a 40-inch, a 45-inch and […]
