A 14-inch IPS screen: We prefer 14-inch business laptops because they’re more pleasant for editing large documents or spreadsheets than 13-inch laptops, yet they’re still smaller and lighter than 15-inch laptops.We prefer Microsoft Precision Touchpads because they’re accurate and compatible with Windows 11’s multitouch trackpad gestures.


Performance: A good laptop for most people needs to have at least 8 GB of memory, a 256 GB or larger SSD, and a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor or a 4000- or 5000-series AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 processor.
