The best Windows laptops run an impressive gamut, from Qualcomm-powered workhorses that refuse to die to dual-display stunners and subtle gaming stations. (Some of them, dare we say, will tempt even the most devoted Apple Macbook disciples.) Users who need a new laptop for everyday productivity, creativity, or entertainment have no shortage of options. And that's for better or worse.
To help you pick out your next PC from the crowded Windows market, we've broken out our best laptops rundown into this separate guide to the best Windows machines of 2024. All of these laptops have been thoroughly hands-on tested by members of the Mashable team for performance and build quality, and we stand by their value — or at least think they're worth finding on sale.
Our top picksAs of Dec. 2024, Mashable's favorite Windows laptop is the 13-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, an elegant workhorse powered by the impressive Snapdragon X Elite processor. It's got high-end power, a premium design, interesting AI features, and an incredible battery life. It's actually the longest-lasting laptop we've ever reviewed: Even the brand-new M4 MacBooks can't keep up.
SEE ALSO: The best laptops of 2024, tested and approved by Mashable's expertsFor almost as much Snapdragon oomph at a lower price point, opt for the HP Omnibook X 14, the best mid-range Windows laptop. It's not much to look at, but it's plenty power-efficient and equipped with a great keyboard. It also comes with the same AI tools as the Surface Laptop 7. Those on an even tighter budget should look into the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3, a pretty ultraportable for everyday tasks.
The Lenovo Yoga 9i (Gen 9) is the best 2-in-1 laptop we've tried, earning praise from our reviewer for its gorgeous 2.8K OLED touchscreen, its peppy (albeit piping-hot) CPU, and its clear Bowers & Wilkins soundbar. For a twist on the hybrid form factor, we also highly recommend the beautiful Asus Zenbook Duo. We've got additional picks for specialty users — the Alienware m16 R2 is the best gaming laptop we've tested thus far, and the Acer Swift X 14 is our go-to Windows laptop for photo and video editing.
What's on deckWe've got several newer Windows laptops in hand for testing, including a Dell XPS 13 with an Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processor and a tandem OLED display; the HP Omnibook Ultra Flip, which is a Lunar Lake convertible; and the upgradable, repairable Framework Laptop 13. We'll update this guide in the near future if we think any of them are worthy picks.
Also, stay tuned for Mashable's coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), a massive tech trade show that goes down in early January. We expect lots of new and refreshed Windows laptops to come out of it.
What we've tested lately (and didn't love)We recently finished trying the HP Omen 17, a 17-inch gaming laptop that retails for $1,799 as tested. Our reviewer appreciated its in-game and thermal performance, calling it "more than capable of playing AAA titles at high settings with a smooth refresh rate and practically no retained heat." However, its mediocre keyboard, speakers, and battery life hold it back. It's nice if you just want a powerhouse that doesn't cook your desk, but it's not well-rounded enough to be our top pick.
Read on for Mashable's in-depth guide to the best Windows laptops of 2024. FYI: We've listed the pricing and specs of our testing units, which may not apply to each laptop's base model.

SAVE $299.01: The Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum with 60-day self-emptying base is on sale at Amazon for just $299.99, down from the list price of $599. That's a 50% discount.
Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum with 60-day self-emptying base $299.99 at AmazonTis the season to not worry about cleaning your floors. Between work, holiday parties, kids' activities, wrapping gifts, and cooking a turkey, there's not much time left for vacuuming before guests arrive. Instead, enlist the help of a robot vacuum that won't fa-la-la-la down the stairs.
As of Dec. 19, the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum with 60-day self-emptying base is on sale at Amazon for just $299.99. That's a 50% discount off the typical price of $599 and a savings of $299.01.
Capable of cleaning both hard floors and carpet, the Shark AI Ultra works hard to keep your floors sparkling clean without being a bother. Shark employs the help of LiDAR vision to make an accurate map of your home's layout. Not only does this help the lil' robot make its way around your home to clean, it also gives you the ability to tell your robot to go vacuum the family room but avoid the kitchen, for example.
Shark also uses Matrix Clean to detect and then remove debris from areas that need extra attention. Instead of taking a single pass over all areas, the Shark operates in matrix grid pattern over areas that need extra help.
For pet owners, the self-cleaning brushroll means you'll won't have to perform a hair-removal surgery to free the brush from a tangle.
When the Shark is done cleaning, it'll return back to its charging base which is also a self-emptying base. Inside, the base can store up to 60 days worth of dust and debris before you'll need to empty it out. In short, that means you won't have to consider floor maintenance for about two months at a time.
With the associated Shark smartphone app, you can set schedules for your robot vacuum, check on the battery power, or set no-go zones for areas you want the vacuum to avoid. But if you don't love using a smartphone, you can also control the robot vacuum with voice commands.
If you'll be busy in the next few weeks with hosting holiday parties, get the help of the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum. It'll never sigh loudly or complain when asked to vacuum and its reliable suction power will leave your home's floors spotless. It's on sale at Amazon for 50% off and if you order soon, it'll arrive before Dec. 25.
The No. 10 Indiana Hoosiers and the No. 7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish will face off in the first round of the College Football Playoffs (CFP). The match will take place at Notre Dame Stadium in Indiana on Friday, Dec. 20, and is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
Indiana is 11-1 overall and 8-1 in the Big Ten Conference, but came in second in conference to the No. 1 overall team, the Oregon Ducks. Notre Dame is also 11-1 overall, but is no longer in a conference, so the Fighting Irish couldn't claim a top seed.
The CFP has moved to a 12-team playoff format that allows the highest ranked winners of the top four conferences to take the top four seeds. The highest ranked winner of a fifth conference will take the 12th seed, if the team is not ranked higher than 12. The rest of the playoff field is filled out by ranking in a bracket released by the CFP committee. The top four seeds earn a first-round bye.
The winner of Indiana vs. Notre Dame will go on to face the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl.

The popularity of polyamory and other non-monogamy has been on the rise in recent years, with some experts citing the first Trump election and COVID-19 for challenging sexual and romantic norms. Regardless of the reasons why, dating apps and search engine trends tell us that non-monogamy is on our minds.
For individuals known online by tens of thousands of people for being polyamorous, there can be some unique challenges to their relationships — especially when they end. Social media can be a blessing for any minority community, many of whom are desperate to see themselves represented and to find opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals. But for those in the spotlight, their public persona adds a singular element to heartbreak.
Social media followers "want to know everything""Some people have a weird entitlement towards content creators," says Michelle Hy (@PolyamorousWhileAsian), a Portland-based polyamory content creator. "I've kept pretty good boundaries and rules when I post about a breakup or de-escalation — if it's amicable, I'll use it as an example in my stories or just to show that de-escalations can happen. If it's more tense than that, I won't talk about it publicly at all."
SEE ALSO: What happens when your favourite TikTok couple breaks upDe-escalation is a term used in the polyamorous community to mean reducing the level of intimacy or commitment between partners, while still staying connected. For example, a couple who decides to stop living together but continue dating might describe that process as a de-escalation of their relationship. "Sometimes people want to know who did what, which I understand, but can definitely feel invasive," says Hy.
Hy's experience with prying eyes is echoed by other polyamory content creators. "When I was grieving my breakup, people would comment things like, 'Aw, you guys were so cute, I'M grieving your breakup,' which kept me feeling kind of stuck," reports Gabrielle Alexa Noel (@gabalexa), a queer sex and polyamory educator. "People expected a statement from me, my partner, and his other partner. We all ended up agreeing not to post about it to avoid having our opinions and experiences weaponized. But even still, a lot of people expected a story — with a beginning, middle, and neat, tidy end. That's just not real life."
While important for destigmatizing alternative lifestyles, social media also blurs the lines between the personal and the public. It's easy to forget that the people who share parts of their lives for the purpose of education and community are offering something very generous, often at some personal expense.
"We get used to some parts being public and forget that that's just the surface level. It looks cute on paper, and it is cute in real life too, of course," observes New York-based queer artist, Jonzu (@jonzu). "But you're not always going to see the day-to-day work."
It's important to remember that social media can never capture the full nuances of anyone's life, but at its best, it can offer a slice of hope in the form of representation and shared joy.
The court of public expectations onlineWe already know that women, people of color, and queer people experience disproportionate harassment online. Unsurprisingly, this is reflected in the experiences of polyamorous influencers as well. Hy, who specifically creates content about intersectional polyamory as a queer Asian woman, shares: "I want to display more examples of diverse polyamory, and I definitely feel bummed that I can't do that without putting my loved ones at risk." Followers can become demanding about personal details and bring high parasocial expectations for how influencers conduct their personal lives.
Hy isn't the only polyamorous influencer facing these unrealistic expectations of unofficial ambassadorship. Followers can feel invested in the representation they want to see, forgetting that influencers are just living their lives. "My ex is Black, and so am I, but none of my other partners are. After we broke up, I received overwhelming pressure online to date another Black person next," says Noel. "I lean towards dating other people of color in general, but I don't want to be measuring my dating interactions based on public expectations!"
While influencers' fans can see their breakup and have opinions about their personal decisions, so do the haters. "When we were breaking up, I remembered comments like, 'I'm just following to see this crash and burn' from people who hate polyamory. I never want them to think they were right!" adds Noel.
Setting boundaries as a polyamorous content creator"I have specific conversations with people from the beginning, even on early dates," says Noel. "Like when we take a picture, if I post them and tag them, people might go to their page and interact. Sometimes 5,000+ people will click on my friends' profiles after we take a vacation together!" While most of this engagement is harmless, it follows that higher visibility online creates a higher likelihood of harassment.
"My Puerto Rican partner of 4+ years experienced a lot of racial harassment, and it wasn't in response to anything in particular, just the existence of our relationship," Noel continues. "That made her reticent to be tagged for a while. She's okay with it now, but it's something I realized I have to give new partners a heads up on."
SEE ALSO: What are the rules for blocking someone after a breakup?Other influencers agree that there have to be intentional choices when deciding which parts of their personal life to make public and which parts to keep private. While there is value in vulnerability and visibility, finding the balance is a crucial part of these influencers' well-being. "I didn't really post about breakups, but recently my published writing has become more personal. I wrote about my last breakup, but kept it pretty open-ended," says Jonzu.
"I keep names anonymous and I don't post photos of partners or friends," Hy agrees. "Having a public page also makes me more careful about who I date in general — it has happened more than once on a first date that someone will say 'I follow you on Instagram' and I realize they automatically know a lot more about me than I know about them. In general, it makes me feel a lot more cautious than I was 5 years ago."
The pros of the online polyamorous communityDespite this plethora of challenging experiences, it's a relief to know that our polyamorous content creators aren't going anywhere. "I wouldn't be polyamorous without social media," says Noel. "It's where I found helpful information, made connections, and knew what to expect at NYC polyamory events. Eventually, it opened doors for writing opportunities and the events that I host, which I find rewarding."
"We booked some fun gigs — we were a power throuple!" says Jonzu. "It was a unique time for us to collaborate as queer artists and writers. It felt good at times being told that people look up to us for our dynamic.'"

Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.
What's the best Wordle starting word?The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.
What happened to the Wordle archive?The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.
Is Wordle getting harder?It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.
