It is always difficult to choose a new laptop. PC or Mac, processor, power consumption, battery, finishing, RAM, dedicated graphics card or not. All these parameters can quickly make the search tedious, without ever having the certainty of having made the right choice. To find your way around, we offer you a selection of the best laptops of the moment.

More than specialized computers for this or that use, we offer here a selection of versatile computers that will suit most purposes, whether playing games more or less greedy, make photo editing or video editing and of course all the "classic" uses of a computer such as navigation and word processing. All while maintaining a small footprint and a decent autonomy.

Dell with its XPS 13 and Microsoft with the Laptop 2 both offer excellent slim models in formats that are now very popular and very convenient for mobility. They are joined by Razer and his Blade Stealth and by a newcomer, Huawei, better known for its smartphones but who offers something very interesting in 14 inches even if the recent news leaves weigh doubt on the future of the brand in the marketing of Windows PCs.

On the side of the more traditional format of 15 inches Dell is at the side of the alternative Apple for fans of Mac OS or Surface Book 2 Microsoft. Four models are available for gamers but not with the same capacity at play or for the same budget. Finally entry-level and mobile PCs will interest those who do not want to invest too much and for whom office automation and navigation are sufficient, such as students.
