My general guidelines are to first pick the operating system you need (based on personal preference or class requirements), and then get the best specs you can afford. If your school has specific requirements or recommendations, they are likely found on the school website. A quality laptop should also have a good screen, keyboard, and trackpad \u2014 and preferably enough ports and some decent speakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Unless you\u2019re buying a Chromebook, aim for an M4 processor (for Macs) or an Intel Core Ultra 5 or 7, an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series, or a Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor on a Windows machine, especially if you want your laptop to last at least four years. Aim for at least 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. If your budget allows for more RAM or storage then go for it, especially if neither is user-replaceable \u2014 it\u2019ll help with performance and longevity. If you have to choose based on budget, prioritize RAM, since external storage is easily available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Taking much of that into account, here are our top picks among current laptops.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>The best laptop for most students<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Apple MacBook Air 13 (2025, M4)<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/257607_M4_MacBook_Air_ADiBenedetto_0049.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"product-scores\">\n<h4>Score: 9<\/h4>\n<table class=\"product-pros-cons\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Pros<\/th>\n<th>Cons<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Easily lasts a full day on battery<\/li>\n<li>Excellent choice for most people\u2019s everyday needs<\/li>\n<li>Nails the basics in a thin-and-light while feeling like a nice place to be<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Still starts with just 256GB of storage<\/li>\n<li>Still has limited ports<\/li>\n<li>Still prone to throttling under heavy creative tasks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-2025-MacBook-13-inch-Laptop\/dp\/B0DZD9S5GC\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$999<\/strike> $849 at <strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/apple-macbook-air-13-inch-apple-m4-chip-built-for-apple-intelligence-16gb-memory-256gb-ssd-midnight\/6565862.p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$999<\/strike> $849 at <strong>Best Buy<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1883962-REG\/apple_mw123ll_a_13_macbook_air_m4.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$999<\/strike> $949 at <strong>B&amp;H Photo<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Unless you\u2019re going into a field involving lots of graphics rendering or video editing, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/627186\/apple-macbook-air-m4-13-15-inch-2025-laptop-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MacBook Air<\/a> should be more than enough computer to last through the student years. The Air is our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/21250695\/best-laptops\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top laptop recommendation<\/a> for most people, and that includes students \u2014 particularly students in high school or starting college. Nothing else offers quite the same balance of performance, build quality, and battery life as Apple\u2019s entry-level laptop. It\u2019s a speedy little machine that can even handle some heftier content creation work. Its battery can easily get you through a packed day of classes. And it has the best trackpad around. The only major downside with an Air (as with all modern MacBooks) is that you can\u2019t upgrade the storage or memory after you buy it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Now that MacBooks start with 16GB of RAM, even the base $999 13-inch model is excellent, if a little short on storage space at 256GB. So you may want to consider the $1,199 model with 512GB of storage. For the same price you can get the larger 15-inch model with roomier screen real estate and even better speakers, but then you\u2019re once again starting with 256GB.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Apple MacBook Air 15 (2025, M4)<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/257607_M4_MacBook_Air_ADiBenedetto_0183.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"product-scores\">\n<h4>Score: 9<\/h4>\n<table class=\"product-pros-cons\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Pros<\/th>\n<th>Cons<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Easily lasts a full day on battery<\/li>\n<li>Excellent choice for most people\u2019s everyday needs<\/li>\n<li>Nails the basics in a thin-and-light while feeling like a nice place to be<\/li>\n<li>Louder speakers over its smaller counterpart<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Still starts with just 256GB of storage<\/li>\n<li>Still has limited ports<\/li>\n<li>Still prone to throttling under heavy creative tasks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-2025-MacBook-15-inch-Laptop\/dp\/B0DZDBDCFH\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$1199<\/strike> $1049 at <strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/apple-macbook-air-15-inch-apple-m4-chip-built-for-apple-intelligence-16gb-memory-256gb-ssd-midnight\/6565869.p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$1199<\/strike> $1049 at <strong>Best Buy<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1883955-REG\/apple_mc7a4ll_a_15_macbook_air_m4.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$1199<\/strike> $1069 at <strong>B&amp;H Photo<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/627186\/apple-macbook-air-m4-13-15-inch-2025-laptop-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our review of the M4 MacBook Air.<\/a><\/h5>\n<div class=\"wp-block-vox-media-highlight vox-media-highlight\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><strong><\/strong><strong>A note on older M-series Airs:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The original M1 MacBook Air can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Apple-MacBook-Air-13-3-inch-Laptop-Space-Gray-M1-Chip-Built-for-Apple-Intelligence-8GB-RAM-256GB-storage\/609040889\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">still be bought new<\/a> from Walmart for $649 or less.

Apple\u2019s base model <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24289831\/apple-macbook-pro-m4-review-14-2024-laptop-specs-benchmarks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14-inch MacBook Pro<\/a> is a step up from the MacBook Air, with the same M4 chip. Its starting price of $1,599 is a significant jump from a $999 Air, but you get better performance and a bunch of worthwhile upgrades. The Pro has more ports than the Air, including an SD card reader and HDMI 2.1. Its screen is a nicer Mini LED panel with higher resolution and faster refresh rate. It\u2019s got more ports, including an SD card reader and HDMI 2.1. It starts with 512GB of storage. And its battery lasts <em>even longer<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">These upgrades go a long way in making the MacBook Pro better and more futureproof for heavier creative tasks. Especially since it has a fan to cool its chip, allowing you to use content creation apps like the Adobe Creative Cloud suite for longer \u2014 the passively cooled Air starts off fast in these apps, but slows down considerably once its chip starts getting too hot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Apple has two higher-end MacBook Pros: the 14- and 16-inch models running M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. They\u2019re fantastic laptops with even more processing power than the base M4, plus upgrades like Thunderbolt 5 ports, but they start at $1,999 and $3,199, respectively. An M4 Pro model is a more futureproof option, but these are better fit for a working professional than a student.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24289831\/apple-macbook-pro-m4-review-14-2024-laptop-specs-benchmarks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our review of the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4.<\/a><\/h5>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>The best modular laptops you can upgrade yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Framework Laptop 13 (2025, AMD Ryzen AI 7 350)<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/257702_Framework_Laptop_13_AMD_2025_ADiBenedetto_0001.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"product-scores\">\n<h4>Score: 9<\/h4>\n<table class=\"product-pros-cons\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Pros<\/th>\n<th>Cons<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Still the repairability champ with excellent, modular port selection<\/li>\n<li>Faster CPU performance over both Intel and previous AMD models<\/li>\n<li>High-res 3:2 aspect ratio screen is great for productivity<\/li>\n<li>Thin, light, and an overall great package<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Radeon 860M iGPU performance is a little lacking<\/li>\n<li>Trackpad still feels a little cheap<\/li>\n<li>Screen is a little lacking in contrast and color quality<\/li>\n<li>Less repairable laptops offer more for similar prices or less<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/frame.work\/products\/laptop13-diy-amd-ai300\/configuration\/new\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $899 at <strong>Framework<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/650608\/framework-laptop-13-review-2025-amd-ryzen-ai-300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Framework Laptop 13<\/a> and 2-in-1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/688959\/framework-laptop-12-review-modular-touchscreen-intel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laptop 12<\/a> are notebooks that can grow and change with you.

It\u2019s a great Chromebook for older students, and a solid machine for just about anyone who wants a no-nonsense everyday computer. For $750 you get a fantastic touchscreen OLED display with deep contrast and vivid colors, a great keyboard, and marathon battery life. It\u2019s a package that\u2019s well built and totally silent thanks to a fanless design.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Arm-based MediaTek processor is what gives the Lenovo its zippy performance and battery stretching into a second day of use. It can also lead to some small compatibility issues if you venture into using Linux apps (they need to be Arm compatible), but that\u2019s unlikely to affect most users.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Chromebook Plus 14 has some other small flaws, like lackluster 5Gbps data speeds on its USB ports and an only-okay trackpad, but it nails most everything else. And, again, paying only $750 for a 14-inch OLED panel this nice is a rare treat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/697878\/lenovo-chromebook-plus-14-laptop-google-chromeos-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our review of the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14.<\/a><\/h5>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>The best 2-in-1 convertible Chromebook<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 (2024)<\/h3>\n<div class=\"product-description\">Acer\u2019s Spin Chromebook is configured with Intel\u2019s first generation of processor with an NPU.

It\u2019s got a great keyboard that Asus claims to have tested as spill-resistant, giving a bit more peace of mind when entrusting it to a child.

It\u2019s got AMD Strix Point processors that are powerful enough for even some light gaming, and the star of the show is its 2880 x 1800 16-inch OLED touchscreen capable of a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Zenbook S 16 is one of the pricier options we have here, with a standard price of $1,799.99, but it sometimes goes on sale for as much as $500 off. This is a very capable option for high school or college students who need to run Windows and prefer a big screen for easier multitasking. And its thinness makes it very portable for a 16-inch machine, making it less of a hassle to tote a large laptop around campus. Asus also makes a 14-inch version \u2014 we expect it to be similar, but we haven\u2019t tested the smaller model.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The downside of the Zenbook\u2019s powerful chip and thin chassis is that it\u2019s not the battery champ some of the other options here are. It\u2019s still enough to get through an average day of classes, but it\u2019s going to need a charge in the late afternoon if you have a lengthy sprint of back-to-back lectures or you\u2019re cramming late into the night.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24215430\/zenbook-s-16-2024-review-amd-ryzen-ai-laptop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our review of the Asus Zenbook S 16.<\/a><\/h5>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>The best gaming laptop for (very responsible) students<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025)<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/rogzeyphg14_solo.webp?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"product-scores\">\n<table class=\"product-pros-cons\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Pros<\/th>\n<th>Cons<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Balanced performance, battery life, and portability<\/li>\n<li>OLED display<\/li>\n<li>Programmable LED strip on the lid<\/li>\n<li>Great keyboard and smooth trackpad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Gets a bit hot and loud under load<\/li>\n<li>Soldered RAM<\/li>\n<li>Thermally throttles its GPUs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-14-oled-3k-120hz-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-270-16gb-lpddr5x-geforce-rtx-5060-1tb-ssd-platinum-white\/6629420.p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$1799.99<\/strike> $1349.99 at <strong>Best Buy (5060)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rog.asus.com\/us\/laptops\/rog-zephyrus\/rog-zephyrus-g14-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $1799.99 at <strong>Asus<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-14-3k-oled-120hz-gaming-laptop-copilot-pc-amd-ryzen-ai-9-hx-32gb-ram-nvidia-rtx-5070-ti-1tb-platinum-white\/6613954.p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$2399.99<\/strike> $2049.99 at <strong> Best Buy (5070 Ti)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Treating your kid to a gaming laptop may seem like you\u2019re inviting them to slack off, but if you want to splurge on one device for both schoolwork and play you can\u2019t go wrong with Asus\u2019 ROG Zephyrus G14. The G14 is as \u201cnormal\u201d as gaming laptops get, with a design that doesn\u2019t scream cringe-gamer too much (aside from some small ROG branding). Unlike many other gaming laptops, the Zephyrus has solid battery life that can get you through your day\u2019s classes \u2014 assuming you save the gaming for when you plug in at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The $1,799.99 base model uses a capable AMD Ryzen 9 270 processor and discrete Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, which is enough power to play just about any game, even the latest big-budget ones, albeit not at the highest settings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">An important part of what makes the G14 special is how good <em>the rest<\/em> of the laptop is. It\u2019s got a crisp and lovely 14-inch OLED with 2880 x 1800 resolution and 120Hz refresh, a great keyboard, and a very good trackpad. It offers a bunch of ports, and it doesn\u2019t run overly loud or hot when tackling the basic productivity stuff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You\u2019d be spoiling your kid a bit (maybe a lot of bit) with a laptop like this, but you can meet their school needs while also treating them to the world of PC gaming.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22295181\/best-gaming-laptop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our buying guide featuring the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14.<\/a><\/h5>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re in the heart of summer fun, but it\u2019s already time for back-to-school planning, especially if that involves buying a [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
