The Best Laptops for 2025

Laptops have become an essential part of our lives but especially since having to adapt to working from home due to pandemic. While some may have settled into a home-office set-up or had one already if you’re a freelancer, others may have hoped it only be temporary. Now, a reliable laptop is vital for ensuring productivity and making working life run smoothly.

We get it, there’s a lot to consider when choosing the best laptop especially when it’s for working at home. You’re looking for a laptop that’s reliable, robust, fast and - perhaps not an essential – but lightweight, for transporting to all those coffee shop work sessions.

The non-negotiable specifications to keep in mind when purchasing a laptop for remote working are:

• Long battery life (just in case you can’t get the seat next to the socket at your regular coffee shop…oh and so you don’t have to be running around to find the plug mid video call.)
• 8GB of RAM. Laptop memory is crucial.
• A solid hard drive. Crashing laptops can stall a good day’s work.
• Good screen resolution. (Completely up to you if you want to see you boss in high resolution, but we recommend it for seeing your docs and designs)
• The right laptop ports for your specific needs, such as USB and HDMI.
