Their main advantage lies in their compact design, which makes them easy to carry, and their <\/span><b>long\u2011lasting batteries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, enabling you to stay productive on the move.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2\u2011in\u20111 hybrid or convertible devices<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These machines offer dual functionality, combining the efficiency of a laptop with the flexibility of a touchscreen tablet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They come in two distinct forms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hinged models:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The screen is attached to the keyboard by a hinge that lets it rotate 360 degrees. They are popular with users of graphics applications who want a <\/span><b>comfortable typing experience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the ability to draw.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Detachable models:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Closer to a standard tablet, their keyboard can be removed completely. This design makes them easier to carry when you only need the touchscreen. Although ergonomics are very good, the experience in laptop mode is sometimes less stable than on foldable models.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gaming laptops<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gaming laptops used to be synonymous with heavy machines. Nowadays there are slimmer models, but they remain powerful enough for the heaviest workloads and, of course, gaming. Their main drawback is their <\/span><b>poor battery life<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as they are designed to be used close to a power source.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chromebooks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chromebooks, which run on ChromeOS, are the most affordable laptops on the market. They are compact and easy to carry, but they are <\/span><b>not designed for demanding applications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as video editing. Their strength lies in offering a large screen and keyboard for simple, online tasks similar to those you perform on a smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key question of how you will use it<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before making a purchase, it is crucial to determine the main purpose of the laptop. There is no point in spending a large sum (several thousand BGN) if you only plan to browse the web and use office applications. These needs can be met by a Chromebook or even a smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, if your professional activity is focused on <\/span><b>intensive graphics processing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or video editing, you must invest in a more expensive and more powerful ultrabook or hybrid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have put together a ranking of the five best laptops for professionals, with a particular focus on battery life. This list includes machines from all the categories mentioned. Bear in mind that the best models are also the most expensive, but reviewing them is essential if you want to make an informed choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top 5 professional laptops with excellent battery life<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple macbook pro (13-inch, m1)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple\u2019s new MacBook Pro quite logically takes first place. Putting any blind brand loyalty aside, it\u2019s clear that its <\/span><b>MacOS operating system is highly optimised for its components<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, delivering exceptional battery life of up to 20 hours of video playback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its look is classic Apple: clean and elegant. The company\u2019s 13\u2011inch Retina Display provides <\/span><b>striking image quality<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple has moved to its own eight\u2011core M1 processor, removing its dependence on Intel. This change has resulted in <\/span><b>excellent performance across all tasks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Battery life for web browsing has been measured at 16 hours and 32 minutes, the best figure the brand has ever recorded. The downside is the low number of ports, meaning you\u2019ll probably need to buy an adapter.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 80% 0 0 0; position: relative;\"> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1147656885?autoplay=1&amp;loop=1\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen> <\/iframe> <\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon (gen 9)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a cornerstone of business computing, with the Gen 6 model widely praised back in 2018. Lenovo continues to <\/span><b>develop and refine this range<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with notable improvements in every new generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The X1 Carbon features a high\u2011quality FHD display, a more powerful battery and an 11th\u2011generation Intel processor. What stands out is that it is <\/span><b>extremely light (1.130 kg) and thinner than many rivals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, yet still offers a full set of ports (USB Type\u2011A, Thunderbolt 4.0, HDMI 2.0), so there\u2019s no need to buy dongles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Battery life is such that it can <\/span><b>last a full working day<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without needing to be charged. LaptopMag\u2019s web\u2011browsing tests show 15 hours and 39 minutes. Its drawbacks are minor: an average\u2011quality webcam and the lack of an SD card reader.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dell latitude 9420 2-en-1<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This convertible takes third place. Its design is fairly classic, as Dell has prioritised <\/span><b>raw performance and efficiency<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> over eye\u2011catching looks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is light and compact. It uses the latest 11th\u2011generation Intel processor, which can handle heavy workloads. It also offers enough ports for most users. Its battery lasts 15 hours and 2 minutes, allowing you to <\/span><b>get through a full working day without plugging in<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The lack of an included stylus is disappointing given the price.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lenovo thinkpad x1 yoga (6th gen, 2021)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fourth place, the ThinkPad X1 Yoga (6th generation) is another 2\u2011in\u20111. It shares the 14\u2011inch screen, refined design and 11th\u2011generation Intel processor of the X1 Carbon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This model is <\/span><b>very easy to handle and extremely thin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which makes it ideal for graphics software. It comes with a stylus for basic editing, though design professionals will probably need a more advanced pen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite its slim profile, it provides a complete set of ports. Its battery life of 14 hours and 45 minutes is <\/span><b>well above the 10\u2011hour average<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for machines in this class.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HP pro c640 chrome enterprise<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Chromebook is an attractive entry\u2011level option for professionals who mainly browse the web or use office software. The design is understated. Despite being only 16.51 mm thick, it offers a <\/span><b>full range of ports<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The ChromeOS operating system is <\/span><b>smooth and light on resources<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its battery life of 11 hours and 7 minutes is <\/span><b>above the average (9 hours)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for its category. It is ideal for small businesses. Its shortcomings are a more limited display and fewer advanced features.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final decision\u2011making criteria<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make the right choice, you must first define how you will use the laptop. Battery life is a key criterion for mobile work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond battery life and your usage scenario, the <\/span><b>operating system is another crucial factor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Switching from MacOS to Windows (or vice versa) may require an adjustment period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, it is vital to <\/span><b>compare the price with the features offered<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A higher price often goes hand in hand with better quality and durability, which can make the investment worthwhile in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When buying a laptop for professional use, the criteria for assessing and choosing a model are specific and need to be considered carefully.
