With a larger display, longer battery life and stronger performance, the new Asus Chromebook Flip C434 is one of the best Chromebooks we've ever tested. It could easily be mistaken for one of Asus' pricier notebooks with its 2-in-1 matte-silver aluminum finish with chrome trim. The Chromebook Flip C434's 1080p panel that is both vivid and bright.

Thanks to its Intel Core m3-8100Y processor, it's a reliable multitasker when combined with ChromeOS. And with ChromeOS' ability to work with Android apps, the laptop gains a lot more versatility. The Chromebook Flip C434 lasted 9 hours and 58 minutes of battery life, this laptop can transition from work to play with ease. It's a notable improvement over its predecessor with its larger display, great audio and solid performance. It's a great choice for those looking to make the leap to Chrome OS. 

The new HP Envy 13 isn't just one of the best laptops around; it's also a great deal. The latest version gets you an attractive, slim chassis, great performance and powerful speakers. New to the latest Envy are a fingerprint sensor and a webcam kill switch for those who value their privacy.  The 1080p model of the Envy 13 also gets 11+ hours of battery life while both the FHD and 4K display options are bright and vivid. 

It's a solid performer thanks to its 8th Gen Intel processor and has a fast SSD. And if you get the 4K version, it has a discrete graphics card for a bit more graphical oomph. So unless you need a Thunderbolt 3 port (see Spectre x360), the Envy 13 should be at the top of your buying list. It's cemented its standing as a top-rated laptop for college students or travelers.

Asus is stepping up its game when it comes to gaming laptops. Case in point, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. Powered by AMD's new powerful Ryzen 9-4900HS processor, the laptop is a powerful multitasker. But paired with an Nvidia RTX 2060 Max-Q GPU, the laptop is a forced to be reckoned with on the gaming front. Top that off with a lightning-fast SSD, a bright, 14-inch, 120Hz display, a comfortable keyboard and strong speakers packed into a gorgeous milky-white magnesium alloy chassis, and the ROG Zephyrus G14 is a near-perfect gaming laptop.

But where the Zephyrus G14 really shines is its battery life. The top-rated laptop lasted 11 hours and 32 minutes on our Laptop Mag Battery test, making it the longest-lasting gaming laptop ever. It's nearly three times as long as the 4:26 mainstream gaming laptop average. Ultimately, between its killer AMD performance and epic battery life, the Zephyrus G14 is the gaming laptop to beat.
