Consider a Chromebook. Google rolled out <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/chromebooks\/chromebook-plus\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/chromebooks\/chromebook-plus\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/chromebooks\/chromebook-plus\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a big upgrade called Chromebook Plus<\/a> in 2023. The \u201cPlus\u201d stands for better performance\u2014faster processors, more memory, more storage, and better video cameras. Our favorite of the models we&#8217;ve tried is Lenovo&#8217;s Flex 5i Chromebook Plus (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/lenovo-flex-5i-chromebook-plus\/\">8\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>). It&#8217;s among the fastest Chromebooks we&#8217;ve tested for the money. It features a 3.75-GHz Intel Core i3-1315U CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of flash storage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Dell&#8217;s two larger XPS laptops (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/dell-xps-14-and-6\/\">7\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>) are aimed at Windows users with Macbook jealousy. The design, specs, and sizes align perfectly with Apple&#8217;s offerings. The XPS 14 has a gorgeous, sleek design (though it&#8217;s thicker than a MacBook), a wonderfully bright and sharp OLED screen (with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/high-refresh-rate-explained\/\">120-Hz screen refresh rates<\/a>), and is plenty speedy for everyday tasks. Unfortunately, heavy-duty tasks like video editing, well, the MacBook&#8217;s benchmarks run circles around the XPS 14. Still, with this deal, this is a serious piece of hardware for not a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Dell recently updated its XPS 13 line with Qualcomm Snapdragon chips to make it that sweet, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/what-is-copilot-plus-pc\/\">sweet Copilot+ PC<\/a>. This deal features the Snapdragon X Elite, which is the fastest of the two options. I&#8217;ve been testing this one for a couple of months and have been very impressed with how smoothly Windows works on a new architecture. It&#8217;s been plenty speedy, and the battery life is outstanding\u2014about 14 hours in my testing\u2014though not quite as impressive as some other Snapdragon-equipped machines we&#8217;ve tested. If you want an Intel XPS 13, those are on sale as well.

With its slightly oddball 15.3-inch screen, it hits its high points and is hard to argue with at this price, though the fan is loud and the system may weigh you down more than you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">There&#8217;s much to love about Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Book4 Ultra (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/samsung-galaxy-book4-ultra\/\">7\/10, WIRED Review<\/a>), but let&#8217;s be honest, that sticker price is insane. This deal brings it down somewhat, though it&#8217;s still pricey. You get impressive hardware\u2014the new Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, the current top-of-the-line processor in Intel\u2019s Core Ultra CPU lineup, along with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card. The 16-inch AMOLED 2,880 X 1,800-pixel touchscreen is magnificent to work on and performance blew everything else we&#8217;ve tested out of the water at this price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Swift Go offers outstanding performance for the price (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/acer-swift-go-14-2024\/\">7\/10, WIRED Review<\/a>). It also boasts an impressive 15-hour battery life. The downside is the speakers, which aren&#8217;t great, and overall the body feels a little plasticky. But this is the least expensive Intel Core Ultra laptop we&#8217;ve tested by a few dollars, so if your budget is tight, the Swift Go is worth considering.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"W white laptop fully opened sitting on a wooden desk\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a408fe08768a4390ecf556\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-Plus-CX34-Front-Full-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a408fe08768a4390ecf556\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-Plus-CX34-Front-Full-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a408fe08768a4390ecf556\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-Plus-CX34-Front-Full-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a408fe08768a4390ecf556\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-Plus-CX34-Front-Full-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a408fe08768a4390ecf556\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-Plus-CX34-Front-Full-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a408fe08768a4390ecf556\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-Plus-CX34-Front-Full-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a408fe08768a4390ecf556\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-Plus-CX34-Front-Full-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a408fe08768a4390ecf556\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-Plus-CX34-Front-Full-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE fJvQtP caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI dDrfgT asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionText-bHjzlu iUEiRd kVUvEC iXWezO caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>Asus Chromebook Plus CX34<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Daniel Thorp-Lancaster<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/asus-chromebook-plus-cx34\/\">7\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>) is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-cheap-laptops\/#66a14a1fa6d81ad0dbae804c\">best-looking Chromebook<\/a> you can buy. The beautiful white design stands out in a sea of gray slabs. The Core i5 CPU offers plenty of performance and can easily handle multiple tabs and app juggling. The webcam is nice too, much crisper than you\u2019d expect for a sub-$500 laptop. The downside is there&#8217;s no backlit keyboard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The 13-inch Surface Laptop (7th Edition) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/microsoft-surface-laptop-7th-edition-2024\/\">7\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>) is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor. Performance was good in our testing. It did not bog down no matter how many windows, tabs, and apps we threw at it. That said, this is not a machine for graphics-intensive tasks, like video editing or gaming (which is a shame because the vivid sharp screen with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/high-refresh-rate-explained\/\">120-Hz screen refresh rate<\/a> would be great for gaming).

The design doesn&#8217;t scream \u201cgaming rig\u201d making it a good choice for those who also have work to do. This deal comes with an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, 16 gigabytes of RAM, a 1-terabyte SSD, and a 16&#8243; non-touch QHD+ screen (2,560 X 1,600).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">There&#8217;s no such thing as a cheap powerful gaming laptop. The Blade line has long eschewed cheap in favor of powerful, and this 16-inch rig is no exception. We&#8217;ve tested and loved the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/razer-blade-18-2024\/\">18-inch Blade<\/a> (the most powerful and most expensive), and the 14-inch Blade, which is our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-gaming-laptops\/#65112f4e54c9c373831d7ab1\">top pick gaming laptop<\/a>. This model sits between those two, with a little more power the the 14 (and a bigger screen), without the $4,500 price of the Blade 18. You get an Intel i9 (14900HX), Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, 32 GB of RAM, and a 1-TB SSD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">System76&#8217;s Lemur Pro (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/system-76-lemur-pro-laptop\">9\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>) is our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/best-linux-laptops\/\">Linux laptop<\/a>. It&#8217;s thin and lightweight and it&#8217;s a great alternative for those who aren&#8217;t into Windows 11.

It pairs a powerful M3 chip with a nice, bright, sharp 13.6-inch LCD screen, a 1080p webcam, two USB 4\/Thunderbolt ports, and a 3.5-mm headphone jack. The M3 chip gives the Air quite the performance boost over the older M1 version. In our testing, it was able to handle everyday tasks, like web browsing, checking email, and watching videos with ease, and even handles slightly more intensive tasks like photo or video editing without breaking a sweat. If you&#8217;re looking for a mobile video editing workstation, you&#8217;re better off with the MacBook Pro below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">If you want a MacBook that can handle even more workloads, this is the deal for you. This model also has more ports. There are three USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4, an HDMI port, an SD card slot (bless you Apple, may every PC copy this move), a fancy high-impedance headphone jack, and a MagSafe charging port. The base model has 16 gigabytes of memory and the base M4 chip can handle most general tasks but video editors and anyone using more CPU- and GPU-demanding apps will want to look at the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/apple-macbook-pro-14-inch-apple-m4-pro-chip-built-for-apple-intelligence-24gb-memory-512gb-ssd-silver\/6602745.p?skuId=6602745\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/nntVzjQ3JMLounNPYNrETBFpnx1VA7KTTdFY2v3FEq9o5tvzKhipnnpZJGT8FywewFEm4HmRgWmZk7eAcXwgD2DPf6Rpbd8ko1oEymh2o1wcVCQAjrMNNg3Bvz9NqMF2k4EHZrYkunmVmvVkQC157XvFDh8kLQABdcxGn2UmoY7SQX8hzVQdfgTnwE2vZs5PKtMzSybNF1CxhPQAbqBXGTtkDLxusGHNQMraPgMRZk5BePYMncHtfGbE7Ghk6fSPJyvysBefnhiph9fuZW89siQ919oMqbfBzYJBtzSG&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/nntVzjQ3JMLounNPYNrETBFpnx1VA7KTTdFY2v3FEq9o5tvzKhipnnpZJGT8FywewFEm4HmRgWmZk7eAcXwgD2DPf6Rpbd8ko1oEymh2o1wcVCQAjrMNNg3Bvz9NqMF2k4EHZrYkunmVmvVkQC157XvFDh8kLQABdcxGn2UmoY7SQX8hzVQdfgTnwE2vZs5PKtMzSybNF1CxhPQAbqBXGTtkDLxusGHNQMraPgMRZk5BePYMncHtfGbE7Ghk6fSPJyvysBefnhiph9fuZW89siQ919oMqbfBzYJBtzSG\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">M4 Pro for $1,899 ($100 off)<\/a> or the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/apple-macbook-pro-14-inch-apple-m4-max-chip-built-for-apple-intelligence-36gb-memory-1tb-ssd-space-black\/6602750.p?skuId=6602750\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/2AtUUZ8dMcfSbow8fmgT3whSfTw4vm89UoHxPwpBeNArwEVfQ5YVEpekqVxvNXdBhBVVCiphgbCaycvWBK4jeyuGBrvv2nEfqi59M1y64seuGob3Auh7XjQRvQva6cL6KbfN85D3ygZQhSWcvr745B9Lz29jeKkRLk7wvp6YytcZakqT6pQdJgH8hkKphLDEuEo4MEdGmjb652Kzym6oE4S2dK8MiRZztmFUrWR5La8rS5ZQurbdru7KhUF7Wu1awBzoUFvVuF8QrqRY5NNC35kSyy219KG7jUyd1y9FxMHfA&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/2AtUUZ8dMcfSbow8fmgT3whSfTw4vm89UoHxPwpBeNArwEVfQ5YVEpekqVxvNXdBhBVVCiphgbCaycvWBK4jeyuGBrvv2nEfqi59M1y64seuGob3Auh7XjQRvQva6cL6KbfN85D3ygZQhSWcvr745B9Lz29jeKkRLk7wvp6YytcZakqT6pQdJgH8hkKphLDEuEo4MEdGmjb652Kzym6oE4S2dK8MiRZztmFUrWR5La8rS5ZQurbdru7KhUF7Wu1awBzoUFvVuF8QrqRY5NNC35kSyy219KG7jUyd1y9FxMHfA\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">M4 Max for $2,899 ($300 off)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The 15-inch MacBook Air (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/apple-macbook-air-15-inch-2023\/\">8\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>) is a great choice if you want a lightweight laptop with a large screen.

But its high price, especially paired with the Productivity Bundle, put us off. Now that its price is well below $200, it&#8217;s a much better value. Like all Fire tablets, it&#8217;s ideal if you&#8217;re all in on Amazon&#8217;s content and services.

Parental controls on Amazon&#8217;s tablets are limited but offer some control over content (see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/how-to-control-amazon-kids\/\">guide<\/a> for more details).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Combo Touch is a great way to get work done on an iPad; it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-ipad-accessories\/#5fdb129aeba6173a92c6076f\">the best keyboard case<\/a> for your iPad. The back has a nice kickstand that can prop up your iPad at just about any angle and does a good job of protecting the back from scratches. The keyboard, while not as nice as a \u201creal\u201d keyboard is pretty dang good. I can type just as fast on this as I can on my laptop. Combo Touch cases connect using Apple\u2019s Smart Connector so you don\u2019t have to worry about draining the battery by having Bluetooth on all the time. There are models available for the base iPad (7th, 8th, and 9th Gen) along with the iPad Air (5th Gen and M2) and 11-inch iPad Pro (1st Gen and newer), 12.9-inch iPad Pro (5th and 6th Gen), as well as the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pros.<\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"paywall\">Chargers and Accessories<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Satechi 165W 4 Port Charger\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6387e4f786feb9233287b6e8\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Satechi-165W-4%2520Port-Charger-SOURCE-Satechi-Gear.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6387e4f786feb9233287b6e8\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Satechi-165W-4%20Port-Charger-SOURCE-Satechi-Gear.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6387e4f786feb9233287b6e8\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Satechi-165W-4%20Port-Charger-SOURCE-Satechi-Gear.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6387e4f786feb9233287b6e8\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Satechi-165W-4%20Port-Charger-SOURCE-Satechi-Gear.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6387e4f786feb9233287b6e8\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Satechi-165W-4%20Port-Charger-SOURCE-Satechi-Gear.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6387e4f786feb9233287b6e8\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Satechi-165W-4%20Port-Charger-SOURCE-Satechi-Gear.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6387e4f786feb9233287b6e8\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Satechi-165W-4%20Port-Charger-SOURCE-Satechi-Gear.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6387e4f786feb9233287b6e8\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Satechi-165W-4%20Port-Charger-SOURCE-Satechi-Gear.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Satechi<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This handy charger has enough power to juice up two MacBook Pro models simultaneously. But it&#8217;s also great if you have a lot of devices around your desk that constantly need to be charged. It has a little stand to prop it up, a short cord that goes out to an outlet, and four USB-C ports that output 100 watts each. This is the lowest price we&#8217;ve tracked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">A 25,000-mAh battery pack that&#8217;s surprisingly compact is a rarity, and this one also packs two USB-C ports, one USB-A, and the ability to draw 145 watts while charging. That means one USB-C port can dish out 100 watts, enough to fast charge a laptop, while the other puts out 45 watts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This charger packs two USB-C ports, one of which can output 65 watts when used alone. If you plug two devices in, the top will deliver 45 watts and the bottom can do 20 watts. It also folds up and looks super sleek.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Twelve South StayGo Mini USBC Hub\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/618f07db5912caeff6aa6174\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Gear-TwelveSouth-StayGo-Mini-USB-C-Hub.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/618f07db5912caeff6aa6174\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Gear-TwelveSouth-StayGo-Mini-USB-C-Hub.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/618f07db5912caeff6aa6174\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Gear-TwelveSouth-StayGo-Mini-USB-C-Hub.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/618f07db5912caeff6aa6174\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Gear-TwelveSouth-StayGo-Mini-USB-C-Hub.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/618f07db5912caeff6aa6174\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Gear-TwelveSouth-StayGo-Mini-USB-C-Hub.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/618f07db5912caeff6aa6174\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Gear-TwelveSouth-StayGo-Mini-USB-C-Hub.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/618f07db5912caeff6aa6174\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Gear-TwelveSouth-StayGo-Mini-USB-C-Hub.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/618f07db5912caeff6aa6174\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Gear-TwelveSouth-StayGo-Mini-USB-C-Hub.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Twelve South<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">We&#8217;ve used this hub\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-ipad-accessories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with iPads<\/a>, but it&#8217;s also great for MacBooks.

They&#8217;re reasonably priced (for a portable SSD) and speedy enough for most uses. The X6 is lightweight and tiny, making it a good choice for working at the coffee shop. The downside is that this isn&#8217;t a blinding-fast hard disk. In fact, under the hood, the X6 uses an older drive interface (Serial AT Attachment, or <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SATA\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SATA&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SATA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SATA<\/a>), which was more common with spinning hard drives. So while it&#8217;s small and light, its speed is limited by that older interface technology. In my testing on Windows and macOS, that works out to about 550 Mbps read speed and 208 Mbps write speed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Samsung&#8217;s rugged, padding T7 drive has an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ip-ratings-explained\/\">IP65 rating<\/a>, which means it&#8217;s fine in the rain and is protected from dust and sand. The T7 line is notable for its built-in security features like hardware-based encryption, but unlike the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Touch-Portable-SSD-MU-PC1T0K\/dp\/B082YGLNGR\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/HR4R9gBZvZ4obDF31Qdjn8jytFFQfWs2sztugJ47bELcE3z6Jx67NWJkpnsS3dMFAgVjRiD5GCvGJNnXivxxgr5MU9AernZHZaC2GbEKFTeFPvqYY3F5Xw2tyFscSWPePbzefLhzva8zrE5Lvvfah6nkvyW8johvK34Ta5qc9bGqscxX3KqLWeHy8jH&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/HR4R9gBZvZ4obDF31Qdjn8jytFFQfWs2sztugJ47bELcE3z6Jx67NWJkpnsS3dMFAgVjRiD5GCvGJNnXivxxgr5MU9AernZHZaC2GbEKFTeFPvqYY3F5Xw2tyFscSWPePbzefLhzva8zrE5Lvvfah6nkvyW8johvK34Ta5qc9bGqscxX3KqLWeHy8jH\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Touch model<\/a>, the Shield does not have a fingerprint reader.

This deal makes it more tempting though, especially if you take our advice to make backups on a variety of drives from a variety of manufacturers (to minimize the chances that two backups fail simultaneously). The T7 isn&#8217;t as fast as the Shield version above, which I&#8217;d recommend over this, but if you&#8217;re on a tight budget, this drive will get the job done.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Keychron Q1 Pro keyboard\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/65832aa73274c86e90f2913c\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Keychron-Q1-Pro-Keyboard-Gear.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/65832aa73274c86e90f2913c\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Keychron-Q1-Pro-Keyboard-Gear.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/65832aa73274c86e90f2913c\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Keychron-Q1-Pro-Keyboard-Gear.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/65832aa73274c86e90f2913c\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Keychron-Q1-Pro-Keyboard-Gear.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/65832aa73274c86e90f2913c\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Keychron-Q1-Pro-Keyboard-Gear.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/65832aa73274c86e90f2913c\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Keychron-Q1-Pro-Keyboard-Gear.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/65832aa73274c86e90f2913c\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Keychron-Q1-Pro-Keyboard-Gear.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/65832aa73274c86e90f2913c\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Keychron-Q1-Pro-Keyboard-Gear.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE fJvQtP caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI dDrfgT asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionText-bHjzlu iUEiRd kVUvEC iXWezO caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>Keychron Q1 Pro<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Amazon<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This was WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu&#8217;s daily keyboard for almost a year.

This version is for a 16-inch laptop (you can also fit a 15-inch laptop, leaving extra room for a keyboard and mouse), but there&#8217;s a <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.baggu.com\/products\/puffy-laptop-sleeve-13-strawberry?utm_source=pepperjam\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/Jy3CeSzU3u3mBy1gLNuwrPi7dNxPnEjHdD4WGJdJHTwdqsffBBMqmjURpbnCwteqj16qHKqVxG5pshZoY78iyyfSyrLiRgHRtcU4aww2fEm6GDGdFdJorCQNUa52hHgxHDC4VS43QMVrqev5UAV1osM19CouoiZ6LAThZ1aqS6NxDiURnbkYC6tkkvUZ2MUJxzz1gQmj5v&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/Jy3CeSzU3u3mBy1gLNuwrPi7dNxPnEjHdD4WGJdJHTwdqsffBBMqmjURpbnCwteqj16qHKqVxG5pshZoY78iyyfSyrLiRgHRtcU4aww2fEm6GDGdFdJorCQNUa52hHgxHDC4VS43QMVrqev5UAV1osM19CouoiZ6LAThZ1aqS6NxDiURnbkYC6tkkvUZ2MUJxzz1gQmj5v\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sleeve for 13-inch and 14-inch<\/a> laptops as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Moft&#8217;s laptop sleeve also doubles as a laptop stand. You can choose between two different heights, both of which are super comfortable to work off of, and there&#8217;s also a built-in pocket to store things like your earbuds or a charger. If you&#8217;re using the 16-inch size, it&#8217;s worth noting it is on the larger side, so it might not be very easy to fit into backpacks. But it&#8217;s easy to fit into tote bags.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/best-cyber-monday-laptop-deals-2024\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the best time of the year to buy a new laptop.
