Best Portable Travel Laptops (Late 2017)

Last Updated: September 2017

Portability, battery life, storage space and of course price are some of the key considerations when buying a travel laptop.

When it’s a device that will be with you on the road it’s important to consider raw specs like memory and processing power, but it’s equally important that your laptop is versatile and lightweight, easy to use, and that it can easily store everything you need (as WiFi or mobile data is never guaranteed, especially if you’re travelling abroad).

Smartphones and tablets may be convenient for basic uses, but ultimately you can’t beat having a fully capable computer with a larger screen, full keyboard, and more processing power. The following laptops are some of the current top picks for nomads, frequent travellers, or anyone else needing a good computer on the go. We’ll start with some budget options before getting to some higher-end laptops.
