The future of data speed is getting faster and faster, with 5G set to become the new standard for faster connectivity. If you’re someone who’s looking to be on the cutting edge of technology, you’ll need to get yourself a 5G laptop. We’ve picked out our top 3 picks for those who want to stay ahead of the pack!
Lenovo ThinkPad X13 5G
This is a no-nonsense 5G laptop that makes a great buy. This device offers a capable Core i5 CPU, 16GB memory, and 256GB SSD in a stylish 13.3-inch form factor. It has an excellent keyboard and plenty of ports. The build quality is second to none, battery life is very good (16 hours), and it weighs in at just 2.7 pounds. It’s a 5G option for on-the-go professionals without much to carry around. The only downside is that it is priced at over $1,000.
Samsung Galaxy Book Go 5G
If you’re looking for the most affordable 5G laptop, Samsung’s Galaxy Book Go is it. Despite its low price (less than $600), it still offers good performance and great battery life thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 chip. The 14-inch display does offer full HD (1,920×1,080) resolution and should provide extra durability thanks to its shockproof chassis. While you’ll miss out on powerful performance (4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage), you’ll benefit from one of the best battery lives we’ve seen (18 hours) in a laptop.
Acer Spin 7
The Spin 7 strengthens a trend we’ve already been seeing with Windows laptops: 2-in-1 convertibles that push the boundaries of what’s possible in hardware. This 5G device can be used in four modes: laptop mode, tablet mode, tent mode, and handheld mode. The Spin 7’s 14-inch touch display is surprisingly bright and crisp — it makes using apps as simple as looking up recipes on your phone with ease. The Spin 7 comes with double the RAM of the Galaxy Book Go (16GB versus 8GB) along with more storage (512GB versus 256GB). The larger battery gives it an astounding claim of 29 hours between charges. However, it’s important to note that the Spin 7 is not inexpensive — it costs about $1,600.
