The 13-inch Spectre x360 is just one of The Techy Trends’s favorite two-in-one convertibles because of its superior styling, light weight and extended battery life. The entry configuration of the customizable notebook comprises a 10th-gen Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, Intel Iris Plus images and that a 256GB solid-state drive. With a complete HD (1,920×1,080-pixel) resolution, the 14-inch touchscreen may rotate 360 levels into tablet mode. The $200 discount also applies in the event that you include updates, also I’d imply spending $70 to update to some 512GB SSD with 32GB of rapid Optane memory, which brings the total to $1,020.

I would not usually suggest a humongous, 17-inch notebook unless it is a gaming notebook, but these aren’t normal times. If you are working from home and intend to keep on doing so well into 2021, it may make sense to acquire a larger notebook which you may lug from the kitchen into your living space to your bedroom rather than commuting with it into and out of the office daily. The baseline arrangement of this Envy 17t-cg000 provides you a 10th-gen Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce MX330 images and a 512GB SSD with 32GB of rapid Intel Optane memory. The roomy 17.3-inch screen has a 1,920×1,080-pixel resolution and also you’ll be able to add touch assistance for no extra cost. The Envy 17t shouldn’t be confused with a gaming notebook, but the GeForce MX330 GPU should allow you to play demanding games in full resolution using some excellent settings enabled. Two updates of the customizable version are appealing: doubling the RAM for just $50 and obtaining a touch screen for $40.

HP’s premium thin-and-light is heavy on style and light . It boasts a all-metal layout and razor-thin bezels for a compact chassis that weighs over three pounds. You could save $100 with this version (13-ba0085nr) that includes a 10th-gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce MX350 images and a 512GB SSD. That’s sufficient muscle for networking editing along with the customary office chores. The 13.3-inch touchscreen features a 1,920×1,080-pixel resolution and can be graded for 400 nits of brightness.

Now, that really is a gaming notebook. HP’s Home 15t features an aggressive appearance and a vast assortment of configuration choices. The baseline configuration of the version (15t-dh100) includes a 10th-gen Core i7 CPU and GeForce GTX 1650 images, however you can upgrade to GeForce RTX 2060 images for $190 and get your $100 discount. The 2060 is the funding card in Nvidia’s RTX lineup but still offers ray tracing, which reproduces how light behaves the real world to give games a more photorealistic look. I’d also consider doubling the RAM from 8GB to 16GB for $90 and spending $100 to upgrade the display to a refresh rate of 144Hz. Those three upgrades will greatly aid performance and the system’s gaming capabilities and bring the total to a nevertheless reasonable $1,380.

HP’s 27-inch all-in-one boasts a crisp, 2K (2,256×1,504-pixel) display resolution and a modern design with razor-thin screen bezels. The baseline model features a 10th-gen Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. The one update I recommend for this customizable system is choosing a 128GB SSD as the primary drive, which doesn’t add to the cost, and then selecting a 1TB hard drive as the secondary storage drive for an additional $49. With this pair, you get the speed of an SSD along with the high capacity of the 1TB hard drive for a still reasonable price of $949.

HP’s 24-inch all-in-one PC gives you a choice of AMD or Intel processors and a black or white chassis.

The black model is in stock and features an Intel Core i5 chip but only 8GB of RAM. Both models have a 23.8-inch full HD screen, but only the AMD-based model offers touch support.
