Most power laptop users want devices with outstanding designs and high-powered processors. They’re also looking for plenty of RAM and storage, and a graphics card that allows them to work with video, play video games, and more. Some other extras, like customizable keyboard features and biometric components, are also especially desirable.
But most power users already know what they want in a machine. And they really need help finding the best options to boost their productivity. So read on for a look at five machines designed specifically for those who want the best and most powerful laptops on the market.
