Powered by the 7th generation Intel Core processors, this particular SKU has a 14-inch FHD anti-glare display, powered by a discrete Nvidia
While a discrete graphics card may be a bit overkill for writers, it means you've got a fast performing machine that can also handle the odd
game when you need a break.Equipped with a spill resistant keyboard, a TrackPoint and a 3+2 buttons click pad, the E470 has more than enough
ports and expansion capabilities to keep the average user happy
Shame that it doesn't do DisplayPort, so no 4K output.2

can be used as a word processor, and you of course also have the Chrome browser for research
The Chromebook Flip is the best Chromebook out there at the moment, offering truly premium build quality, a fabulous touchscreen and
keyboard and excellent performance
All while offering great value for money too. Read the full review:Asus Chromebook Flip C302See more like this: The best Chromebooks 20174

underpoweredIf you're after a cheap laptop for writing that offers something a bit special, look no further than the Lenovo Yoga Book 2017
As with all Yoga devices, the screen folds flat so you can use it either as a tablet or a laptop
To add more versatility, Lenovo has now added the option to buy it with either Windows 10 or Android 6.0 onboard - which one you choose will
depend how you're more likely to use the device
The screen on this thing defies the cheap asking price and the keyboard and capacitive touch-keyboard are both fantastic too
The built-in Wacom digitizer stylus allows you to hand-write notes on the touchscreen, and then save them to the web - or convert it into
text - which makes it the perfect device for quickly writing down notes when inspiration strikes.Read the full review:Lenovo Yoga BookSee

lifeKeyboard sold separatelyThe Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is 2017's best laptop for you if you're looking for the perfect cross between a
nimble Windows tablet and a fully functional laptop
The base version of the Surface Pro 4 is just a tablet - you get the main unit itself with kickstand but if you want the Surface Pen or the
fantastic Type Cover keyboard you'll need to pay extra for a bundle or buy it separately
Again, this is a great laptop for writers who can use a stylus to jot down their notes to later turn into editable text
If you are buying the Surface Pro 4 as a device to use as a writer, then we strongly recommend buying the Type Cover keyboard, which adds a
comfortable to use keyboard that also doubles as a protective cover for the screen.Read the full review:Microsoft Surface Pro 4See more like

HP 255 G5A reliable workhorse that won't break the bank CPU: AMD A6-7310 | Graphics: AMD Radeon R4 | RAM: 4GB | Screen: 15.6-inch, 1366 x
768 pixels | Storage: 1TB HDD3 year Next business day onsite warrantyVery affordable priceLow resolutionBloatwareThe 255 G5 is HP's
entry-level business laptop and is a solid candidate should you be looking for a straightforward, reliable, workhorse at a bargain price
It's a great laptop for writers, as it has solid (if unspectacular) specifications, while keeping the price at a reasonable level
If you want a similar laptop with an Intel processor, rather than AMD, then the HP 250 G5 is worth looking into
There are various configurations of both the HP 255 G5 and the HP 250 G5, so it's worth shopping around and finding one with the right
components for your needs.7
Apple Macbook Pro with touchbarThe best Macbook Pro ever, now with touchbarCPU: Dual-core Intel Core i5 – i7 | Graphics: Intel Iris Plus
Graphics 640 – 650 | RAM: 8GB – 16GB | Screen: 13.3-inch, (2,560 x 1,600) IPS | Storage: 256GB – 1TB PCIe 3.0 SSDThe best Macbook Pro
everSuper fast performanceExpensiveDisappointing battery lifeIf you're after the latest and greatest laptop from Apple, welcome to the
13-inch Macbook Pro with touchbar
It's the best laptop Apple has ever made, and builds new features into the classic design
Of course the headline feature is the touchbar - it's a thin OLED display at the top of the keyboard which can be used for any number of
things, whether that be auto-suggesting words as you type or offering Touch ID so you can log in with just your fingerprint
This makes it an excellent laptop for writers, and if you love Apple's way of doing things, then you'll love the Macbook Pro with touchbar
The reason why it isn't higher in our list of best laptops for writers is the price: this is an incredibly expensive laptop, and if you're
just using it for writing, then there are plenty of much cheaper alternatives
However, if you're an Apple fan that wants a machine for performing more complex tasks, as well as writing, then there really is no other
choice.Read the full review:Apple Macbook with touchbar (2017)See more like this: The best Macs and Macbooks 20178

qualityGreat screenSuperb valueGood battery lifeIf you want the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 but you want to spend a lot less, the Acer Switch 3
2017 is definitely the your best option
It's designed around essentially the same concept as the Surface Pro and it's a less capable thanks to slightly lower power innards, but for
most tasks, especially writing, it's a brilliant little machine
What's more, to add further value this 2-in-1 laptop/tablet comes with the keyboard upgrade which means no little extras to pay for
As usual it comes in several different versions, with USB Type-C, 8GB RAM, an IPS display and Intel Core i3 7100U CPU coming with the more
expensive option.Read the full review:Acer Switch 3See more like this: The best 2-in-1 laptops 2017 9

it's only HD, and it will flip to become a tablet too
What's more, it'll run practically all day thanks to its excellent battery life
So if you're looking for a capable but very cheap laptop that you can whip out and begin writing on, then this one is your best bet.Read the
