The best long battery life laptops: top picks for all-day computing

Our pick of the top laptops with large batteries


If you're looking to buy a new laptop, the battery life is likely going to be a big deciding factor on what notebook you go for. No one wants their laptop to suddenly shut down while they are in the middle of working, so we've put together this list of the best laptops for all-day computing.

The laptops in this list have large enough batteries that will last you the whole work day - and beyond. Laptops with batteries that last a full 24 hours are still some way off, but the laptops we have here will at least ensure you can go at least 8 hours on one charge.

Thanks to improvements in energy efficiency of components, modern laptops can still be mighty powerful while also boasting large batteries, so you don't have to sacrifice speed for longer times between charges.

It comes with a gorgeous 13-inch Retina screen, a thin and light design, and the innovative Touch Bar. This is 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.

(+)Excellent lightweight design
(+)Incredible battery life
(-)Pricey
(-)Speakers are a bit tinny

The LG Gram shows that LG can turn its hand at making gorgeously-designed laptops, with an incredibly thin and light machine that packs some brilliant components and features into its thin frame. Even though it is thin and light, it's also incredibly robust and will withstand a lot of punishment. The screen is fantastic, but it's the battery life that's the real star here, with a promised 22.5-hour battery.

  2. Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
