Our best Windows 11 laptops of 2026: We’ve tested dozens of laptops, but these were the models that impressed us the most
We test a lot of laptops every year at TechRadar and I’ve rounded up all the Windows 11 laptops we’ve reviewed this year so far that really impressed us.
Each of the laptops below, many of them top candidates for our best Windows laptop guide, has gone through our rigorous testing and earned four or more stars out of five. You can tap the View Details button on the product card to see a summary of the main pros and cons of that model, along with a link to read the full, in-depth review.
There are options for a variety of priorities and budgets. For example, we declared the moderately priced HP OmniBook 7 Aero to be “ideal for those working on the go,” thanks to its solid performance combined with a slim build equipped with plenty of ports. For those with higher demands and deeper pockets, the Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra is worth a look: our tester called it “a gorgeously designed thin and light laptop with a stunning display and some of the most powerful components you can buy right now,” and called it a potential MacBook killer.
So, read on for my roundup of our favorite Windows 11 laptops we’ve tested so far in 2026. If you’re looking to upgrade your machine, perhaps during the not-too-distant Black Friday sales? – this is a great place to start. Note: You will only be able to view product cards for laptops available in your region.
