Sometimes you just want the most luxurious premium laptop that money can buy. These are the ones you just can’t beat.

Laptops may be practical tools for work and play, but like any electronics device, they can also exude that luxury feel. The kind that makes you think, “Ooh. Yeah, that’s nice.”

They don’t have to—and they often don’t—but if you’re willing to pay a little extra for the privilege, there are several high-class laptops that can deliver such luxury vibes… and a bit of premium quality will take any laptop from useful device to one that’s a true pleasure to use.

Here are some of the most gorgeous, most stylish, and most luxurious laptops of 2024 that’ll make your eyes sparkle.

HP Spectre Fold

Ushering in a foldable future

When we got our hands on the HP Spectre Fold at the start of this year, it turned more than a few heads. The folding design is ingenious, making it possible to use the laptop in ways that you just couldn’t with a more traditional design. Even 2-in-1s feel limited by comparison.

The OLED display is stunning to look at, and despite the keyboard’s super-slim profile, it still has travel and feels good to type on. The touchpad isn’t bad, either.

Its shocking price is a high barrier for entry, but if you’re looking for a laptop that just feels like the future, the HP Spectre Fold is it.

Dell XPS 14

A premium worth paying

Dell’s XPS range of laptops have always been aimed at a more luxury-oriented audience, but not all of its latest models have been worth the cost. With the Dell XPS 14, though? The argument is there.

It offers great performance, extensive battery life, and a bright and vibrant OLED touchscreen. Its slim, lightweight design feels modern and elegant, giving off the same vibes of XPS Plus laptops from a generation ago but without the added moniker.

It does come at a steep cost that makes it less of a bang-for-your-buck kind of buy, but if you’re in for a luxurious looking and feeling laptop, you can’t go wrong with the Dell XPS 14.

Lenovo Yoga Book 9i

A multi-monitor solution on the go

Who said a portable laptop has to have a small screen? Or even a single screen? The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a brilliantly designed laptop that gives you a pair of 13.3-inch touchscreens at near 3K resolution with HDR. They’re OLED, too, so they have inky blacks and bright, vibrant colors.

This is the kind of laptop that’s perfect for photo editing while traveling or mastering video with the second screen there to help expand your timeline for added room and functionality.

It has strong battery life, above average performance, and is just stunning to look at. It has a compact design despite the bonkers amount of screen space in such a lightweight chassis, and it’s so much more convenient than carrying a portable monitor with your standard laptop.

Framework Laptop 16

One for us nerds

Do you love digging into the latest PC hardware? I do, which is why I build and configure desktop computers for work and for fun. You can’t usually do that with a laptop, but with the Framework Laptop 16, you can.

This is one laptop that’s easy to customize, upgrade, and repair yourself, all thanks to its smart modular design. It can deliver fantastic performance if you configure it that way, and its battery life is strong despite its power.

The display isn’t quite as impressive as some OLED designs, but this is the only laptop you can take apart and configure like this. It’s not just a cool feature—this is only laptop where this is even a feature. It’s the very definition of exclusive, premium luxury.

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra

Stunning with top-notch performance

Samsung threw its hat in the luxury ring with the latest edition of its Galaxy Book4 Ultra, a stunning laptop with incredible performance, top-tier features, and some of the longest battery life in a Windows laptop we’ve ever seen.

It lasted close to 20 hours in our testing and recharges super fast, too. It has impressive audio, a gorgeous OLED screen, and it has a powerful graphics chip that offers a stellar gaming experience.

This is a laptop that’s truly luxurious all around. You don’t need to miss out on battery life, performance, connectivity, or features. It’s a do-it-all laptop that’s well worth it—if you can afford it.

HP Dragonfly G4

A traveling professional’s dream laptop

When you think of professional laptops meant for traveling businesspeople, the word “luxury” might be far from your mind. But it doesn’t have to be.

The HP Dragonfly G4 is a sizzling-hot laptop that ticks so many boxes. If it weren’t for its high price tag, it would have a real shot competing with some of our favorite consumer-focused laptops.

This one offers outstanding battery life at close to 18 hours in our testing, yet weighs a svelte 2.6 pounds, making it easy to carry around all day. It also has Thunderbolt 4 connections, Wi-Fi 6E, and a 5G module so you can connect over cellular data.

OK, so its 1080p display isn’t quite so luxurious, but this is a work machine. You shouldn’t be watching UHD movies on it anyway! When you’re working, though, you’ll feel the difference—especially the comfortable keyboard that’s functional and fast to type on.

Asus Zenbook Duo 2024

Double up for added productivity

The Asus Zenbook Duo is a model laptop that has really stood out over the last several years. With its dual-OLED displays, it offers more screen space than most other laptops—and the 2024 edition is no different.

It looks absolutely gorgeous and has loads of extra screen space for work and play, with the option of touchscreen controls making it easier to interact with your favorite apps and get stuff done.

Despite its impressive display, the Zenbook Duo doesn’t sacrifice battery life or performance, so you get a truly premium device in every sense of the word. And it’s a head-turner, for sure!

Apple MacBook Pro M3

Apple’s most impressive design yet

Apple’s MacBook Pro M3 is the latest and greatest of their MacBook range, offering fantastic performance and battery life in a sturdy, well-built chassis, complete with a gorgeous display.

The keyboard is excellent (which still feels like a treat considering Apple’s pedigree in that space) and it supports some of the latest connectivity technologies, including Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Thunderbolt 4.

While the base model’s performance isn’t anything to write home about, the M3 Pro and M3 Max models are stupendously fast and can have a staggering amount of memory—up to 128GB. That makes it an absolute productivity powerhouse while looking like a thin and light ultrabook.

Its price is high if you load it up with tons of storage space, but for the laptop owner who wants it all, the MacBook Pro M3 is the one.
