The 17 best laptops you can buy today

Our last buyer's guide update had a pretty solid list of laptops, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? We do have a couple of new additions to spice things up, however. We felt compelled to add the agile ASUS Chromebook Flip, which serves up a 360-degree rotatable touchscreen and killer battery life. For PC gaming, MSI's power-packed GT80 Titan is definitely worth a look. It offers top-of-the-range graphics and processing options, along with a large display and full mechanical keyboard. There are plenty of great choices out there right now, so if you're in the market for a laptop or thinking of an upgrade, it's worth taking a spin through the gallery below. Feel free to swing by our complete buyer's guide, too, for a rundown on some of the best gadgets across the board.

ASUS Chromebook Flip

The market may be swimming with Chromebooks, but the latest from ASUS manages to stand out. It's a bit smaller than most options, with a 10-inch screen and weighing under two pounds, and offers a 360-degree rotatable touchscreen. Even though the keyboard is a bit small, it still has a great build and exceptional battery life (around 10.5 hours in our tests). The baseline model is a good deal, but it's worth considering the $279 model for four gigs of RAM instead of just two.

Price: $229+
