If gaming laptops are out of your budget or you simply don't need one, fret not! Notebooks that are geared more towards productivity can still handle a few indie games between Excel spreadsheets, and the market has numerous models that feature modern-day conveniences with attractive designs and even a few exotic workplace ideas.
Surface Laptop Go
$550 (Was $700)
Microsoft's little productivity powerhouse, the Surface Go aims to provide utilitarian power with a sleek design.

Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 2-in-1
$1,350 (was $1,750)
A solid amount of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a lightweight design sounds more than acceptable for a laptop designed to help you get some work done, but Lenovo's party trick with the Yoga 9i isn't just an overpowered 14" 10-point multitouch screen with a 3840 x 2160 native resolution. This screen also has a 360° flip-and-fold design, which gives this device four productivity modes for you to choose between. That's a flexible amount of professional power, right there.
