Despite the growing use of mobile devices, many people still prefer using a laptop for giving their presentations. However, using a laptop nowadays doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to carry a rock on your shoulder. Here is a list of some of the best laptops for presenters to consider.

 

1. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is all that a presenter can need. The laptop sports an Intel Core i7-7600U vPro processor and Intel HD Graphics 620; it can support up to 16GB RAM and comes in a compact, lightweight size with a 14 inch screen (2560 x 1440 pixels). Since this laptop is an Ultrabook (high-end subnotebook), it offers a long battery life of around 15.5 hrs. Moreover, you can get 80% battery in just an hour of charging.

1TB of disk space ensures that you have more than adequate space for storing your data. Not to mention the laptop weighs just 2.4 pound, making it easier to carry around without straining your back.

It is worth mentioning here that although this Ultrabook has some awesome features, it isn’t the cheapest laptop in the list.

2. Dell XPS 13 (2017)

Available with different processors (Core i3-i7), with 4GB to 16GB RAM capacity, the Dell XPS 13 series offers both portability and power, packed in a single machine. The XPS 13 gives presenters the luxury to opt for the model that best suits their needs and pockets. The available models come with storage capacity between 128GB to 1TB storage on an SSD drive. Furthermore, you can opt for a resolution between 1,920 x 1,080 to 3,200 x 1,800, depending upon the model you choose.

The Dell XPS 13 (2017) is not as expensive as the ThinkPad X1 Carbon and comes with more affordable price options, such as the Core i3 and i5 editions of the laptop.
