High-End Laptop Recommendations

Our holiday guides have covered a lot of products so far, and just on the laptop side of things weve looked at budget laptops, Chromebooks, and mainstream offerings ? and lets not forget the related Tablets guide, which overlaps with hybrid devices. Today, we wrap up our laptop coverage with the final catch-all category: "high-end" laptops. High-end means different things to different people, and with a price range of $1500 to $3000+ (you can spend more, but well try to keep things at least somewhat reasonable) there are a ton of options.

The birds eye overview is that most people spending this much money on a laptop want a top quality device that also offers excellent performance, and it should have a display and build quality to match. Even with those constraints, however, theres still some wiggle room, and there are frankly a lot of potential options. I cant hope to cover every single one, but if youre wondering what I think are the best laptops of the past year or so, this is my current "Whos Who" list.
