Premium Laptops

1. HP Envy 15-EP0142TX
   If you just want a simple but powerful, premium laptop, pick this.
2. HP Spectre x360 13-AW0188TU
   An OLED ultrabook that’s truly special. The ASUS ZenBook Flip S UX371EA-HL701TS is a 2-in-1 alternative.
3. ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV-H2041T
   OLED UHD/4k touchscreen, screenpad 2nd display, gobs of memory/storage and an RTX GPU to handle just about anything you throw at it. Still relatively portable. Here’s an i9 version for even more CPU performance, stretching the limits of the chassis and cooling system.
4. Dell XPS 9700 D560027WIN9S
   The 17-inch 16:10 aspect ratio flagship sits at the intersection of quality, reliability, expandability and performance. Its 15-inch sibling, the DELL XPS 9500 is a worthy alternative if a smaller form-factor is desired.
5. ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 ACRNM GA401IVC-HA275TS
   This is a top-of-the-line special edition of arguably the most important laptop of the last decade, in collaboration with the fashion label Acronym.
   
6. Apple MacBook Pro
   The MacBook Pro is here just to confirm the credentials of the rest of this list. While it won’t win a spec. war, its unique combination of fit & finish, combined with its ecosystem earn it a recommendation once all the other alternatives are considered.  Speaking of alternatives, the 13-inch MBP sacrifices the discrete GPU and CPU core-count, but gains portability in return. These are the x86 variants versus the new ARM ones, which are glorified ipads with keyboards for the time-being.
