GoKawiilYour laptop is like your personal command center. Whether you’re working from a coffee shop, hopping on a video call or working on creative projects, your laptop shapes how you get things done. You probably use a laptop every day, so we want to know your opinions about its performance, battery life and if the features are worth the price tag.
Every month, we ask our readers about the tech and gadgets they use and swear by. This time, we want to know which laptop you rely on. You can take our 2-minute survey to share your experience with your device’s battery life, software, hardware and value. The top picks will make it into our roundup, so be sure to check back in a few weeks to see if your favorite made the list.
Why we want to hear from you
Anyone can visit a retailer’s website and check out a device’s specs, but that rarely tells the full story. How well it performs under your workload, how long the battery lasts and whether the build is solid enough to last over the years are invaluable pieces of information that only real-world users like you can provide.
“I test a lot of laptops and try to provide as much detail as I can about my hands-on experience in my reviews because actually using a laptop helps you get to the truth about a product much more quickly than relying on specs lists and marketing fluff,” says CNET Senior Editor Matt Elliott. “I am very curious to learn which types of laptops are the favorites and those that are failing to live up to expectations from CNET readers’ lived-in, real-world experiences.”
Whether you’re working with a budget laptop or a high-end model, you can help other CNET readers find a laptop that’s actually worth it by sharing your thoughts.
How to make your voice heard
The survey is open through September and takes only a few minutes to complete. After we gather enough information, we’ll crunch the numbers and publish the winners.
