Top 10 Laptops for Writers in 2023 – Reviews and Buyer’s Guide

There are nearly 250,000 professional writers, authors, and editors, like me, in the US. They all need laptops on which to work! That’s why I have put together this article for my fellow writers out there looking for a great laptop!

Being a writer is a tough job. You have to innovate, research and experiment constantly. You need to imbibe information everywhere you go and write out rough drafts, which you can fair later.  

That’s why you need to have a portable, lightweight machine (under 4 pounds) with a good battery backup (at least 10 hours). Another option that I know many writers use is a touchscreen laptop that they can write on with their fingers.

Top 3 Rated Laptop for Writers, Authors, Bloggers & Journalists…

Writing can also be tough on your hands. There are many health problems related to wrists, elbows, and hand muscles very common with writers. A keyboard with comfortable touch, tactile feedback, bounce, and accuracy is critical for a writer.

Writing long hours doesn’t do any favors for your eyes either. You need a screen that reduces strain (anti-glare) and is visible from all angles (read IPS panels). If you work at night, I recommend you get a backlit keyboard as well.

Another important parameter for writers is laptop connectivity: after all, you simply cannot write anything without referencing at least ten sites in the information age! That’s why a laptop with great Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity is important.

I know many writers like me who like creating rough drafts with voice typing and then correcting them later to get a finished article. But it’s important to have a laptop that supports wireless speakers and a mic for that. A fast Bluetooth connection is usually sufficient for this.

Of course, the basics are also important:

• A good processor (Intel i5 plus, at least).
• Decent RAM (4GB+).
• Storage space (256GB or more).
• Good writing and editing software (MS Word, Apple Pages, or else, Google Docs).

Lastly, and I can’t say this enough – we writers are not rich folk! Our median pay is around $65,000, which is about the same as the median pay for the whole country. So, my friends, I will try to lay off the $1000 + machines that are simply out of range for us!

So let’s get down to business. Below are the nine best laptops for writers, carefully researched, reviewed, and personally tried out by yours truly.

1. Acer Aspire 5 59W2 – Best Choice for Writers

The Acer Aspire 5 is jam-packed with features at a reasonable price, making it the best choice on my list. Let me tick off all the boxes for you:

It weighs 3.97 pounds, which is very reasonable for a 15.6-inch laptop. It is also thin and easy to hold and carry. (Dimensions: 14.31 x 9.86 x 0.71). When you are at that conference or taking notes from a client, you can hold this laptop with one hand without even breaking a sweat. And while you are there, you can take notes for 9.5 hours at a stretch without having to worry about finding a power outlet!

Coming to the keyboard, which is the most important part of the laptop for a writer. The Aspire 5 has a nice and comfortable chiclet-style keyboard. The keyboard has a soft feel, with wide keys and very little space between them. 

The advantage of having this kind of chiclet-style keyboard (apart from the obvious sleek appearance) is that the keys are much wider, making it easier not to get the keystroke wrong and therefore improves accuracy. Secondly, since the keys are flatter, I find that I can type faster. I tried it out extensively and was able to score 60 wpm at 98% accuracy on typingtest.com. 

I love that this laptop has a separate Windows key and a Right-click key (I use both of them extensively). It also has the function keys separated, unlike some laptops where they are muddled and the number keys to save space. 

Lastly, the keyboard is even backlit. So I don’t have to worry too much when I’m working late, and my better half is trying to catch a nap – I can work without the lights on. The only thing that I didn’t like is the small half-sized up and down arrow keys, but I guess sometimes functionality has to be sacrificed at the altar of aesthetics!

Coming next to the trackpad – this is a nice little trackpad 4.1 x 3.1-inch. It’s quite responsive, and even though I prefer separate buttons for right and left click, the corner click system works well here. With Windows 10 gestures, you can do cool tricks like two-finger swipes and three-finger taps, though I have never been a big fan of them.

Next, let’s talk about the screen. The brilliant display with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) and In-Plane Switching panels (IPS) gives a clear view from any direction. It’s great for use outdoors and in dimmer light. Acer has some cool tricks up its sleeve – they use something called Acer Color Intelligence, which automatically adjusts screen saturation. Their screen also has Blue Light Shield, which protects your eyes due to excess strain from working long hours.

Next, let’s talk about connectivity. The Acer Aspire 5 comes ready with Wi-Fi 6, a technology that is considered 250% faster than the current Wi-Fi version. Whether in video or plain old text formats, researching any topic is a breeze with this laptop. Of course, it also has Bluetooth connectivity for my wireless speakers and mic combo, which I use for voice typing sometimes. 

Let’s not keep the other important specs for the laptop out of sight either. It has a 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, which is just the right combination of powerful yet inexpensive for this range of laptops. It’s got a 6MB cache, which speeds things up, and Intel has added the turbo boost mode, which gets this processor racing at 4.2GHz when you need it to run fast. 

But if you think you are getting a slower product than the fancy and expensive top-of-the-line core i7 laptops, think again. Speed also depends on the RAM and storage configuration, where this laptop scores over so many others. It has 8GB DDR4 RAM, coupled with a 256GB SSD memory disk. SSD is super fast, and so is DDR4. Combined, the two give you one lightning-fast laptop for all your basic applications and a bit of gaming as well as playing videos for when you need to take a break from your writing!

As far as input and output ports are concerned, the Acer Aspire 5 has almost everything you need. You can connect a USB-C device for charging and two other USB devices on the remaining USB 3 and USB 2 ports. The HDMI connectivity is a good option for those who use a separate monitor while writing.

2. HP 17.3″ – Best Laptop for Journalists

A journalist’s job today involves a lot more research than just reading out the news. Insightful, sharp, and well-researched interviews and articles are what differentiates a good journalist from a bad one.

And more than anything else, research involves watching a lot of videos from around the world. That’s why I am going to talk more about the screen here than even the keyboard.

For the price, this 17 inch HP laptop is one of the best in the business. It has an HD+ screen, which in itself is good. But what compliments that screen is an Intel UHD Graphics 620 GPU with a 300MHz base frequency and a burst frequency of 1.15GHz. It also offers 4K support to run your videos. 

Of course, it also has a 720p Webcam that lets you talk and interview people online with a clear and sharp voice output through its DTS quality dual speakers.

The HP 17.3 inch also has a chiclet-style keyboard with widely spaced and soft keys. However, there are a couple of things that I did not like – the keyboard does not have a backlight, and there is no right-click button (which I use quite a lot).

I loved the touchpad; like all HP laptops, it is very responsive and has separate right and left click buttons instead of them integrated into the touchpad, unlike the Acer Aspire 5.

Given its size, it is lightweight in its category (weighs 5.4 pounds). However, it’s still very sleek to hold and carry around. It has a six-hour battery life, which keeps you going when you are out hunting for news.

It has all the connectivity options you need- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB Type-C, USB 3, and USB 2. It also has an SD card reader, which is missing in the Acer Aspire 5. There is an HDMI port for dual-screen users and, of course, an out for your headphones and mic.

The Intel Core i5 processor on this machine has a burst frequency of 3.9Ghz, which is quite good for multi-processing applications, such as video editing. The processor gets support from the 8GB DDR3 RAM and 256 GB SSD memory, which gives super fast bootups and processing.

3. Acer Aspire 5 R6DE – Best Laptops for Writers on a Budget

Since I have already reviewed the Intel version of this laptop above, I will focus more on the differences in this section.

This laptop has the AMD Ryzen 7 3700U Dual-Core Processor, which has the same specs and is the nearest AMD competitor to the 10th Gen Core i5 -10210U in our top pick. The AMD Ryzen has a slightly better processing speed at 2.3Ghz than the 1.6Ghz speed of Core i5.  

However, as far as multi-processing speed is concerned, Intel can go faster at 4.2GHz, whereas the AMD can go only up to 4GHz. The AMD processor also has a 4MB L3 cache, whereas Intel has a 6MB internal cache. All in all, both processors benchmark almost similarly when compared.

While both laptops have 8GB RAM, this one has a DDR3 vs. the DDR4 RAM in the other machine. DDR4 is significantly faster. On the other hand, this machine has higher 512GB SSD memory than the 256GB memory of the Intel version, thus somewhat balancing out the difference in RAM. 

From a writing perspective, this laptop has the same keyboard, display, and webcam as the other one, so not much to choose from in that respect. However, the graphics card used in this laptop is significantly better, with better lighting and texture effects.

Connectivity-wise, this laptop is slightly slower with Wi-Fi 5, but all the other connectivity options are the same. One significant downside that I felt was the battery life. The AMD processor is not meant for low power output like the Intel one, so it is no surprise that this laptop has lower battery life.

In conclusion, if you are considering a budget laptop and don’t mind taking a chance on AMD instead of Intel, this machine is worth every penny.

4. Apple MacBook Air – Great Laptop for Bloggers

I have always been a fan of Apple’s products simply because they give that little extra to everything they do.

Consider the Magic keyboard that comes with the Macbook Air. The level of responsiveness that you get from this keyboard is simply amazing. Apple has taken care to keep the keys at an optimum distance from each other, and the keypress mechanism is in the shape of a scissor, which reduces travel time and improves accuracy. The keys are at a whole different level of softness, and if this wasn’t enough, the keyboard is backlit as well!

The touchpad is equally good; it has a large area (Apple claims 20% larger than others, and I have no reason not to believe otherwise). It supports pressure-sensitive drawing and multi-touch gestures.

The 13.3-inch display, which Apple calls “Retina Display,” has perhaps the sharpest picture and colors in the industry. Their True Tone technology understands ambient lighting and depicts colors exactly as you see them in real life. It has also got IPS for perfect viewing from any angle outdoors.

Depending on your budget, you can choose to go with the 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or even the 2TB SSD option, which will give you Intel Core i3/i5 and i7 processors, respectively. I am reviewing the core i3 version, which has a 1.1Ghz clock speed, optimized perfectly for the macOS. You also get 8GB DDR4 RAM in the machine. These specs are good enough for most applications and video processing on a day-to-day basis.

When it comes to portability, nothing beats a Mac. This machine is aptly named because it is lighter than air (just 2.8 pounds). It also has all the usual connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, BT5, and USB Type-C ports. 

The video experience is augmented well by Stereo speakers who have Dolby Atmos Support. All in all, if you are a blogger and use multimedia, text, video, and audio options regularly, this is a great laptop for you.

5. Asus VivoBook 15 – Best 15-inch Laptops for Writers

The first thing that strikes you about the Asus VivoBook 15 is the narrow bezel display. It’s got one of the thinnest bezels in the market, with a screen covering nearly 88% of the body. Plus, the full HD display in 15.6 inches is a treat to watch videos, news, and read articles. The screen has a 178-degree viewing angle so that you can watch it from odd positions and outside your home/office as well with ease.

A very nice feature of the VivoBook is that it raises the keyboard by about two degrees when you open the laptop. For a regular writer, that slight incline of the keyboard makes the keystrokes very comfortable. The keys are designed to have a key travel of 1.44mm (how deep the keypresses). This is a perfect key travel distance; it is neither too deep nor too less.

The key dish design (the key’s shape) is also impressive; it captures your finger, thereby reducing the risk of errors while typing. The keys have been tested for 10K taps, so no need to worry about durability. 

There is a one-touch fingerprint-based sensor on the trackpad for secure and quick logins. Oh, and did I mention that they have a backlit keyboard as well? 

I didn’t like the keyboard’s placing of the function key to the left bottom row, next to Ctrl. I am used to having an Alt or a Windows key down there, so it made my trip up a few times.

Another cool thing about ASUS’s VivoBooks, in general, is their sleekness. This model is only 3.75 pounds and 0.78 inches thick. It’s no MacBook Air, but amongst the 15-inch laptops, this is certainly one of the lightest laptops in the market out there.

Coming to connectivity options, the laptop does not disappoint. It has Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth, USB Type-C, USB Type-A, USB 2.0, and you can even connect a monitor or share your screen on to a projector using the HDMI port. 

The one place where this laptop does lag a bit is processing power. But as long as you are using it primarily for writing and research, this should not be a factor that should worry you. 

It has a 10th Gen Intel Core i3 processor, a dual-core processor with a base speed of 1.2GHz. It also has 4MB of cache. While this configuration is good for day-to-day work, it’s not something you would like to use for gaming or multi-processing. 

It also has 8GB of DDR4 RAM and 128GB of SSD memory. The RAM and memory configuration gives you great bootups and fast processing. However, 128GB of SSD memory may be considered too little by some people, especially if you want to store many pictures and videos.

But perhaps the most amazing thing is that this model comes in at under $400. That’s the perfect budget for a writer like me trying to run a writing business and doesn’t have a lot of money to spend on the laptop.

6. Acer Swift 3 – Most Portable, Ideal for Travelling Writers

The Acer Swift 3 is a superfast, ultra-lightweight laptop. The laptop weighs an incredibly light 2.6 pounds and is just 0.63 inches thick, making it a perfect partner for those who need to travel a lot for their writing job (sports journalists, news media, etc.).

This model is an upgrade from the earlier version of the Acer Swift 3 launched in 2018, which had the Ryzen 7 2700U processor. This was a processor equivalent to the Intel Core i5. The latest model has the Ryzen 7 4700U, which compares better with the Intel Core i7 – 10700, which was released around the same time. This means much faster speeds, and the octa-core processor is also better at multithreading. Similarly, Acer has upped the graphics card as well, giving you better displays and gaming. The built-in memory has gone up from 256GB to 512GB too.

Like many of its contemporaries, the Acer Swift 3 has a chiclet-style backlit keyboard. It is very springy and quiet but perhaps has a little less key travel than I like (smaller keypress means you are unsure of the key and makes you lose a bit of accuracy). 

There is a Windows Hello enabled fingerprint touch button underneath the keyboard for added security. The touchpad is fairly large but does not have separate buttons for left and right-click.

One beef that I have with the keypad design is the placement of the power switch just above backspace – that’s just poor design; you end up shutting down the computer when you are trying to edit a document quickly.

Now let me come to the display. The screen size is 14 inches, with a well-lit LED display with superbly narrow bezels and IPS panes for visibility from all angles when you are outside the home. You also get an HD-quality webcam, but the speakers were a bit disappointing due to their low volume.

However, the color gamut is slightly lower than one would expect. When running high-quality videos, you find a difference in the picture quality compared to a premium screen like the Macbook Airs. Despite Acer’s Color Intelligence and ExaColor technologies, the picture may be sharp but not as colorful.

Battery life is another positive on this laptop. With 11.5 hours of backup, you can carry around the laptop all day and keep working without ever having to find a power outlet.

Connectivity on the laptop is superb. With Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth capability, you can connect to your favorite devices and, of course, the internet in a breeze. The laptop has the USB Type-C port for charging and upto 10Gbps of transfer speeds, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 port for power-off charging, and 1 U

7. Dell Inspiron 15 5000 – Best Laptop for Writing a Book!

To write a book, you need a quiet environment for contemplation, a great idea to beat the writer’s block, and of course, a great keypad as well as an anti-glare monitor for those long writing sessions!

The key pad on the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 has 1.4mm travel (keypress) and needs 73 grams of force for typing. Both these parameters are perfect for typing for a long time. It also has a chiclet-style keyboard with a low distance between keys while typing. The keyboard is backlit for typing at night. 

The display also supports those long writing sessions – it is a 15.6 inch full HD display with anti-glare, which does not put too much strain on your eyes.

The laptop is quite thin and light- it weighs under 4 pounds and is 0.8 inches thick. It has also got good connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps speed), HDMI port for connecting to monitors, 3.5mm headphone and mic jack, and even an SD card reader.

This laptop is fairly powerful in processing capability for day-to-day use. Its 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor has 6 MB cache, and it also has 8GB DDR4 RAM and 256GB SSD memory. You wouldn’t love gaming in this configuration, but it’s otherwise pretty solid.

8. HP Chromebook 14: Best Chromebook for Writers

A Chromebook is a great option if you think of a low-budget laptop that you need only for writing. The HP 14 inch Chromebook has a great combination of specs, performance, and price.

Starting with the keyboard, the Chromebook has given a surprisingly good typing experience compared to some cheaper Windows laptops. It’s a responsive keyboard with high travel, and the keys are good to pound on with heavy typing. However, one problem is the lack of a dedicated Caps lock key, though you rarely need it these days. Also, this is not a backlit keyboard, which can be a bit of a problem for night owls like me. The trackpad is also quite big and responsive. 

The laptop has 8.5 hours of battery backup, and the display is quite decent. You also get a full HD webcam and immersive dual speakers. If you work with others in a team, the 180-degree hinge can be a useful way to share your screen.

This is also a fairly lightweight option at just 3 pounds, and it has a 0.72-inch thickness. You can get decent performance for everyday tasks with 4GB RAM and AMD’s Dual-Core 1.6 GHz processor (with 1 MB cache).

9. Lenovo Chromebook C330 – Best Convertible Laptop for Writing

Lenovo’s entry into the Chromebook space is both functional as well as cost-effective. The 360-degree laptop cum tent cum tablet is thinner than an inch and weighs just 2.6 pounds due to its small 11-inch screen size.

It has a good and responsive keyboard and trackpad for this range of computers and offers good connectivity options along with great battery life (nearly ten hours). 

The display is quite good with IPS panels and a decent resolution. I did not like that the laptop felt a bit fragile, but at this price point, this much is to be expected.

Apart from this, you get all the benefits of ChromeOS, from built-in antivirus to automatic updates.

The Lenovo Chromebook C330 comes with a wide hinge that enables you to use it in different modes, including stand, tent, and tablet. However, it’s worth mentioning that these produce some wobble when the screen is tapped. If you’re an aspiring writer or professional journalist, it’s definitely the best 2-in-1 laptop for writers.

10. Lenovo 100s – Best Cheap Laptop for Writers On A Budget

The Lenovo Chromebook is another very cost-friendly option if your only use is basic typing and the internet. It’s quite sleek – weighing only 2.65 pounds and just 0.75 inches thick.

The 11.6-inch display is quite clear and gives a decent performance. It also has anti-glare. Unfortunately, this does not have an IPS display, so you don’t get a clear view from all angles. This is a touchscreen laptop that supports multi-touch.

Unlike the Lenovo Chromebook C330, this one doesn’t come with an IPS display, which means that to get the crisp and lively details, you’ll have to sit directly in front of its screen.

The device has got solid processing capability with a 2.16 GHz processor and 4GB RAM. You also get ten hours of battery with the machine, so it’s a to-go laptop in every sense.

In this price range, the keyboard is surprisingly good. The chiclet-style keyboard has a responsive keypad, and keys are not too far from each other, so you have to work less to get the job done.

It’s naturally nothing ThinkPad-like, but it’s still good enough. Though the square, chiclet-style keys feel a little shallow while typing, they’re still snappy and responsive. Instead of the caps lock, this laptop comes with a search key, and plenty of system functions on the top row.

The Lenovo 100s comes with a USB 2.0, a USB 3.0, and an HDMI port, besides the security-lock slot. It’s also equipped with an audio jack and an SD/MMC memory reader.

Weighing 2.65 pounds and measuring 0.75 x 11.8 x 8.5 inches, the Lenovo 100s is one of the most compact and lightweight options you can find on the market, making it an ideal choice for writers who are always on the move.

It’s hard to find a laptop that performs well these days that isn’t $500+, but the Lenovo 100s is an unprecedented exception! It’s quite fast and responsive, allowing you to tackle all your writing tasks as well as multitask, yet it’s priced at less than $200. If it’s cheap laptops for writers you’re after, this is the one for you!

How to Choose A Laptop for Writers – Buyer’s Guide

The shopping process here is a little specific. Choosing a laptop for writing isn’t a hard task, as long as you know exactly what to look for. If you need insights, check out the most important aspects to consider below.

What a Writer Should Look for When Choosing a Laptop…

Keyboard

Since you’re getting your laptop for writing, you’ll probably be using your keyboard more than the average user. That’s why you should focus on longevity and comfort first, and then look into these factors:

• Key Placement:

You should make sure that the ctrl or command button is placed leftmost so you can easily find it and press it with your pinky.

What’s more, the caps lock should somehow be distinctive from other keys to avoid typing errors. Finally, there should be enough space between the key and the base to reduce the chances of bottoming out. This also helps in preventing you from hitting the bottom of your keyboard with much force during typing, which reduces soreness and increases your typing speed.

• Arrow Pad:

Doublecheck that it has page-up and page-down options to facilitate navigation.

• Backlighting: While this isn’t a deal-breaker since you’ll eventually get used to the keyboard configuration of your laptop, backlighting usually helps you avoid many typos, especially if you’re writing in the dark or a dim-lit place.

• Good feedback: The keys of your keyboard shouldn’t be stiff. On the contrary, they should be springy and provide some resistance in order to avoid bottoming out and give you a more reliable writing experience.

Portability

Most writers like to change their places a lot during the process, whether they move from one place to another in the same office or at home, or even go to different cafes and working spaces to gain inspiration. We all know that this helps during writing blocks, and that’s why portability is important.

In terms of laptop weight, you should opt for whatever weight is comfortable for you, the weight can vary from 2.5-5.5lbs. As for the screen size, around 13 to 15 would be ideal, big enough for good visibility but not too big to carry around.

Durability

Durability is an important aspect by all means, but it’s even more important if you’re going to move your laptop around from one to another a lot. This is why I recommend a laptop with a metal or aluminum chassis. While this might increase the weight, it’ll definitely help you rest assured about your laptop’s durability.

Battery Life

If you’re going to take your laptop outside to write, an outlet may not always be available, and that’s why it’s best if you get a laptop with a long-lasting battery. This also helps if you don’t like having to plug your laptop in with a cord.

Around 8 hours of battery life is a good average, though, of course, the more the better.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Your CPU is responsible for handling the basic operations of a computer program, making it the machine’s brain. The popular ones which you’ll find on most devices are Intel and AMD processors.

Intel processors are usually i5 or i7 laptop versions and come in a 2 or 4-core configuration, and those are pretty neat for writing purposes. You might not need to splurge on an i7 core and instead opt for an i5 core with a higher RAM, which brings us to…

Memory (RAM)

You can think of the RAM (Random Access Memory) as your machine’s short-term memory system. The more demanding the programs you use are, the higher the RAM you would need to use.

As writers, we have the advantage of not needing much RAM – if we save our work online – which means 8GB would be great. It’s enough to run your favorite writing program while simultaneously having your research tabs open – to do the occasional vocab check or anything similar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Laptop Has the Best Keyboard for Typing?

If your main concern is how comfortable the keyboard is, I’d recommend you go for the MacBook Air, the Acer Aspire 5, or the ASUS VivoBook 15.

Which Chrome OS Laptop is the Best?

From the options on the list, I’d recommend the HP Chromebook 14 for anyone who wants to work on Chrome OS. Though like other options, it doesn’t come with plenty of storage space or RAM, this one has the ultimate combination between performance, portability, and decent battery life.

What Does a 2-in-1 Laptop Mean?

2-in-1 detachable laptops are a mix of laptops and tablets. They typically come with a rotatable or even detachable keyboard, which gives you the freedom to use the touchscreen independently of the laptop itself.

Conclusion

Now that you’ve gone through the reviews of all the best laptops for writers on the market, we hope you’re a step closer to finding your best match. But if you need a quick recap, here’s everything in a nutshell:

If you’re looking for a little something of everything, I’d recommend the Acer Aspire 5 for what it has to offer in terms of performance, display, comfort of use, and connectivity options. It’s also a little more affordable than the 2020 HP.

The latter, however, is second to none in terms of responsiveness, quick and reliable performance, besides having a big display with ample resolution. It does come at a handsome price, though.

If you’re looking for a portable option that you can carry around easily and you’re the kind of writer whose inspiration peaks when changing work environments, then you should go for the Acer Swift 3. It’s also a great option for multitaskers.

The Lenovo Chromebook C330 will be an ideal choice if you’re looking for a hybrid device. Instead of investing separately in a laptop and a tablet, you can opt for this convertible choice. However, it’s not the most durable or solid in terms of construction.

Finally, if you’re looking for a very budget-friendly option, I’d recommend the Lenovo 100s as it has plenty to offer yet comes at less than $200.
