What you get for under £1,000

These laptops are under £1,000. In this range you can expect a better build, a sharper and brighter screen (often OLED), a fast processor and long battery life. Entry-level gaming laptops also start to appear.

Decide what matters most: portability (a thin, light laptop with a great screen) or power (a heavier laptop with a dedicated graphics card). At this price you rarely get both.

Don’t settle for less than 16 GB of memory and 512 GB of storage here, and check the screen brightness: 400 nits or more is a good sign.
