The Acer Swift 3 14 (2020), our top-rated mid-range laptop for small business use, is what you should get if you want something more subdued. It is a well-made 14-inch Windows laptop with a battery life that readily extends over an average workday. The touchpad is on the smaller side but still pretty snappy, and the keyboard feels a little claustrophobic but is still acceptable to text on. There is just enough space for split-screen multitasking and the display appears sharp, but because it doesn’t get very bright, glare may be a concern in well-lit areas. Sadly, the webcam’s video quality is poor; the picture appears to be underexposed, and the microphone has a staticky sound.

There is a newer variant, the Acer Swift 3 14 (2022), with faster Intel 12th Gen. H-series CPUs if you’re ready to spend a bit extra. Other improvements include an OLED screen that is more vivid and clear, an improved 1080p camera, Wi-Fi 6E, and more ports, including two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports and HDMI 2.1 connectivity. But even with casual use, its battery barely lasts six to seven hours.

The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (2022) is another mid-range notebook. It boasts a much brighter screen, a cozier keyboard, and a far better webcam. Although it has a longer battery life than the Swift 3, it does not include a fingerprint sensor for rapid logins. The Chrome OS itself is the only potential issue. x86 Windows programs are not supported by this operating system, therefore be sure you can fulfil your chores using a Chrome browser or an Android app.

2. Microsoft Surface Pro 8 (2021)

If you enjoy 2-in-1s such as the Lenovo Yoga 7i 14 (2021) but would rather have a tablet with a keyboard that can be detached, the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 (2021) is one of the greatest laptops that we’ve tested for both personal and professional usage, and it’s one of the best options available. You can detach the keyboard to conserve space when watching video or to make the tablet simpler to carry. Additionally, the built-in kickstand enables you to tilt the screen to an almost flat position so that you may take notes or draw with a stylus. Additionally, in contrast to the Lenovo stylus, this one enables tilt, making it an excellent choice for digital artists and makers. The fact that you have to purchase the keyboard and stylus separately brings up the total price of the gadget. This is the trade-off for having the touchscreen display.

The camera is among the very finest available, and the keyboard offers a level of convenience that is particularly impressive given that it is a type cover keyboard. The tablet has a battery life of around seven hours with light use; however, this is to be expected given that there isn’t much room in the tablet form factor to accommodate a large battery. It is up to you to decide whether or not you require the additional processing power, as the more recent Microsoft Surface Pro 9 models are equipped with faster Intel 12th Generation CPUs. However, these models are often more expensive.

3. Dell Inspiron 15 7000 2-in-1

The Inspiron 7000 series, which represents the upper-middle level of Dell’s laptop portfolio, is not going to blow anyone’s socks off with either its appearance or its performance. Instead, the allure of the Inspiron 15 7000 2-in-1 comes in the fact that it is a sturdy, dependable workhorse of a machine that is able to meet the requirements of a busy working professional.

It should come as no surprise, then, that the build quality is a hallmark of the product, as is the accessibility of its internal components for straightforward modifications performed on-site. Although the keyboard and trackpad are just average, the pricing is quite reasonable, the power is enough, and it has Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. It doesn’t make a lot of noise, but it gets the work done while keeping its head down. Just like the greatest employees.

Key specs are: CPU: Intel Core i5-1135G7; Graphics: Intel Iris Xe; RAM: 16GB; Storage: 32GB + 512GB; Dimensions: 354 x 238 x 17mm (WDH); Weight: 1.73kg.

4. Google PixelBook Go

Even though it’s been out longer than most of the other devices on our list, we continue to recommend Google’s Pixelbook Go as the best Chromebook. It boasts one of the greatest keyboards of any laptop, regardless of whether it is a Chromebook or another kind of laptop, and its battery life is just incredible for a device of this size.

Most importantly, because it’s a first-party Google device, you can be certain that support for all of the most recent ChromeOS features will be added as soon as they become available. This is a guarantee. This is the perfect base for the ChromeOS operating system, which has grown quite popular with business clients. You can get Chrome-based laptops that are less expensive than Google’s sophomore attempt, but it is unlikely that you will find any that are better.

Key specs are: CPU: Intel Core i5-8200Y; Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 615; RAM: 8-16GB; Storage: 64GB-256GB; Dimensions: 311 x 206 x 14.5mm (WDH); Weight: 1.06kg

Price Range in UAE AED 2,499:00 to AED 2,999:00

5. Lenovo ThinkPad T14s

If you are interested in purchasing a business laptop manufactured by Lenovo, then the ThinkPad T14s is the model that we recommend most highly right now. With the option of either an AMD or an Intel processor, as well as a heaping helping of 16 GB of RAM as the industry standard and a blazingly quick 512 GB PCIe solid state drive.

The ThinkPad T14s is one of the best laptops available at this price in UAE because its performance remains excellent even when subjected to continuous pressure, making it an excellent choice if you need a device that is capable of dealing with virtually any task you can imagine assigning to it. The ThinkPad’s keyboard impressed us much thanks to its ample length of travel and its really comfortable break at the end of each keypress.

Key specs are: CPU: Intel Core i5-1135G7; Graphics: Intel Iris Xe; RAM: 16GB; Storage: 512GB; Dimensions: 328 x 224 x 16.14mm (WDH); Weight: 1.28kg
