Ultra HD monitors (UHD or 4K for short) are the next step in the evolution of media and PC gaming. Buying a PC monitor or TV for the living room in 2023 would likely be a display with a 4K resolution. Comprising 8,294,400 pixels, 4K screens allow considerably more content (and detail) to be shown. Whether you're smashing Covenant skulls in Halo or enjoying yet another run-through of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it'll look great on one of these 4K monitors.
The best 4K laptops on the market today range from premium convertible devices designed for everyday use to powerful workstations for specialized work to gaming PCs with outstanding performance and a slick design.

But 4K resolution, whether it's with a boosted pixel count or not, delivers the same crisp image that's ideal for anyone who wants the best picture possible. We've put together this list of great laptops with a 4K display to help you find exactly what you need.
