I recommend the Omnibook 3 16 for anyone wanting a big-screen productivity laptop who'd like the luxury of not needing to charge it for days at a time. I'd wait for HP's rotating discounts before buying because oftentimes HP's sales pricing can save you hundreds. Because if it's only $50 less than the OmniBook 5 16, then it makes sense to spend the extra for the OLED and added storage. And if you can't find a good deal on an OmniBook and are determined to spend less than $1,000 on a basic, 16-inch laptop, then the Acer Aspire 16 AI is a great alternative at $700.

Despite announcing the Googlebook series, Google has promised that Chromebooks aren't going anywhere yet. So the best Chromebooks are still available and an affordable option for those looking for something more wallet friendly. Besides, Googlebooks are meant to compete with Apple's high-end MacBooks, not the Neo. While the MacBook Neo is the best budget laptop, there are plenty of other options, including the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x and the Acer Aspire Go 15. Nicely, with the launch of the Neo, we now have options for every operating system from ChromeOS and Windows to macOS. Maletis declined
