The 7th Edition, as this model is known, is our favorite Windows laptop . The highlight here is the screen. It’s a touchscreen with a 120-Hz refresh rate and a taller 3:2 aspect ratio, which, once you use a 3:2 you won’t want to go back to a 16:9 screen. You also get some features you don’t often see in a thin, light laptops, like a USB-A port.

(Did you know the GPU in the M5 Air is as powerful as the M3 Pro MacBook Pro?) The M5 makes everything significantly faster, whether you’re rendering video or playing games. The fan-less chassis makes it one of the thinnest laptops you can buy, and the battery lasts a full workday. This deal has been coming and going for a few weeks, but it’s close to the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

The MSI Pro E14 is our favorite cheap monitor. It might lack some of the adjustment possibilities of more expensive models, but it offers what you really need, namely, great image quality. It’ll go up to 359 nits at its brightest, and the color coverage is surprisingly good, both in terms of saturation and accuracy. You even get a 144-Hz refresh rate, which is good enough to game.
