The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835-powered HP Envy x2's bright 486-nit panel isn't the only reason that you'll want to take this laptop everywhere. A speedy 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processor ties it all together for an excellent package. Other perks of this convertible include nearly 11 hours of battery life, an elegant platinum silver-white design and an ultra-wide 16:10 aspect ratio. The 516-nit score from the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 may not place it at the very top of this list, but it's still bright enough to annihilate your average laptop's output. Read our Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 review 4. Dell's Surface Pro competitor also features an automatically deploying kickstand, long battery life and a robust set of security features. The panel also produces 125% of the sRGB color gamut, so all of your Netflix binges will come through in vivid hues. Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 (542 nits)ĭetachable 2-in-1s like the Latitude 5290 deserve to go anywhere and do anything, and this tablet's 542-nit screen practically guarantees it. And at less than an inch thick and less than 6 pounds, it's aer odynamic enough to be portable. Its gaming performance may not hit the high marks we wanted, but its comfortable keyboard and capable overall performance make it a well-rounded laptop. The 575-nit Gigabyte Aero 17 HDR is a sleek, aluminum beast of a gaming laptop, and its brilliantly bright 4K HDR screen won't blink if you open the shade behind your game station. Oh, and don't worry about the XPS' nosecam problem – it's fixed. It's the sweetest cherry on top of an amazing system, which packs an overclockable Intel Core i9 processor and an Nvidia GTX 1650 GPU. If you're used to dim laptops, you might need to look into a pair of sunglasses before you trip the light fantastic on the amazingly bright 626-nit organic light-emitting diode ( OLED) panel version of the Dell XPS 15.

Of course, we're hoping that the rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro pumps a lot of nits out of its larger screen. Those looking for an Apple (or Apple-esque) laptop don't need to settle for a dim display, as the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the MateBook X Pro fill out the bottom of our top 10.

Their ranking makes a lot of sense, as you can make a better case for a convertible (which can cost more) when you can use it in tablet mode as you walk around not worrying about how much sun is drenching your room, or any light sources around you. Slots 3 through 7 in this list of super-bright laptops are all 2-in-1 notebooks, such as the Long-Term Evolution (LTE)-capable HP Envy x2 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga.
