Looking for a new laptop and think a 1080p screen just isn't enough? Then you've come to the right place, as we've listed the best 4K laptops money can buy.
While some people may think that 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 to be precise) is overkill on small laptop screens, there are a number of reasons why you'd want to go ultra HD.
For a start, ultra-high definition resolution on smaller screens makes for some incredibly sharp and impressive visuals. Fire up a 4K video from Netflix or YouTube and you'll be incredibly impressed.
It also means you've got more desktop space despite the smaller screen, so you can have more windows open at once.
Also, if you're going to use the laptop for photo editing, then a 4K display will show off your digital photographs in stunning detail.
Windows 10 also does a great job of scaling for 4K resolutions. This means it can alter the size of text, icons and buttons so they are easy to read and use on high resolution displays.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at the best 4K laptops on sale today.
