Best 16-Inch Laptops

At 15–16 inches, laptops stop apologizing for being powerful. This is the screen size used by serious gamers, video editors, and developers who work primarily at a desk but still need portability.

Larger displays mean more room for thermals, bigger batteries, and higher-wattage GPUs. The trade-off is weight and thickness — but for users who value screen real estate over carry weight, it's a worthwhile exchange.

This list spans the range from mid-range productivity laptops to top-tier gaming machines. Use the profile filter to switch to Gaming, Creator, or Business scoring to see which 16-inch machines excel in your use case.
