| | As editors at Laptop Mag, we're often asked, "What's the best laptop?" The question is simple, but the answer is deceptively complex, because it depends on the shopper. If you want to use your notebook more like a family desktop and leave it in the living room, you'll want a system that's different from someone else's who needs to take notes in class, be productive on the long train ride to work, watch movies in bed or play high-end games.  | | | |

|  | | |  | We've identified the 10 longest-lasting notebooks on the market. We're talking anywhere from 9 hours to more than 20 hours of endurance, which should more than suffice for that cross-country fight, long day of meetings or multiple, back-to-back classes. | | | |  | What's the appeal of affordable unlocked smartphones? You just buy the phone, pop in a SIM card (usually AT&T or T-Mobile) and off you go. There's no contract or monthly payment plan for the hardware required. | | | | | | |

|  | | |  | | | If you're a fan of living life on the edge, or are notorious for your butter fingers, you'll want a smartphone that can take a beating. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, an AT&T exclusive, was built to withstand all sorts of abuse, from getting smacked against a table to being submerged in water. Like the regular Galaxy S6, the Active ($199 with two-year contract, or $695 provides plenty of processing power and an excellent camera. Samsung also designed an Activity Zone for the Active that puts the most important tools and statistics on one page. Throw in a longer-lasting battery than in the regular S6, and you've got one of the best smartphones for an active lifestyle yet. | | | | | |
