You might find it hard to believe, but Motorola has created an impressive laptop that truly grabs attention.

      Motorola is a name I wouldn't typically associate with a genuinely good laptop. A stylish smartphone? Definitely. A foldable device with personality? Without a doubt. But encountering a sleek and lightweight notebook that is both thoughtfully designed and fairly priced was an unexpected delight. Yet, the Moto Book 60 Pro stands out as one of the more subtly impressive laptops in its category.

      In a laptop market that's quite chaotic, Motorola's offerings feel refreshing. It's a capable and appealing machine, maintaining accessibility at a time when prices elsewhere have become quite steep.

      The design prompts the reaction: “Wait, did Motorola make this?”

      The first thing the Moto Book 60 Pro excels at is immediately noticeable. It looks fantastic. Very fantastic. Motorola has adhered to a sleek and minimalist approach, featuring a fully metal body, a lightweight 1.39kg chassis, and Pantone-selected finishes like Wedgewood and Bronze Green. I spent some time with the Bronze Green variant, and it genuinely led to people guessing the brand of the laptop. Every time I revealed it was Motorola, the reaction was one of surprise.

      This is truly a thin-and-light notebook with a build that feels both luxurious and portable. At first glance, one could easily confuse it with a new Windows competitor to the MacBook Neo. The only downside is that the Moto Book 60 Pro isn't a brand-new device; it originally launched in India in September 2025.

      The OLED display is the standout feature

      Another aspect that makes the Moto Book 60 Pro appealing is its screen. Motorola has equipped it with a 14-inch 2.8K OLED display that boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, and a peak brightness of up to 1100 nits. For a machine starting around $680 at certain retailers, that represents exceptional value, especially in a year when laptop prices have skyrocketed.

      And yes, it truly performs well in practice. Colors are vivid, contrast is outstanding, scrolling is smooth, and the added brightness gives the display a lively quality, not merely “good for the price.” This is the type of display that enhances the overall laptop experience, making movies look better, browsing feel richer, and every time you open the lid, the machine seems more premium.

      The value of the Moto Book 60 Pro is hard to overlook

      This is where the laptop shifts from being a pleasant surprise to a strong recommendation. Motorola introduced the base Moto Book 60 Pro with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 512GB SSD storage. Meanwhile, the higher-end Core Ultra 7 255H model, featuring 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of storage, is priced just below $900.

      The additional specifications are impressive as well. This model is equipped with a 60Wh battery, 65W USB-C charging, a 1080p IR webcam, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 7, and a surprisingly robust selection of ports.

      While these aren't Intel's latest processors, the Series 2 chips still offer capable performance, decent efficiency, and overall reliability, even as we move into 2026. This is especially notable when considering the current state of the market. Premium thin-and-light laptops with similarly attractive displays and modern Intel or ARM chips are often priced much higher now, particularly with memory inflation in play.

      However, the downside is availability. Like the earlier Moto Book 60, this remains exclusive to India at the moment, which limits its global impact.

      One can't help but notice Lenovo's influence, which isn’t necessarily a negative but rather contextual. Motorola isn't reinventing the laptop; it's taking a solid framework and enhancing it with better styling, an exceptional screen, and competitive pricing, which honestly feels sufficient. The Moto Book 60 Pro isn't groundbreaking; it's simply good-looking, appealing, and well-priced. In 2026, this is something that should have been widely accessible in other regions.
