Hacking became a popular term after the widespread of the news about money stolen from bank accounts. There are many hackers all around the world ready to hack for good or bad. But most of them interested to hack and steal money or take revenge on their girlfriend’s.

These things will never make you a hacker, do it for a strong purpose(good or bad). Now I will list you the best hacking laptops. Use any one of it for your strong purpose. I might be for good or bad, don’t hesitate to do it.

What hackers do with their laptop: –

But before you know about the laptops, you have to know what hackers will do with their laptops. Here are the few things what hackers do all the time with their laptops.

  • Buffer overflow. A method of attack where the hacker delivers malicious commands to a system by overrunning an application buffer.
  • Denial-of-service attack. An attack designed to cripple the victim’s system by preventing it from handling its normal traffic, usually by flooding it with false traffic.
  • Script kiddie. A young or unsophisticated hacker who uses base hacker tools to try to act like a real hacker.
  • Email worm. A virus-laden script or mini-program sent to an unsuspecting victim through a normal-looking email message.
  • Backdoor. A secret pathway a hacker uses to gain entry to a computer system.
  • Root access. The highest level of access to a computer system, which can give them complete control over the system.
  • Trojan horse. A seemingly helpful program that tricks the computer user into opening it, only to deliver an unexpected attack on the user’s computer.
  • Rootkit. A set of tools used by an intruder to expand and disguise his control of the system.
  • Session Hijacking. When a hacker is able to insert malicious data packets right into an actual data transmission over the Internet connection.

This is what people feel when they are hacking.

Best laptop for hacking

These are the things which hackers do most of the time. You should be doing all them after getting a laptop from one of the below. I strongly believe that you can do. But it takes time to become a hacker, even if you want to be a script kiddie then you should spend some quality time.

What are the minimum configurations for a best hacking laptop?

This minimum configuration depends upon the type of hack you perform. For example, if you want to crack a textual password stored on a low level security computer then you will be able to attack using a low end computer but if you are willing to do a DDOS on a website you must have a laptop with high processing power and good GPU.

A GPU, Graphic processing unit can do complex operations in less time compare to a CPU, hence A better GPU will help you to get the result faster if used in the right way. 

A very good high-end i7 processor with a high end GPU will be a better combination.

Nobody knows when you can expand your ability in this hacking world. You should worry about changing your laptop whenever you improve your hacking skills. 

Buying a laptop with the best configurations is a best way to avoid buying another laptop in the future. Here are the configurations required if you want to do best in the hacking world.

  • High Computational Processor (i7 processor)
  • High end GPU (Good GPU)
  • 8-12 GB RAM.
  • SSD is recommended for faster transfer rate.

Things hackers like on the laptop other than the specifications?

  • longer battery life.
  • lightweight.
  • linux compatible.
  • fast wake and fast sleep.

Most of the hackers like the long battery life as they need to spend hell lot of time with it. Always they cannot sit right next to their plug point and keep o charging the laptop. That would be annoying.

A long battery life will let you work long hours. The hacking is not “read and implement thing”. It takes a lot of effort and practice.

This is how people go mad when they work for long hours.

Lightweight laptops are always useful to hackers. This will allow them to run away with the laptop easily when something goes wrong while hacking. so, a lightweight device like MacBook is easy to run away.

These lightweight laptops don’t get damaged easily due to its weight. Here comes the physics, an object which is heavier will fall down quickly and hits the ground hard than a lightweight object.

So, which one do you want to choose? a heavier laptop or a lighter one? I will take a laptop which is lightweight as it is easy to carry.

Always look for a laptop which can support Linux on the machine. Linux is like a girlfriend to each and every hacker. They spend a lot of time together.

Linux is an extremely popular operating system for hackers. There are two main reasons behind this. First off, Linux’s source code is freely available because it is an open source operating system. This means that Linux is very easy to modify or customize. Second, there are countless Linux security distros available that can double as Linux hacking software.

Why is an SSD helpful for a hacker?

An SSD has a higher rate of data transmission than the HDD. You should work with larger files while injecting files to the victim’s computer. At that moment this will be helpful to you. The SSD will read and write the data faster and there are no movable parts inside it like HDD.

It will write the data quickly than reading. The higher GB you purchase the higher data rate comes with it.

For example, The 256 GB SSD has higher rate of transmission than the 128GB SSD

Okay now, let’s jump into the list of best laptop for hacking.

 

Wait, You Don’t like Apple! 

FunFact: Apple leave hackers an option to install almost any Linux distro or other OS which makes the whole hacking process easy and flexible.

MacBooks come with the OS X/macOS operating system, which is based on the UNIX operating system. Many hackers feel more comfortable operating in a terminal environment, which, until the most recent Windows 10-anniversary update, was not possible by default on a Windows operating system.

As a matter of preference, many technology enthusiasts also prefer the build quality, battery life, and design of MacBooks over the alternative as well.

 This is recommended for a beginner hacker. But the MacBook will provide really good comfort when you put your hands on it. It is lightweight and switches to sleep mode very quickly. The battery life is also very long lasting.
 
This will be a perfect laptop to hide your identity and stay anonymous while you hack. These are the 3 reasons to buy a laptop for hacking.
  • Macbook allows you to install multiple OS and you can choose any linux OS as an alternate for hacking. 
  • Macbook Runs Mac-OS which is more like a Linux Based OS and Provides Terminal Access
  • Mac OS Provides Greater Anonymity Levels as compared to Windows but still not enough if compared to a pen testing distro.
  • Third Reason is the Specs of a Mac Book, It’s a Pretty Fair Tech Specs.

These are the perfect reasons for a beginner to buy a MacBook. Most of the programmers prefer Macbook to improve their coding skills.

Alienware’s trademark angular design is on full display with this 17-inch gaming laptop. It can even perform hacking in spite of being a gaming laptop. The gunmetal-gray spaceship look hasn’t changed much in the past few years.

It’s still aggressive and powerful, with its angles and a two-toned mix of gray and black, but it’s also classy and refined, with solid aluminum construction and soft-touch plastic. Still, the look is starting to get a bit tired after so many years.

This massive laptop has a big, beautiful display…though it is a bit on the heavy side as a result. That being said, this hacking laptop is ideal for hackers who hate having to squint at an undersized monitor.

A big sized monitor doesn’t let your eyes strain much. You can work for long hours with ease using such big monitors. A gaming laptop can perform best on hacking. Due to its high-end specs. They are really helpful while cracking down few passphrases. 

A good laptop with good GPU will provide you a whole list of passwords of your targets within less amount of time. So, you can even game when you are bored with hacking. But don’t get bored of hacking my friend. It is like a game to solve puzzles all the time.

The Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-57D4 has a Full HD display to make a clear view while you are hacking. A full HD means a 1080P screen, this good enough for a PC like this. There are 2 USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 ports.

The USB 3.0 ports will help you in transferring bits faster for a quick action. Always see that the PC have at least one USB 3.0 port. It is very helpful hackers like you.

The speakers produce a quality sound even though they are placed under the laptop. The battery life is amazing. It gives around 11 hours of continuous web browsing. This might reduce over time when you use it.

The new electronic device performs very well when you purchase it, but after a time period, small troubles start to get in. Most laptop webcams don’t impress, and the Aspire E 15’s is no exception. Its 720p camera takes grainy and off-color photos and colors are very undersaturated.

This is a good laptop to start learning and sharpen your hacking skills. The only problem with this laptop is the webcam quality. When you buy a laptop for hacking, you won’t use it solely for hacking. You will use it for different reasons. so, webcam might be a problem for you.

The Asus Zenbook UX303UB may be extremely thin and feather-light, but an ultraportable laptop can’t get by on those aspects alone. The Asus UX303UB is quite simply one of the most exciting laptops we’ve seen in years.

It continues Asus’ long line of Zenbook ultrabooks but really sets itself apart by bringing the same level of build quality and design we’ve come to expect, at a price many more people can afford.

On the right is a USB 3.0 port with USB Charger, a sleep and charge solution that offers faster charging for smartphones and tablets. An HDMI Type D port offers video and audio output, while a headset jack supports headphones and a mic.

It’s obvious that while the Asus ZenBook UX303UB has a reasonably powerful GPU, this alone does not make it a hardcore password cracking machine.

The 512 GB SSD will deliver you a quality experience of transferring data and the laptop does not lag behind while you operate. The best thing I like on this laptop is the slim design. It looks marvelous and feels good when you hold it. This will be a good laptop and provides value to its price

  • Speakers are disappointing.

 

The system’s backlit keyboard is comfortable to use, with no keyboard flex. The function keys are set up intelligently for the consumer, with the primary functions being screen brightness, volume, airplane mode,  etc. instead of the F1-F12 keys. You can still access F1-F12 with the Fn key. 

The webcam has a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. Pictures are quite sharp but there is significant disturbance while the camera is running. The colors also vary from the real world to the camera screen. But you don’t need to worry about this as you have to learn to hack with this laptop.

The speakers are pretty cool. This Ideapad is perfect for a solo party. You can just turn on the song on your laptop and start to dance or party hard. The speakers are amazingly good. You can get this if you are a songs lover especially trance lover. The 300-400 beats per minute are clearly audible.

This has a touch screen and a great battery life about 8 hours(normal usage). The only problem with is the Display which has narrow viewing angles. This might not be comfortable while you are watching movie with your girlfriend. If you don’t have one then you are safe from all things.

This attractive, 15-inch laptop features a snappy keyboard, good audio output and strong performance for the money, but to get it at this price, you have to compromise on screen quality and internal storage. The high-end specs like Intel i7 processor 7th generation will fuel up your laptop to do any kind of task.

The Acer has promised a battery life of 6 hours but that will never be true. This is because the company will test their products under their own functions. I mean they will not push it hard enough to test the performance.

If you are not satisfied with the specs you can easily add more memory and storage. It has an ample port assortment, including USB 3.1 Type-C.  This port will allow any device plugged in to function at a lighting speed. It has 3 USB 3.0 ports and 1 USB 2.0 port. Look like there are ample of USB ports to plugin some good stuff.

The dedicated GB graphics is installed on this monster. Actually, this is a gaming laptop, but you can use it for the hacking purpose also. It weighs about 5.51 pounds with a stunning black and red color.

This could be a gateway for you to crack your enemies passphrases. But remember that you should hack for a purpose.

The Inspiron 15 7000 is a little red corvette in a world full of black-and-gray laptops. The laptop’s touchably-soft lid captivates in a shade Dell calls Hibiscus Red. It makes the glossy black Dell insignia in the center pop.

The rear hinge is made of a  gray plastic while the vents are accentuated with more of that luscious red. If you’re looking for something more understated, this monster is also available in Matte Black.

The Inspiron does not have a maintenance hatch, but you can remove the entire base plate. In order to do this, you have to first remove 10 visible screws. Afterwards, it is not that easy to find a point of leverage to remove the bottom.

The best place is at the back, in the center between the two hinges. After loosening and taking off the bottom, you get access to the RAM slots, the battery, the SSD, and the empty SATA slot, as well as the fan.

The Inspiron 15’s front-firing speakers and bottom-mounted subwoofer pump out some solid tuneage. Although the default setting sounded great to me, you can toggle the settings in the Waves MaxxAudio Pro software for your optimal listening experiences.

  • Dull and inaccurate display
  • Bottom runs warm when pushed hard.

The aluminum and plastic design is marvelous. When you see the laptop you feel like owning it. The Full HD i.e 1080 screen doesn’t perform well. The display goes dim at certain angles.

This weighs about 5.5 pounds, which is a bit heavier. but still, you can manage to lift it up. The screen dimensions are 15.4 x 10.2 x 1.5 inches. That looks pretty big. 

The GeForce GTX 1060 is a supporting part to make this beast unbeatable. With lot many advantages, this beast has its own disadvantages.

The exhaust fan makes a lot of noise while it is running at a full speed. This might be helping your CPU and GPU to cool down but, the noise is annoying. You cannot focus on the logic to hack into a system with this noise beside you. Operating the system at cool levels might reduce the noise. The display might also trouble you while looking at certain angles.

The HP Laptop ProBook 450 G4 has a precision pad which allows you to move the cursor very fast. The important thing to notice while you purchase a laptop for hacking is to check whether it has a precision pad or not. This precision pad was introduced by Apple on MacBook. It does have any ugly buttons and looks super cool.

This ProBook has HD screen and but provides poor quality. The viewing angles are really poor due to the TN panel inserted in it.

The battery performance is satisfying. It provides a 7 Hours battery time on a full charge. the laptop produces high temperatures while performing at maximum level. 

Keep your productivity high and downtime low with the fully integrated and automated features of the HP BIOSphere firmware ecosystem. Your PCs have extra protection thanks to automatic updates and security checks. 

You don’t need to worry about the design as the HP- Hewlett Packard are people who prepare excellent designs and compete with Apple. The surface around the keyboard is brushed aluminum with slightly concaved keyboard tray for extra ergonomics.

Speaking of the keyboard, it’s pretty much the same but doesn’t actually feel that familiar. The travel of the keys is shorter but the excellent feedback has remained so we can still say it’s still a high-quality keyboard.

The surface book is a perfect laptop to kill MacBook competition. You have to look the design first and later check the specs. It has been covered with a fabric which we use in our daily life. This doesn’t make it cheap. the fabric is of good quality. The colors are also really really good. Don’t worry about cleaning it as Microsoft says you can just use a damp cloth for cleaning.

The surface pro lacks number keypad on the right. This will save space for Microsoft to make a wonderful design. The weight of this beauty is 5.05 pounds. That makes it lighter than any other laptops in the market.

The backlit and touchscreen are the additional features of the surface pro. You don’t feel its presence when it is placed on the floor. It will merge with the floor.

But not everything is perfect. It has few app restrictions which might be annoying for people who want to explore the internet and try the Tech. The other notebooks offer more advanced features like USB-c which will transfer files at lightning speed.

Conclusion

Hacking is not read and implement the thing. You need to study and practice daily. You can only be respected in the society when you are a white hacker. People hate black hat. They steal, black mail am=nd take revenge on people. Don’t be a person of that kind. 

The above are the best laptops to learn hacking. These specs will let you manage to learn and master in hacking skills. Explore dark web, deep web and make few contacts over there. But don’t do any illegal stuff. You can find like-minded people in deep web. This will be a great source to master and learn new skills.
