Motorola isn’t the first brand that comes to mind when thinking about high-quality laptops. A sleek smartphone? Absolutely. A foldable device with character? Definitely. However, a sleek, lightweight notebook that excels in both aesthetics and affordability caught me off guard. The Moto Book 60 Pro stands out as one of the most understatedly remarkable laptops in its category.
As the wider laptop market struggles with rising costs and inconsistent quality, Motorola’s entry feels like a breath of fresh air. It offers solid performance, stylish design, and an accessible price point when competitors are charging premium rates for less.
The design still turns heads with the “Wait, Motorola made this?” reaction
Vikhyaat Vivek / Digital TrendsThe Moto Book 60 Pro immediately wins you over with its aesthetics. It looks fantastic. Motorola maintained a minimalist approach with a unibody aluminum design, a featherweight 1.39kg frame, and Pantone-selected colors like Wedgewood and Bronze Green. I used the Bronze Green model, which consistently sparked curiosity about its manufacturer. Mentioning it was a Motorola often elicited genuine astonishment.
This is a genuine ultrabook with a build quality that balances luxury and portability. At first glance, it could easily be mistaken for a Windows counterpart to the MacBook Neo. Interestingly, this isn’t a new debut; the Moto Book 60 Pro originally launched in India back in September 2025.
The OLED screen is the standout feature
Another major appeal is the display. Motorola equipped it with a 14-inch 2.8K OLED panel featuring a 120Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and peak brightness reaching 1100 nits. For a device starting around $680 at select retailers, this offers exceptional value, particularly when laptop prices have become increasingly inflated.

Vibrant colors, deep contrast, smooth scrolling, and ample brightness make the display feel dynamic rather than just adequate for its price bracket. This panel genuinely enhances the entire user experience, making media consumption more engaging and daily tasks feel more refined.
The Moto Book 60 Pro offers undeniable value
Where the laptop transitions from a pleasant discovery to a compelling recommendation is its pricing. Motorola introduced the base Moto Book 60 Pro with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The upgraded Core Ultra 7 255H variant, featuring 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of storage, is priced just under $900.
The remaining specifications are equally robust. This model includes a 60Wh battery, 65W USB-C charging, a 1080p IR camera, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 7, and a generous array of ports.
Vikhyaat Vivek / Digital TrendsWhile these aren’t Intel’s newest chips, the Series 2 processors still provide reliable performance, good power efficiency, and consistent stability, even in 2026. This is particularly relevant given the current market landscape, where premium ultrabooks with comparable screens and modern Intel or ARM processors often carry significantly higher price tags, exacerbated by memory cost hikes.
The primary limitation is availability. Like its predecessor, the Moto Book 60 is currently exclusive to the Indian market, which restricts its global impact.
Lenovo’s design influence is evident, but this isn’t a criticism—it’s context. Motorola isn’t creating a new laptop category; it’s refining an existing blueprint with superior aesthetics, an outstanding display, and better pricing, which is often sufficient. The Moto Book 60 Pro isn’t groundbreaking; it’s simply well-crafted, visually appealing, and affordably priced. In 2026, such a device deserves wider availability.
