Motorola is not the name I expect to see on a genuinely good laptop. A stylish phone? Sure. A foldable with some personality? Absolutely. But a thin-and-light notebook that actually feels well judged on both design and value was a genuine surprise. And yet, the Moto Book 60 Pro is one of the more quietly impressive laptops in its segment.
With the broader laptop market being in a mess, Motorola’s laptops feel refreshing. It is capable, attractive, and still approachable at a time when pricing elsewhere has become increasingly rough.
The design still does the “wait, Motorola made this?” thing
The first thing the Moto Book 60 Pro gets right is the part you notice immediately. It looks good. Really good. Motorola kept the formula light and clean with a full-metal body, a slim 1.39kg chassis, and Pantone-curated finishes like Wedgewood and Bronze Green. I spent some time using the latter, and it genuinely had people guessing the laptop’s brand. Revealing the Motorola name almost always got a surprised reaction.
This is a proper thin-and-light notebook with a build that feels both premium and portable. At a glance, you would not be wrong to mistake it for a new Windows alternative to the MacBook Neo. The only catch is that the Moto Book 60 Pro is not exactly a brand-new release. It actually debuted in India back in September 2025.
OLED display is the real flex here
The second thing that makes the Moto Book 60 Pro easy to warm up to is the screen. Motorola has given it a 14-inch 2.8K OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, and up to 1100 nits of peak brightness. For a machine starting at around $680 at some retailers, that is genuinely strong value, especially in a year when laptop pricing has gone completely off the rails.
And yes, it looks the part in actual use. Colors pop, contrast is excellent, scrolling feels smooth, and the extra brightness helps the panel feel lively instead of merely “good for the price.” This is the sort of display that flat-out elevates the whole laptop. It makes movies look better, browsing feel richer, and the machine itself feel more premium every time you open the lid.
Moto Book 60 Pro’s value is hard to ignore
This is where the laptop stops being a pleasant surprise and starts becoming a strong recommendation. Motorola launched the base Moto Book 60 Pro with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. Meanwhile, the higher-end Core Ultra 7 255H model with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of storage comes in at just under $900.
The rest of the specs are solid, too. This model packs a 60Wh battery, 65W USB-C charging, a 1080p IR webcam, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 7, and a surprisingly healthy port selection.
These are not the latest chips Intel has to offer, but the Series 2 processors still deliver capable performance, decent efficiency, and overall reliability, even in 2026. That is especially true when you look at what is happening elsewhere in the market. Premium thin-and-light machines with similarly attractive displays and modern Intel or ARM chips are often landing at far uglier prices now, especially once memory inflation enters the picture.
The catch, of course, is availability. Like the earlier Moto Book 60, this is an India-only play for now, and that limits how much noise it will make globally.
Lenovo’s influence is also hard to miss, which is not really a complaint so much as context. Motorola is not reinventing the laptop here. It is borrowing a solid blueprint and giving it better styling, a great screen, and sharper value, which honestly feels enough. The Moto Book 60 Pro isn’t revolutionary; it’s just good, attractive, and priced well. In 2026, this is something that should’ve been accessible in other regions.
