Motorola's Moto Book 60: A Budget, Stylish OLED Laptop for Everyday Use
Way back in the early 2010s, Motorola released the Atrix 4G—a phone that could be docked into a laptop and function as a mini computer. It was forward-thinking, but it didn't really take off. Jump forward to the present, and Motorola is back in the laptop business, but this time with a full-fledged Windows notebook: the Moto Book 60.
This new device does not aim to reinvent the wheel. It's straightforward, sleek design revolves around basics with some noticeable bells and whistles—like an OLED display—tossed in. Student-friendly and perfect for light usage, it makes things practical, trendy, and cost-effective.

Design and Portability
The 1.4 kg Moto Book 60 is very lightweight and portable. The aluminum construction looks and feels solid, and the one-handed operation of the lid is a pleasant touch. The bright colors of the device, such as its purple-blue and green hues, make it playful and student-friendly. A stylish Motorola "M" logo adds a finishing touch.
The laptop has all the necessities: USB-C ports, HDMI, headphone jack, and even microSD and SD card slots—perfect for students or light content creators.
A Beautiful OLED Display
One of the standout features is the 14-inch OLED display. It's crisp, colorful, and quite possibly one of the finest screens in this class. Browsing the web, watching videos, or simply working on documents all look great, thanks to rich blacks and saturated colors. Scrolling is silky smooth thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate.
Everyday Use & Performance
The Moto Book 60 performs daily functions such as browsing, writing, media use, and light multitasking with great ease. It might not be the best, however, for anything more than that—say, gaming or heavy editing. But for usual student or household use, it is more than sufficient.
Battery life is sufficient, lasting roughly 5–6 hours on brightness and usage. It is not the top-of-the-line like a MacBook, but fair enough for the average user.
Keyboard & Usability
The typing on this laptop is wonderful. The keyboard is quiet and comfortable to type on for hours. The trackpad is fine, but not quite on the level of a MacBook.
Facial recognition is quick and accurate with Windows Hello, and the 1080p camera is good enough for video chats. A privacy shutter is a nice touch.
Extra Features
Motorola throws in some handy extras for Motorola phone owners as well. There are Smart Connect and Smart Clipboard features that allow you to share files and text between devices without any hassle. It's a lovely family touch for those already part of the Motorola fold.
Final Thoughts
The Moto Book 60 isn't attempting to be a beast. It's a solid, good-looking laptop that does the fundamentals well. If you're a student or just somebody seeking a slim, good-looking, and practical laptop for everyday use, this one's worth a look—particularly with that OLED display at this price.
