Ultrabook

Featherweight ultrabook. The new Schenker Vision 16 premium ultrabook with a lightweight magnesium chassis has the newest Intel CPUs and a matte WQHD screen with 240 Hz. It is pretty upgradable, as usual with Schenker.

RTX 4050 and Advanced Optimus. The new Yoga Pro 9i 14 is Lenovo’s flagship consumer device and packed with features like the extremely bright Mini-LED panel with 165 Hz, a Core i7 processor as well as Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop inside a compact 14-inch chassis. The only problem is the battery runtime, where you will have to make some compromises.

Magnesium and liquid metal. Schenker updates the slim Vision 16 Pro multimedia laptop with current hardware from Intel and Nvidia. The new GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop graphics chip brings a lot of gaming performance to the matte WQHD panel with 240 Hz. Considering the low weight, the maintenance options are also very good.

Annoying fan & reduced performance. Acer have updated their Swift X 14 - this time giving the multimedia laptop a fresh new case, a new OLED panel as well as new components from Intel and Nvidia. Unfortunately, the total package of this $1,400 device seems to only impress on paper and next to its relatively short battery life in everyday use, the laptop's cooling system also proves to cause some issues.

Configurable, many connections. Schenker's VIA 15 Pro is a 15.6-inch office laptop with an AMD processor and a matte WQHD IPS panel with 165 Hz. Besides two SO-DIMM slots, two SSDs can also be installed and the large battery enables very long battery runtimes.

New processor, same performance. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 is only a small update with a current Intel Raptor Lake processor that barely offers additional power plus the standard built-in, low-power display is getting on a bit now. So, is the high price justified?

Perfect Windows ultrabook?! The new MateBook X Pro comes in the familiar 2022 design but can offer a bit more computing power with a new Intel Core i7-1360P. The well-known and good case, including a large display with many features, is a great companion. We will clarify the strengths and weaknesses of the MateBook X Pro 2023 in this review.

Is bigger better? It took a long time, but Apple has finally created a larger MacBook Air. Apart from the larger display, however, there are no major changes compared to its smaller sibling, the MacBook Air 13, including last year's M2 SoC.

High-end OLED laptop. Asus' new ZenBook 14X comes equipped with the powerful Intel Core i9-13900H. With an above-average robust case, an OLED display with 120 Hz and very good battery life, the ZenBook impresses, but the processor has its limits. More about that in the following review.

Business style in the midrange. The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G2 was one of our top-rated ThinkPad laptops last year. The ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 3 successor, with its Alder Lake CPU, still does many things right, but some things have also become worse in the business convertible.

90 Hz 2.8K OLED still slaps. The popular Zenbook 14 is back this year with a new Ryzen 7 7000 U-series CPU, refreshed look, and the familiar 90 Hz DCI-P3 OLED touchscreen. Overall performance, however, is more in line with a midrange Ultrabook from yesteryear.

Gaming ultrabook. Lenovo is offering its new Yoga Pro 7 14 with the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU and a matte 3K display with 120 Hz and P3 color space coverage. This turns the compact 14-inch device into a powerful multimedia device that can also run the latest games.

Fast and fabulous. For a 14-inch notebook, the Gigabyte Aero 14 OLED BMF has a lot to offer. The powerful screen is already included in the name. With a Core i7 and a Nvidia RTX 4050, strong performance is guaranteed. But the internals are not the only selling point of the 14-incher, which also offers an impressive keyboard with a decent travel.

Slimmer isn't always better. Asus has completely reworked last year's Zenbook S13 OLED, and the new 2023 model has now become lighter and also slimmer. In addition, Asus has replaced the AMD chip with an Intel Raptor Lake processor, but that isn't really an advantage. In everyday operation, the two fans are also a problem.

Dynamic AMOLED2X The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 actually beats our measurement hardware with its lighting-fast display. The same cannot be said for the Intel Core i5-1340P. This is the Raptor Lake processor's debut at Notebookcheck and it hast left us ... unimpressed.

Still powerful for the size. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile multimedia solution with H-series CPUs and GeForce RTX graphics. The latest model is one of the first to ship with the Ryzen 7 7735HS, but performance is slower than the older Intel Core i7-12700H especially in single-threaded workloads.
