Peak performer. The XMG Apex 17 proves that gaming laptops don't have to produce excessive noise: Despite high-level performance (Ryzen 7 7840HS, GeForce RTX 4060) the computer manages to run quietly. This is accompanied by well-rounded specs and decent battery life.

More ports and noisier fans. Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio is a pretty unique product and the second generation gets much faster components as well as more ports, but the foldable display is identical. This is also the case for the non-existent maintenance options as well as the high price. Update: Additional battery test results

Raptor X. Lenovo upgrades its ThinkPad X13 Gen 4 with an OLED screen and 5G. With these premium features, it is much closer to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon - without giving the X13 any unique idenity.

Quiet operation and long battery life. After reviewing the top version of the new EliteBook 845 G10, we now take a look at an exciting configuration with the low-power display and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. Thanks to lower power limits, this configuration remains much quieter when working.

Asus ROG Ally alternative. For around US$1000, the Aokzoe A1 costs as much as many full-fledged laptops. It certainly performs like one, but the fan noise and integrated buttons leave a lot to be desired.

Tame Raptor. With the ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4, Lenovo has released the newest member of its traditional business convertible series. This new model has a retooled design with much improved battery life numbers, but a puny performance.

Affordable business laptop with a big screen. Lenovo expands its ThinkPad E-series lineup with a 16-inch version. The new ThinkPad E16 G1 uses a familiar AMD Ryzen processor in combination with a bright WQHD panel.

T raptor. The 2023 version of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 uses Intel CPUs of the Raptor Lake series. With the new CPUs, the power usage seems to be lower compared to the predecessor, but apart from this, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 Intel does not seem like a big upgrade.

Magnesium case and LTE. The EliteBook 1040 G10 is the business flagship from HP and a direct competitor to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon from Lenovo. However, the current Core i5 processor from Intel doesn't offer a lot of performance, and the display of our test unit doesn't reach the values specified by the manufacturer.

Freedom of choice. Alienware's gaming notebook provides an extremely flexible hardware configuration. Our test device offers lots of performance (Core i7-13700HX, GeForce RTX 4060) and a decent level of equipment. Battery runtimes, however, are unable to keep pace with the times.

Shimmering lightweight. While hardly weighing 1 kg (~2.2 lb), the subnotebook from LG is very well equipped with the Intel Core i7-1360P, 32 GB of working memory, and OLED display. Aside from the performance, the Gram Style also offers some other qualities. What immediate strikes us, is the case surface that can shimmer in all rainbow colors. And the laptop is also able to operate completely quietly - aside from some strange exception.

AMD's 3D V-Cache now inside a laptop. The ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D is the first gaming laptop to feature AMD's newest Ryzen 9 7945HX3D processor which, for the first time ever, relies on 3D cache.

Now with a 16:10 display. Lenovo is updating its inexpensive ThinkPad E14 office notebook with new cases and 16:10 displays. Ryzen 7000 chips from AMD are installed for the processors, which are well-known processors. However, the keyboard has gotten worse.

Distance runner. The Aorus 15 BSF - a QHD gaming laptop - offers good performance (Core i7-13700H, GeForce RTX 4070) with a great selection of features (16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 165 Hz panel, Thunderbolt 4). Amazing runtimes complete the setup.

120 Hz and 5G. HP is presenting its best, AMD-equipped business notebook in the new EliteBook 845 G10. The Ryzen 9 Pro 7940HS offers a lot of performance and the EliteBook doesn't have any weakness in other areas either. Only the RAM configuration is not optimal.

Enduring. A Ryzen 5 7535HS, GeForce RTX 4050, USB 4, and a bright 16:10 display (16-inch, WUXGA, 165 Hz, G-Sync) are the highlights of the relatively inexpensive (€1,250) Nitro 16. Under the right conditions, the already very good battery run times of the predecessor further surpassed. This review evaluates the performance and other characteristics of this alternate configuration.

Affordable black box. Lenovo sells their more affordable ThinkPad laptops for business customers as the ThinkPad L series. The ThinkPad L14 Gen 4 AMD is a budget model with AMD - though with Ryzen 7030. The fact that Lenovo does not use Ryzen 7040 does not make the L14 into a bad laptop, but it has some negative consequences.

Business companion. The compact office laptop by Lenovo convinces us with low emissions, long battery life numbers and a 16 inch screen win the work-friendly 16:10 ratio (1,920 x 1,200, IPS, low power). Part of the package are two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a WWAN option.

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.

AMD transformation-artist. ThinkPad Yoga is the name of Lenovo's business convertibles. The ThinkPad L series is the affordable enterprise series, which means the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga G4 AMD is a budget hybrid.

Short battery life and less hardware. Lenovo is aiming for the crown in the category of 16-inch multimedia laptops with its new Yoga Pro 9i 16. Its trump card is supposed to be the high-resolution and bright mini-LED panel. However, there are unusual weaknesses in the build quality and, in contrast to the 14-inch model, features such as Advanced Optimus are missing.
