Portable & whisper-quiet. Huawei's MateBook D 15 office laptop convinces with a low price of 549 Euros, remains exceptionally quiet with high system performance, and offers a chic metal casing with a sufficiently bright matte IPS display. The keyboard and touchpad of the very portable 15.6-inch notebook are also convincing, but the fast LPDDR4X RAM is not expandable.

Humble integrated graphics with a punch. Even without a dedicated GPU, the VivoBook S15 manages to deliver performance rivalling that of some entry-level gaming laptops. Thanks to the OLED display, it is particularly well equipped to handle photo and video editing work. The machine is also able to offer astonishingly great performance in other areas.

Ada Lovelace for everyone. The high-end models of Nvidia's new laptop GPUs recently debuted and are now followed by the mid-range RTX 4060 - a card we were able to test in the MSI Katana 17 B13V.

Crème de la Crème. Equipped with a mobile RTX 4090, Core i9-13980HX, and 240-Hz 18-inch display, Asus offers the fastest, currently available components for laptop gamers in the Scar 18. In our detailed review, we evaluate how the whole package performs in our test and whether it's also worth its hefty price.

All-rounder. Lenovo's office notebook offers a strong Ryzen 5 APU, moderate emissions and good battery runtimes. Another positive aspect: USB-C power delivery is supported.

As quiet as a whisper. The 14-inch Asus F415EA features a Tiger Lake processor, barely warms up, and makes very little noise. The installed FHD screen, however, turns out to be a wrong choice.

The gray fox. With its ThinkPad P workstation line, Lenovo has given the 2022 model a decent makeover: Instead of two models, there is now only a classic workstation in the form of the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 G1. It succeeds the ThinkPad P15 G2 and P17 G2.

Can Intel's 13th gen keep up with AMD and Apple? Intel's new 13th gen mobile processors are finally available and we review the Raptor Lake Core i7-1360P. It can achieve higher clocks compared to Alder Lake thanks to some optimizations, but there are no significant changes.

Portable "heavyweight". Great stamina for on the go – this is something we can attest to for the Ultra PC 16. Its smaller 14-inch brother offers even more of that, lasting five hours longer than the LG gram 14 on a single charge. In this review, we'll discuss how the Ultra PC 14 achieves this it and why its performance comes close to that of a 35-watt Intel 12th gen CPU.

Elegant. The 14-inch laptop from Huawei includes a Tiger Lake processor, brings an elegant metal case, produces only little noise, and offers a long battery life. At the time of our test, the whole package is available starting from 600 Euros (~$652).

It hardly gets any cheaper. The GeoFlex 140 is a convertible that is offered for less than 200 Euros (~$218) at some shopping events. You do not get much performance for that, but you get a 2-in-1 laptop with Windows 11 Home license and one year of Microsoft Office 365. If you get both via Microsoft, they already cost more than the convertible.

A budget device for the office. The 15.6-inch laptop from Asus has a Tiger Lake processor on board, barely gets warm, and can be had for around 350 US dollars. The operating system at hand is Windows 10 Pro (an upgrade to Windows 11 is possible).
Intel Core i3-1115G4 | Intel UHD Graphics Xe G4 48EUs | 15.60" | 1.8 kg

Now without a stereo jack. Microsoft is now offering the Surface Pro 9 with either Intel or Qualcomm CPUs. The updated Alder Lake-U processor offers significantly more CPU power and the convertible now supports Wi-Fi 6E, but the stereo jack has been dropped.

Room for improvement. With a Core i5-12500H CPU and a GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU, all current titles look smooth on the matte FHD screen (300 Hz). The CPU and GPU are accompanied by a fast PCIe-4 SSD (1 TB), 16 GB of RAM, and a Thunderbolt 4 port. A copy of the Windows operating system is not included.

Better than the X1 Carbon. Lenovo refuses to offer its X1 models with AMD CPUs - perhaps there is an exclusive contract with Intel. The next best model with the AMD Ryzen 6000 is the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G3. Even though it is positioned below the X1 Carbon in Lenovo's lineup, it is better in many ways.

Two performance cores for 15-Watt CPUs. Intel’s Alder Lake-U chips in the 15W segment are primarily designed for thin and light laptops. However, there can be massive performance differences depending on the implementation and it does not always make sense for the manufacturers to use U-series CPUs, either.

1.000 nits panel. The EliteBook scores with a powerful, energy-efficient Rembrandt APU, USB 4, LTE modem and very good battery runtimes. HP installs a very bright 13.3-inch screen in the work-friendly 16:10 format (1,920 x 1,200) along with an optional privacy filter.
AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U | AMD Radeon 680M | 13.30" | 1.3 kg

Glamorous. The defining trait of the Spectre x360 16 is a large 16-inch touchscreen display in a work-friendly 16:10 format (3,072 x 1,920). An input pen (HP Tilt Pen) is included. A 5 MP camera also comes as a plus for video conferencing.

Alder Lake and RTX A2000. With the ZBook Power 15, HP offers a mobile workstation in the entry-level segment. In addition to the current Alder Lake CPUs, professional GPUs from Nvidia are also used, but only chips up to the RTX A2000.
