Speedy allrounder. After the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 inside the Zenbook S16 only fulfilled its performance potential to a limited extent, we are daring to try again by taking a look at the VivoBook S 14. In doing so, this also raises the question of whether the Radeon 890M iGPU can come close to the Intel Arc 8.

Whether you're connecting a single-board computer, a handheld or a smartphone, the CrowView Note allows lots of devices to be conveniently used as a laptop. At first glance, the 14-inch monitor with a keyboard and a touchpad looks just like a normal laptop—but without a processor or RAM.

The ThinkPad T480 successor. For many years, it seemed like ThinkPads of the T series would only become less modular. This ends now, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 returns to a design with two SO-DIMM slots. It is a great office laptop, even though Meteor Lake U could be faster.

Ryzen AI 300 beats Meteor Lake. Asus now also offers its ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming/multimedia hybrids with the new Zen 5 processors from AMD. We have tested the version with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and the dedicated GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop. It continues to feature the same wonderful 240-Hz OLED screen—as well as an annoying third fan.

Powerful, premium and professional. The HP Elite 1000 family is lauded for its portability and auxiliary features that business users can appreciate. The latest Elite x360 1040 G11 continues the trend, but a bigger cooling solution probably wouldn't hurt to keep those core temperatures down.

Is this 3-year old design reaching its limits? There's no denying how versatile the Framework Laptop 13.5 can be now that it's gone through several generations of Intel and AMD CPUs without any major design changes. The improved display and integrated graphics help keep the model competitive, but the cooling solution is perhaps showing its age.
