Asus ExpertBook PM3 in review

85% Asus ExpertBook PM3 Review: Office laptop with AMD, long battery life, and Copilot+

3-year warranty and good speakers. The Asus ExpertBook PM3 is an affordable office laptop with a fast AMD Ryzen processor and advanced AI functions. Many aspects were convincing in the test, but you shouldn't expect too much from the matte IPS display.

Deal | This HP Omen Max 16 gaming laptop deal boasts a potent RTX 5070 Ti GPU at a $915 discount

Competition like the Legion Pro 5i can’t match the sub-$1200 price of the Omen Max 16. The RTX 5070 Ti graphics card elevates the HP laptop to a higher performance tier. Memory constraints sour the gaming laptop deal somewhat, but a Ryzen AI 7 350 processor provides a cost-effective solution.
