Out of its teething troubles? LG's new Gram has stayed true to the series. From the outside, barely anything has changed about the slim 17-inch device.

OLED touchscreen and a hefty price tag. Dell has presented the XPS 14, a new multimedia laptop of which we have tested the high-end variant with an OLED panel and the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop. At almost US$3,000, the device costs an arm and a leg and especially when it comes to performance, you shouldn't set your expectations too high.

Full throttle. Power is something the 16-inch laptop doesn’t lack: the GeForce RTX 4080 and Core i9-14900HX achieved their new best results in some of our tests. The rest of the specs are likewise compelling: 32 GB of RAM, Thunderbolt 4, a bright QHD display (Dolby Vision, G-Sync, 240Hz, DCI-P3 coverage). Is this the perfect laptop for gamers and creators?
