Great value depending on the configuration. The 16S is a massive upgrade over last year's Dell 16 Plus. At higher configuration levels, however, prices can balloon to ridiculous levels to make the XPS 16 the better buy.

Better than a ThinkPad T14? HP's EliteBook 8 G2a is a 14-inch business laptop with a current AMD processor, excellent input devices and multiple display options. Our review unit with the LowPower display options offers excellent battery life, but quality issues affect the overall impression.

A proper top-to-bottom refresh. The Dell 14S is a significant improvement over the Dell 14 Plus especially in terms of chassis design and rigidity. It is nonetheless slightly heavier than we would like even for a 16-inch form factor.

A powerhouse with limits. The Ugreen Nexode Pro 300W Desktop Charger has what it takes to replace all the charging bricks or adapters from the desk, including the laptop charger. While there's room for improvement, it's quite efficient, and the built-in display is pretty versatile.

Two ports short of perfect. MOKiN's 13-in-1 USB-C docking station is a 160 W GaN+ charger with three 100 W USB Type-C ports built into a neat USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 docking station. While the LCD initially seemed like a novelty, especially given its cutesy animations, it has proven to be invaluable when it comes to saving charge cycles on my expensive tech. What's more, it's just light and compact enough to warrant taking with you when travelling.

Intel Wildcat companion. The Chuwi UniBook features a new Intel Wildcat Lake processor, a matte IPS panel and plenty of ports. But you only get 8 GB RAM, which is not much for Windows 11. Is it really a suitable MacBook Neo competitor or are there too many compromises? Update: Chuwi announces a new UniBook SKU with 100 % sRGB screen

Luxury for less. The XPS 13 is now a fraction of the price to attract users on tighter budgets. Do the inevitable cut corners tarnish the XPS name or is this the new sub $1000 laptop to beat?
