A Dynabook dinosaur? The Portege X40-K is the company's premium business laptop retailing for over $1400 USD and yet it comes with a display that's found on budget laptops for almost half the price. The model could certainly use more updates beyond just the new 12th gen CPU.

The expensive Air has to throttle earlier. After we tested the basic model, we now also got our hands on the faster version of the new MacBook Air with 16 GB of RAM, a large 1-TB SSD, and the faster 10-core GPU version of the M2 and ran it through our tests. However, the graphics update is particularly disappointing, since the passively cooled MacBook Air M2 needs to throttle its performance quickly.

ThinkPad meets XPS 13 - with Ryzen. Why is there no ThinkPad X1 with AMD CPUs? That's because there's now a premium series exclusively for AMD with the ThinkPad Z series. The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 G1 presents many arguments in its favor in our review, and it's one of the best compact laptops so far in 2022.
AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U | AMD Radeon 660M | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

Fast, but loud! Acer's Nitro 5 series is known for its affordable gaming machines. The latest Alder Lake CPU and a fast GeForce RTX 3060 aim to put this particular model on solid footing. However, there is a lot of criticism in terms of noise. More details can be found in the following review.

Entry-level GeForce RTX 3050 gaming. After having just reviewed the TUF Dash F15 with GeForce RTX 3070 graphics, let's see how it compares to the less expensive GeForce RTX 3050 option. The cheaper GPU is slower, of course, but it disappoints in other key areas as well.

Now 20 to 50 percent faster. The 2022 update includes a higher resolution webcam, 5G support, and faster Alder Lake-U CPU options all with vPro support. Are the differences enough to propel it over the already excellent Latitude 9420 2-in-1?

Endurance runner. The Inspiron scores points with a powerful Ryzen 5 APU (Barcelo), 16 GB of RAM, and very good battery life. Positive: USB-C Power Delivery is supported. Dell has chosen a 14-inch display in the more work-friendly 16:10 format here (1,920x1,200 pixels).
AMD Ryzen 5 5625U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 | 14.00" | 1.6 kg

The model offers some of the latest processors available including Intel 12th gen Core-P and Core-H CPUs and discrete Intel Arc graphics.
Intel Core i7-1260P | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 16.00" | 2 kg

Affordable Intel 12th gen. Vaio has updated its FE14 series with Intel Alder Lake-U options. Since the chassis remains unchanged year-over-year, some parts of the design are feeling outdated by today's high Ultrabook standards.
Intel Core i5-1235U | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs | 14.10" | 1.6 kg
