The 6T element. OnePlus has announced its latest flagship killer, which is subtly different from its predecessor that we reviewed back in August.

Intel Core i7-8550U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 13.3" | 1 kg

Small but powerful. In the same way you should not judge a book by its cover it would be premature to judge a notebook's powerfulness by its total height, and the Tulpar T5 V18.1 by the Turkish barebone reseller Monster is living proof thereof. The 15-inch gaming notebook features a super thin metal chassis that manages to house a six-core CPU paired with a high-end GPU. Let's find out whether the cooling system is up to the task.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (Laptop) | 15.6" | 2.1 kg

The better and cheaper X1. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G6 has joined its WQHD HDR and Core i7 equipped sibling in our offices for review. The G6 is the entry-level model of current touchscreen-equipped Carbon X1 devices. The G6 is free from the thermal issues from which its sibling suffered thanks to its less powerful CPU, but this comes at a cost to the WQHD HDR display. Despite this drawback, the G6 provides a more rounded overall experience than its more expensive sibling.

Mediatek MT6580M | ARM Mali-400 MP2 | 5.45" | 172 g

A good first try. MSI wants to expand its lineup to include more business laptops and the PS42 represents the manufacturer's first attempt at a narrow-bezel 14-inch offering for business users. The result is a unique system that is on par with the XPS 13 in a few ways but with a longer list of flaws.
Intel Core i7-8550U | NVIDIA GeForce MX150 | 14" | 1.2 kg

Now with a hexa-core CPU. Despite using the most current components, the former top-gaming brand Alienware has had more and more difficulties standing up against the competitors. Find out in our review why this effort is not quite sufficient anymore for being a winner.

Intel Core i9-8950HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Laptop) | 17.3" | 4 kg

Expensive for what it is. At 299 Euros (~$345), the Sharp B10 is at the classic price level of a mid-range device. However, at that price the equipment is not that good, so did the newcomer to the Western smartphone market miscalculate here?
Mediatek MT6750 | ARM Mali-T860 MP2 | 5.7" | 175 g

Déjà-vu. HP’s latest 14-inch notebook boasts a quad-core processor, 8 GB of dual-channel RAM and Intel Optane Memory. Unfortunately, the display is bitterly disappointing.
Intel Core i5-8250U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 14" | 1.5 kg

Refinement. The Precision 5530 is, in many ways, what the Precision 5520 should have been. While the updated machine still struggles with thermal throttling, CPU stability and performance are improved. The GPU has also been upgraded without much sacrifice to heat output. The overall experience is much better.
Intel Xeon E-2176M | NVIDIA Quadro P2000 | 15.6" | 2 kg

Not that flexible. Lenovo's Flex 5 is an affordable 2-in-1 that looks and feels great for the price with plenty of integrated ports. Unfortunately, the dim display and poor Turbo Boost performance leave a lot to be desired.

Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (Laptop) | 15.6" | 2.5 kg

Up in the air. The ProBook 645 G4 comes with a powerful AMD APU, good input devices and a fast NVMe SSD. Despite its 900 to1000-Euro (~$1051 to $1167) price tag, the device is not free of flaws: The notebook has poor battery life and a dim display with a poor contrast ratio.
AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U | AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 | 14" | 1.7 kg

A lot is new inside, but nothing new outside. Acer has equipped the TravelMate P2510 with an i5-8250U from Intel's eighth generation of chips and even topped that with a dedicated Nvidia GeForce MX130, which provides the TravelMate with an additional graphics boost. But how does the performance really look? Can you play the most current games with it? What else has improved, or has anything even become worse?
Intel Core i5-8250U | NVIDIA GeForce MX130 | 15.6" | 2.1 kg

Premium for less? With the IdeaPad 530S, Lenovo has further slimmed down and improved the model in addition to adopting the latest generation of components: a Core i5-8250U, 8 GB RAM, and an FHD anti-glare display. Is this the XPS for the rest of us?

Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Laptop) | 17.3" | 3.7 kg

Go penning. Samsung’s high-end phablet comes with a revolutionary S Pen, which can be used to trigger the camera remotely or switch slides during a presentation, thanks to its Bluetooth capabilities.

Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q | 17.3" | 2.4 kg

Multimedia oddball. Lenovo has outfitted the first 15-inch laptop in its 700 series with exotic hardware, including an i7-7700HQ with a TDP reduced to 35 watts and a 1050 Ti Max-Q. The contender has a lot to offer—a great display, long battery life—but the proverbial fly in the ointment could be a no-go for some people.
Intel Core i7-7700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q | 15.6" | 1.9 kg

TravelMate: The name speaks for itself. What do you expect from a "TravelMate"? A reliable companion that does not run out of juice while on the go and an 08/15 case that is sufficiently resistant to everyday signs of use. The TravelMate offers all of this; however, Acer bargains away a better rating due to some downsides.
Intel Core i7-8550U | NVIDIA GeForce MX130 | 14" | 1.8 kg

Shooting Star With the ROG Strix GL504, Asus introduces a 15-inch high-end notebook that brings almost all the features you could wish for in a gaming platform. A 144-Hz panel? Check. Thin display bezel? Check. RGB keyboard? Check. Hexa-core CPU and DirectX-12 GPU? Check. We explain in our test why this is still not quite sufficient for a "very good" evaluation.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Laptop) | 15.6" | 2.5 kg

Awesome hardware, mixed performance. Kaby Lake-G has been impressive thus far, but its overall performance depends wholly on how OEMs implement the hardware. The HP Spectre x360 15 is unfortunately not the best example of the Intel-AMD platform with its substantial throttling issues.

Old book, new page. Huawei's all-aluminum 15.6-inch MateBook D gets Kaby Lake-R hardware and GeForce MX150 graphics. How does the multimedia notebook compare to its otherwise identical predecessor and did Huawei do enough to differentiate the MateBook D from the stiff competition in this segment?
Intel Core i5-8250U | NVIDIA GeForce MX150 | 15.6" | 1.8 kg

Can't take the heat. The Precision 3530 is the latest entry-level workstation from Dell. Powered by an Nvidia Quadro P600 and a new Xeon CPU from Intel, the Precision 3530 is a capable machine. Heat management and fan noise leave quite a bit to be desired, however.
Intel Xeon E-2176M | NVIDIA Quadro P600 | 15.6" | 2.3 kg
