The Best Laptops of Spring 2022 - 55 Notebooks in Review

All current laptop reviews in comparison. A total of 55 notebooks of various categories made it to our lab in the past three months. From laptops equipped with Intel's latest Alder Lake-H amd AMD's Rembrandt processors to gaming notebooks with powerful RTX 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti GPUs. Find out which ones performed best, and which ones our editors recommend.

During this year’s CES in Las Vegas, Intel introduced their Alder Lake-H, U, and P-series of notebook processors. Their most important feature is the hybrid architecture combining fast performance cores with particularly energy-efficient efficiency cores. Their number and individual performance varies based on CPU model allowing for a very broad usability spectrum. Alder Lake-H processors are particularly interesting for high-performance laptops, and we already had the Alder Lake-H-based gaming laptops in review.

AMD, too, introduced a new generation of processors. The Ryzen 6000 Mobile series is based on the Zen 3+ architecture for the CPU and the RDNA 2 architecture for the integrated GPU. AMD also updated its line-up of dedicated GPU, and the new Radeon RX 6000-series is supposed to take Nvidia’s mid-range and high-end chips head-on. Particularly exciting are gaming laptops that are completely based on AMD products and feature both a CPU and GPU made by AMD, and we already had the pleasure to review a few of those.

And last but not least we have to talk about Nvidia. Team Green released their GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti chips, two improved versions of previous high-end GPUs supposed to defend the high-end position in the market. In our reviews, we found the new chips to be up to 20 % faster than their respective predecessors.

The Best of the Best: These Laptops Achieved the Highest Scores

Of all notebooks reviewed in the past three months two managed to score a whopping 90 %. The first is the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G2 equipped with AMD’s Ryzen 7 5850U CPU and Vega 8 GPU, a portable powerhouse for professional users. In our review, we found this laptop to offer a very high system performance, a very long battery life, and a very good display. US prices start at just $1,200.

The second is the HP ZBook Fury G8, a large and powerful workstation laptop. Our review unit came with Intel’s powerful i9 CPU and Nvidia’s very capable RTX A3000 GPU. Benefits include its incredibly robust and sturdy case, its incredible performance, its excellent input devices, its high-end DreamColor display, and its immense connectivity. Even the most demanding creators will find that the ZBook Fury G8 can meet their needs.

With a score of 89 % we find six more devices that managed to secure a “Very Good” rating. The Asus ExpertBook B7 Flip is a high-end convertible aimed at professional users looking for a flexible and versatile everyday companion with touchscreen, stylus support, two Thunderbolt ports, and a 5G modem. Lenovo’s ThinkPad P1 G4 is made for users looking for utmost performance. Its various SKUs offer almost workstation levels of performance while retaining a good portability. The Razer Blade 15 Early 2022 comes with Intel’s Alder Lake-H CPUs and Nvidia’s latest GPUs. Our review unit feature the high-end RTX 3080 Ti chip. No other devices manages to bridge the gap between portability and highest gaming performance as elegantly and completely as the Razer Blade 15.

When it comes to innovative devices Microsoft is almost always ahead of the game. The Surface Laptop Studio features a unique hinge allowing for a much improved touch input experience with a display that swivels towards the user. It also features modern technology for enthusiasts. Huawei, a newcomer to the laptop market, attempts to entice users with the new MateBook 13s, a particularly compact 13.4-inch notebook with a 3:2 display. Our review highlighted the various benefits, from its high-end aluminum case to its high levels of performance and its long battery life. And last but not least we find the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, a laptop for professionals looking for an ultra-portable versatile companion without any major compromises.

Just one percentage point below sits Lenovo’s ThinkPad L13 Yoga G2, a laptop combining the versatility of Yoga convertibles with the qualities of traditional Thinkpad laptops and the affordability of Lenovo’s L-series of Thinkpads. For an even lower price, you can also finde the Acer Swift 3 SF314, a compact 14-inch subnotebook with a good display, long battery life, and high system performance. Prices start at just $700. Gamers may want to take a closer look at the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16 G7, a gaming notebook equipped with Intel’s Alder Lake-H processor paired with a fast GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU, a combination powerful enough to run even the latest games smoothly on maximum details. We also liked its input devices and its WQHD display. The AMD-equipped SKU of the ThinkBook 13s G3 offers an attractive package with great case, good display, long battery life, and high performance. Schenker’s Vision 14 is a very compact yet powerful notebook sitting in the space between traditional subnotebooks, multimedia notebooks, and gaming notebooks. We liked its overall performance but found its battery life to be lacking. Gaming performance without any compromises can be found in MSI's GE76, equipped with an Alder Lake-H CPU, an RTX 3080 Ti GPU, and a 360 Hz display. In our review this device performed so well it outperformed practically its entire high-end gaming competition. And last but not least we shall not forget the AMD-version of the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 G2, which also managed to secure a “Very Good” rating.

Our Personal Favorites – Editors’ Choice Awards of Spring 2022

Based on the scores achieved in this time period we ask our senior editors for their favorites and assign editors’ choice awards. As usual we reward laptops that stand out from the competition by their overall package, their individual performance in specific categories, or their particularly noteworthy price-performance ratio, and that our editors considered to represent particularly attractive options in their respective categories.

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16 G7

The upgrade to Intel’s latest Alder Lake-H-series of processors boosted the Legion 5 Pro 16’s performance quite significantly. And Lenovo did not stop their and improved its GPU prowess as well by choosing Nvidia’s latest RTX 3070 Ti GPU that performed around 20 % faster than its non-Ti counterpart. In this configuration, the Legion 5 Pro enters the realm of high-end gaming notebooks capable of running all current games smoothly in maximum details on its display. Speaking of which, the high-resolution 16-inch WQHD display (2560 x 1600) offers a very high peak brightness of 500 nits, a high contrast ratio, and accurate colors. It also offers relatively low response times and runs at a high refresh rate of 165 Hz with G-Sync support. With that the Legion 5 Pro can take on even the most powerful of gaming notebooks you can throw at it. Availability is very limited at the moment, and the device is currently not available for purchase in the United States.

Huawei MateBook 13s

The Matebook 13s is an attractive device, not least thanks to its low price. Our recently reviewed MateBook 13s laptop featured an Intel Core i5-11300H CPU (Tiger Lake H35), 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD which, at the time of writing, was available for just 799 Euros in Europe. In our review, we found this 1.3 kg device with just 16 mm of heft to offer a very robust metal case, good input devices, a very good display running at high resolution of 2520 x 1860, high peak brightness, a high contrast ratio, accurate colors, a display ratio of 3:2 that is of particular benefit for office tasks, and excellent system performance. It also offered a battery life of between 9 and 11 hours in our real-world tests (browsing the web, video playback) and thus a great portability. Give its current price the MateBook 13s more than deserves our endorsement.

Lenovo ThinkPad L13 G2 AMD

Robust, compact, and long-lasting: Lenovo’s ThinkPad L13 G2 AMD. You may be able to notice its affordable L-series pedigree in its case. However, it should still offer more than enough rigidity and stability to last for many years of intensive use. Its input devices are typical for a ThinkPad and very well suited for avid typists. We found the AMD version to offer good performance paired with a battery life of between 10 and 15 hours for great portability at overall very low levels of noise. Our only gripe remains our review unit’s matte FHD display with a maximum brightness of just 270 nits more suitable for simple word processing and research tasks rather than displaying colorful photos. At the time of writing, the AMD-based SKU of Lenovo’s ThinkPad L13 G2 was not yet available in North America.
