Leftovers recycling Deluxe. Microsoft updates the compact Surface Laptop Go and equips the 3rd generation with an Alder Lake Core i5 processor.

Sleek Sophistication. This year's Asus ROG Flow X13 improves on many aspects compared to its predecessors. The new Flow X13 GV302XV offers AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS and Nvidia RTX 4060 smarts in a petite 13.4-inch convertible form factor. The ROG Flow X13 doesn't have many competitors, and largely lives up to expectations in our tests. However, Asus's gaming convertible demands a premium and there are a few things to watch out for.

AMD Zen 4 works its magic. The AMD Zen 4 U-series platform makes the Intel Core P-series look obsolete. Unless if you value one or two very specific Intel features, then the new AMD Framework should be a no-brainer for most users.

Quiet operation and long battery life. After reviewing the top version of the new EliteBook 845 G10, we now take a look at an exciting configuration with the low-power display and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. Thanks to lower power limits, this configuration remains much quieter when working.

Magnesium case and LTE. The EliteBook 1040 G10 is the business flagship from HP and a direct competitor to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon from Lenovo. However, the current Core i5 processor from Intel doesn't offer a lot of performance, and the display of our test unit doesn't reach the values specified by the manufacturer.

Now with a 16:10 display. Lenovo is updating its inexpensive ThinkPad E14 office notebook with new cases and 16:10 displays. Ryzen 7000 chips from AMD are installed for the processors, which are well-known processors. However, the keyboard has gotten worse.

120 Hz and 5G. HP is presenting its best, AMD-equipped business notebook in the new EliteBook 845 G10. The Ryzen 9 Pro 7940HS offers a lot of performance and the EliteBook doesn't have any weakness in other areas either. Only the RAM configuration is not optimal.

Featherweight ultrabook. The new Schenker Vision 16 premium ultrabook with a lightweight magnesium chassis has the newest Intel CPUs and a matte WQHD screen with 240 Hz. It is pretty upgradable, as usual with Schenker.

RTX 4050 and Advanced Optimus.

The only problem is the battery runtime, where you will have to make some compromises.

Magnesium and liquid metal. Schenker updates the slim Vision 16 Pro multimedia laptop with current hardware from Intel and Nvidia. The new GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop graphics chip brings a lot of gaming performance to the matte WQHD panel with 240 Hz. Considering the low weight, the maintenance options are also very good.

Annoying fan & reduced performance. Acer have updated their Swift X 14 - this time giving the multimedia laptop a fresh new case, a new OLED panel as well as new components from Intel and Nvidia. Unfortunately, the total package of this $1,400 device seems to only impress on paper and next to its relatively short battery life in everyday use, the laptop's cooling system also proves to cause some issues.

Configurable, many connections. Schenker's VIA 15 Pro is a 15.6-inch office laptop with an AMD processor and a matte WQHD IPS panel with 165 Hz. Besides two SO-DIMM slots, two SSDs can also be installed and the large battery enables very long battery runtimes.

New processor, same performance. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 is only a small update with a current Intel Raptor Lake processor that barely offers additional power plus the standard built-in, low-power display is getting on a bit now. So, is the high price justified?

Perfect Windows ultrabook?! The new MateBook X Pro comes in the familiar 2022 design but can offer a bit more computing power with a new Intel Core i7-1360P.
