Slim aluminum. Yet another offshoot of the Asus Zenbook product line is to attract quality-conscious customers who also value high mobility. An energy-saving Haswell CPU alongside its integrated graphics, paired with a high-capacity battery, and an ultra-thin aluminum casing - is that enough for a new record in terms of endurance and battery runtime?

Troubled professional. Asus' new Pro laptops are aimed at business professionals - integrating a lot of security features - while also being multimedia powerhouses with a DVD burner and the new GeForce 840M GPU. Unfortunately though, the Taiwanese company has failed to meet its own quality requirements, forcing us to repeat some of the tests with a second Pro B551LG device.

Wickedly hot. Most gaming machines are fast, but also heavy and bulky. MSI thinks that unnecessary, and presents us the thinnest and lightest 17-inch laptop in the world, according to its advertisement. A quick look at the specs nurtures doubts: Has the manufacturer managed to keep temperature and noise development under control?
Intel Core i7-4700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M | 17.30" | 2.7 kg

Kepler update. Eurocom updates the 15.6-inch X3 with the latest Nvidia Kepler offerings. We put the beastly GTX 880M GPU to the test under our usual stressful conditions and games to see if the upgrade is worth a look.
Intel Core i7-4930MX | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M | 15.60" | 3.5 kg

Heart transplant. The new Apple MacBook Air 13 Mid 2014 is once again an evolution instead of a revolution, because there are not many differences compared to the last version. We focus on the inner values. A new Intel Core i5-4260U Haswell CPU clocked at 1.4 GHz in combination with 4 GB RAM and a large 256 GB SSD. Sounds appealing.
Intel Core i5-4260U | Intel HD Graphics 5000 | 13.30" | 1.4 kg

Portable office. Light, handy, and strong computing power is how Fujitsu's new 13.3-inch laptop for professional users on-the-move can be described. The integrated LTE modem supplies Internet access remote from Wi-Fi. Read in our report whether the Lifebook is compelling in its whole.

Silent Temptation. The HP Pro X2 410 is not a basic 2-in-1. It’s running a Core i5 CPU, has a fast SSD and is completely fanless. This is a ground-breaking setup, but does it work?
Intel Core i5-4202Y | Intel HD Graphics 4200 | 11.60" | 1.6 kg

Battalion power. Aside from the MSI-based Valkyrie series, the iBuyPower Battalion series is a less expensive alternative based on Clevo barebones. We take this $1000 gamer for a spin to see if it is worth the entry-level price.
Intel Core i7-4900MQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M | 17.30" | 3.1 kg

Flat companion. Flat gaming is popular. No, we don't mean 2D games, but thin gaming notebooks like the MSI GS60. The 15.6-inch device is supposed to provide excellent mobility with a height of almost 2 centimeters and powerful hardware. Our review shows you why this is going to be a hot ride.
Intel Core i7-4710HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M | 15.60" | 2 kg

Gaming to go. Haswell CPU and Maxwell graphics card make it possible: The UX32LN combines the performance of a fast multimedia laptop with the mobility and elegance of an Ultrabook.

Intel Core i5-4200U | NVIDIA GeForce 840M | 13.30" | 1.4 kg

More pixels. After the WXGA version of the ThinkPad X240 showed its qualities in our review, we now have a look at the high-end version with a Full HD display. But are the additional pixels really worth the premium price?
Intel Core i7-4600U | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | 12.50" | 1.5 kg

Dignified. Laptops featuring strong graphics are a dime a dozen. However, only a few sport a matte IPS screen, first-rate subwoofer sound, and a quality aluminum chassis. Does Asus have what it takes for the championship in the multimedia sector?
Intel Core i5-4200H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Intel Core i5-4200M | Intel HD Graphics 4600 | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Model with flaws. Thin, elegant, noble – and expensive. The latest Ultrabook from Samsung's popular ATIV 9-series has high ambitions and cannot only convince with its design. Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks as well that prevent a very good rating, although the most annoying issue could be solved with a simple update.
Intel Core i5-4200U | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | 15.60" | 1.8 kg

All that glitters...This Asus model uses a Maxwell GPU from Nvidia and a Haswell Core i7 from Intel. A strong duo which is capable of running modern games. The laptop even boasts a Full HD panel and seems to be the optimal package. Is that really true? Let us find out in an in-depth review.
Intel Core i7-4500U | NVIDIA GeForce 840M | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Intel Core i5-4200H | NVIDIA GeForce 840M | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

A Motley of Colors. Once again, we find an MSI GE60 gaming notebook on our table with advanced hardware and an interesting design. A faster i7 processor and backlit keyboard make the laptop quite attractive at first glance, but can it deliver what it promises?
Intel Core i7-4700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M | 15.60" | 2.7 kg

More Flop than Flip. Sony's unique take on the convertible concept has produced a very nice-looking series of Flip notebooks to compete in the notebook-tablet hybrid space. The Flip 14 is eye candy for sure, but there is more than meets the eye.. and it's not all pretty.
Intel Core i5-4200U | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | 14.00" | 2 kg

Gaming tank. Big, heavy and a case full of fast hardware describes the new Alienware 17. Especially hardcore gamers will be interested in the GeForce GTX 880M, which is one of the fastest single-chip GPUs. But can the overall package support the good initial impression?
Intel Core i7-4700MQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M | 17.30" | 4.2 kg

Fat office worker. Solid computing power, user-friendly maintenance options, and a good keyboard is what Lenovo's G510 offers for 500 Euros (~$681), and only 440 Euros (~$599) is due without a Windows operating system. Our report reveals whether Lenovo has added a decent device to its product line.
Intel Core i5-4200M | Intel HD Graphics 4600 | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Boxy, menacing, fast. Asus launches a new gaming laptop featuring the overclocked premium GPU in its "Republic of Gamers" product line. High expectations are set when holding a laptop from this range. It is with good reason that Asus calls it Elite Series.
Intel Core i7-4700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M | 17.30" | 4.1 kg

Dragon Blood. Although the GE70 does not sport the strongest gaming graphics card, the 17-inch device supplies more than attractive performance. Unlike other laptop experts, MSI uses a GDDR5 rather than a DDR3 VRAM for the GTX 850M model. Our report shows just how big the performance difference is in practical use.
Intel Core i7-4700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M | 17.30" | 3 kg

Expensive = good? Buyers prepared to invest around 1500 Euros (~$2054) in a premium ultrabook will now find another alternative to Apple & co. in the new Toshiba Kira-101. We will reveal why it is not class best despite a speedy Core i7 processor, magnesium casing, and WQHD screen.
Intel Core i7-4500U | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | 13.30" | 1.3 kg

Intel Core i7-4500U | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | 13.30" | 1.9 kg

Haswell bargain. The search for a quiet, efficient and inexpensive home office notebook with decent battery life is over. The Packard Bell Easynote TE69HW-29574G50Mnsk, which sells for 299 Euro ($410), fits the bill exactly. An added bonus: the system is equipped with a Haswell Celeron CPU instead of a weaker Bay Trail processor.

Underdog. Mobile workstations do not always have to come from established manufacturers. MSI now offers solutions in this sector in the second generation, and its 17-inch GT70 catches attention with a high-performance configuration. We extensively tested whether that suffices for a permanent place in the professional field.
Intel Core i7-4800MQ | NVIDIA Quadro K4100M | 17.30" | 3.9 kg

Intel Core i3-4010U | NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M | 17.30" | 2.7 kg

Lookalike. Asus introduces a new 14-inch laptop with a touchscreen, upper-range configuration, and stylish looks dubbed VivoBook S451LB-CA072H. The bundle made a good impression in the test, though we expected more from the screen and storage device.
Intel Core i5-4200U | NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M | 14.00" | 2.2 kg

Juggernaut. The GeForce GTX 880M, still based on Kepler, is currently the fastest available laptop GPU. It rouses the highest expectations of gaming performance in conjunction with the i7 quad-core. We will reveal this much: Asus' latest ROG goes through the benchmarks like a hot knife through butter. Can its noise and temperature management control the brute power?
Intel Core i7-4700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M | 17.30" | 4.3 kg

Maintenance-friendly all-rounder. The Terra Mobile 1548 is Wortmann's promising attempt to challenge the all-purpose notebooks of the big manufacturers. In addition to a very bright Full HD display and a GPU that is fit for games, the computer offers a lot of memory space. A treat: The computer can be fitted with a 3G module.
Intel Core i3-4000M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Co-worker. Practical, enduring, reliable, and down to earth. Who does not want such a colleague? Our report reveals whether Dell's new 14-inch laptop adorns itself with these qualities.
Intel Core i5-4300U | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | 14.00" | 2.3 kg

Game mode: Domination. Following the release of Nvidia's 800-series, MSI revamps its gaming laptop line. While not much has changed in terms of external appearance, the performance levels have been improved considerably. Still, the main selling point of the Dominator will surely be its 3K display.
