Raptor Lake

Tame Raptor. With the ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4, Lenovo has released the newest member of its traditional business convertible series. This new model has a retooled design with much improved battery life numbers, but a puny performance.

Precision engineering. Not much has changed from a visual standpoint, but the GPU update from last year's Precision 5470 is significant and worth considering for power users who want to maximize performance from a small 14-inch form factor.

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.

The convertible laptop for bookworms. What if you could have both a convertible laptop and an eReader all in one? The ThinkBook Plus Twist is a dream come true for bookworms as long as you can accept some caveats.

Freedom of choice. Alienware's gaming notebook provides an extremely flexible hardware configuration. Our test device offers lots of performance (Core i7-13700HX, GeForce RTX 4060) and a decent level of equipment. Battery runtimes, however, are unable to keep pace with the times.

Look ma, no power brick! With so many mini PCs to choose from nowadays, the IdeaCentre Mini will need something up its sleeve to really stand out from the crowd. Luckily, its integrated PSU and inexpensive price of under US$700 for the Core i7 option might just be enough.

Shimmering lightweight. While hardly weighing 1 kg (~2.2 lb), the subnotebook from LG is very well equipped with the Intel Core i7-1360P, 32 GB of working memory, and OLED display. Aside from the performance, the Gram Style also offers some other qualities. What immediate strikes us, is the case surface that can shimmer in all rainbow colors. And the laptop is also able to operate completely quietly - aside from some strange exception.

Multimedia, gaming, and content creation all-on-one. Who needs GeForce MX anymore when you can have a GeForce RTX 4060 run at a low 60 W TGP? It may not perform as fast as dedicated gaming laptops with the exact same GPU, but it's still a significant upgrade from last year's GeForce RTX 3050 Ti.

Nano size = Nano performance? The ThinkPad X1 Nano is back for a third year in a row with the exact same chassis design as its first generation launch. It remains one of the lightest and most portable subnotebooks in the market, but the compromises to performance are still alive and well.

Nvidia RTX 5000 ECC VRAM debut. Dell's latest mobile workstation is one of its leanest and fastest yet mostly thanks to the new Nvidia RTX 5000 GPU. Performance-per-watt is excellent and we hope to see the 165 W USB-C AC adapter on more Dell models.

Intel 13th gen CPU swap. The IdeaPad Flex 5i 14 looks very attractive at first glance with its low US$574 starting price and Thunderbolt support, but the fixed 8 GB of RAM is a huge asterisk and the price to upgrade is absurdly high for what is supposed to be a budget 2-in-1.

Distance runner. The Aorus 15 BSF - a QHD gaming laptop - offers good performance (Core i7-13700H, GeForce RTX 4070) with a great selection of features (16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 165 Hz panel, Thunderbolt 4). Amazing runtimes complete the setup.

Core i7-13705H vs. Core i9-13905H. It's not cheap at over two grand, but the Slim Pro 9i is densely packed and with an impressive 3.2K mini-LED touchscreen for wide DCI-P3 colors and over 2x the contrast ratio of IPS.

Core i5-13500H says Hi! The new Asus VivoBook 14X OLED K3405 brings several notable improvements to the table including the Intel Core i5-13500H and a 2.8K OLED display. The VivoBook 14X OLED aspires to be sought after as a capable multimedia laptop and manages to achieve this for the most part. However, some of Asus's choices, such as using the now-ageing 35 W Nvidia RTX 3050, raise an eyebrow.

Business companion. The compact office laptop by Lenovo convinces us with low emissions, long battery life numbers and a 16 inch screen win the work-friendly 16:10 ratio (1,920 x 1,200, IPS, low power). Part of the package are two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a WWAN option.

Short battery life and less hardware. Lenovo is aiming for the crown in the category of 16-inch multimedia laptops with its new Yoga Pro 9i 16. Its trump card is supposed to be the high-resolution and bright mini-LED panel. However, there are unusual weaknesses in the build quality and, in contrast to the 14-inch model, features such as Advanced Optimus are missing.
