Slim and light. A low weight (990 g, ~2.18 lb), slim case (≤ 12.55 mm, ~0.49 in), and bright OLED display (15.6 in, FHD) that is rich in contrast represent the highlights of the LG Gram SuperSlim. Additional positive features include two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a very good battery life.

Simply fast. Thanks to an outstanding Intel Core i9, a decent RTX 4060 and an OLED display, the VivoBook Pro 16X leaves no doubt that it is perfectly positioned for image and video editing. The hardware, especially the input devices, is also an excellent fit for a Creator notebook. However, savings have been made in other areas.

Compact class. With the Predator Triton 14, Acer has expanded its range of compact gaming laptops with an additional model. The 14-inch device offers bags of power, (Core i7-13700H, GeForce RTX 4050), a very bright 16:10 aspect ratio display (WQXGA, 165 Hz, G-Sync) and a Thunderbolt 4 port.

RTX 4050 and Advanced Optimus. The new Yoga Pro 9i 14 is Lenovo’s flagship consumer device and packed with features like the extremely bright Mini-LED panel with 165 Hz, a Core i7 processor as well as Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop inside a compact 14-inch chassis. 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.

An economical RTX 4060. The Acer Predator Helios 16 is simultaneously a solid and quiet gaming laptop with many high-end aspects. Thanks to the economical RTX 4060 and its mature cooling system, gaming sessions will not result in sudden deafness despite the potent 16-core CPU. We were also positively surprised by the fast QHD display and although we were not dealing with the mini-LED display variant, its deployment can be found in the key lighting.

The Pro 15 for budget foxes. If you can do without a metal case and a full RGB keyboard, you do not necessarily have to go for the expensive XMG Pro 15. In our test, the XMG Focus 15 is just as performant and only has to take a back seat in few aspects. In return, the base price of the Focus 15 is about €400 less than that of the Pro 15 for practically similar performance.

Core i7-1360P vs. Core i7-1280P. Dell has updated its XPS 13 Plus 9320 this year with 13th gen Raptor Lake CPUs. Other than the name change, however, everything else remains essentially the same as on last year's Core i7-1280P configuration including even processor performance.

More traditional with less fuss. Unlike the over-the-top Latitude 9440, the Latitude 7440 sticks to tradition to be more down-to-earth and easier to use. The updated 16:10 aspect ratio is always welcomed, but a few features have been lost in the transition.

RTX 4050 for $1,699.99. The new MSI Stealth 14 Studio was presented at the beginning of this year and aside from targeting gamers, the device also aims to speak to users who are searching for great performance within a compact 14-inch case. The Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop's performance has hit the mark, however, the laptop isn't without its flaws: its keyboard and short runtimes, to name a few.

The gaming workstation. A solid and understated design paired with computational power. This is the figure the XMG Pro 15 E23 cuts in our review. Whether as a laptop for content creators or gamers, the XMG Pro 15 impresses with powerful Nvidia graphics and a wonderful QHD display which covers the P3 color space.

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.

Surprisingly compelling. Lenovo's latest Legion laptop lavishly looks the part without needing to cut corners in regards to chassis quality, auxiliary features, or display options. Performance is excellent even though it lacks some enthusiast-class processors.
Intel Core i9-13900H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU | 16.00" | 2.1 kg

Quiet times. The gaming laptop's i7-13700H and the RTX 4060 are perfectly suited to modern games. And, on top of that, the Nitro 17 hardly suffers from any weaknesses. So far, so predictable. The clever power management implementation makes all the difference and ensures Acer's laptop is quiet despite its power.

A little bigger, but a lot faster. The Omen 16 is back this year with an improved cooling solution that's larger and more efficient than before. It also happens to have one of the lowest starting prices we've seen for a GeForce RTX 4060 laptop at US$1100.

Core i9-13980HX and RTX 4070 Laptop. Asus offers a powerful machine for creative users in the ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED. Intel's Core i9-13980HX and the GeForce RTX 4070 laptop take care of performance-related matters, but the new 120 Hz OLED panel is not completely convincing.

XPS-inspired keyboard and clickpad. The Latitude 9440 2-in-1 represents the biggest and perhaps riskiest change in the Latitude 9000 series to date. Some of the design choices are definitely nice to see from a visual perspective, but others can feel like a step backwards.

Performant earthling. The Dell G15 5530 now offers Intel Raptor Lake-HX options and positions itself as a capable upper mid-range gaming laptop. While the Core i7-13650HX and RTX 4060 combo augurs well for 1080p Ultra gaming, the G15 5530 has to contend with several compromises in order to keep the price competitive and distinguish itself from its premium Alienware brethren.

175 W RTX graphics and barely 19 mm thick. Alienware laptops have traditionally been larger and heavier than alternatives from MSI, Asus, or Razer, but Dell wants to prove that an Alienware laptop can still be thin and just as powerful with the latest Alienware x16 R1. It certainly doesn't disappoint at least when it comes to graphics.

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.
