Ultrabook

Premiere for the 25-watt Zen3+. Asus' new Zenbook S 13 is an extremely compact notebook weighing just over 1 kg that does not cut back on a whole lot of performance thanks to the new AMD Ryzen 7 6800U. The OLED screen ensures good image quality that is free of PWM thanks to a software solution.

Intel 12th gen for only $550 USD. You don't have to spend four digits just to experience the latest generation of Intel processors. The 2022 Gateway Ultra Slim comes with a 12th gen Intel CPU that rivals the popular Core i7-1165G7 for nearly half the price.

Almost a ZenBook. Despite being "only" a Vivobook, the Vivobook S 14X uses the same 14.5-inch Samsung OLED panel as the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo for a similar viewing experience at a much cheaper price. If you're looking to spend just under $1000 USD on an Ultrabook, then this Asus can offer a lot for the money.

Flagship with Intel problems. For the first time, Lenovo is offering the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with a stronger class of processors than the U series. Our comprehensive review of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 with Alder-Lake P28 shows: It is hardly worth it.

More performance in a familiar shape. We still have to wait for the brand-new redesign of the MacBook Air, but Apple already launched the updated version of the MacBook Pro 13 with the new Apple M2 processor. The changes are otherwise very limited since both the display as well as the chassis including the Touch Bar are unchanged from the previous model.

Topping the popular Core i7-1165G7. Intel's 11th gen Tiger Lake-U series is already pretty good. Now, let's see how much more the 12th gen Core i7-1260P can offer in one of the first convertible subnotebooks from Lenovo to support it.

With all the trimmings. Dell's 14-incher comes across as a sophisticated business subnotebook: modern ports, input devices that are a joy to use, Windows Hello with facial recognition and proximity sensor as well as security functions and setup options galore. What could possibly go wrong?

Ultrabook through-and-through. With the MateBook 14 2021, Huawei offers a very high-quality mid-range ultrabook with a touchscreen in the 3:2 format. Our test shows how it fares against its competitors including the MacBook Air M1 and whether an AMD or Intel processor inside the case can do a better job.

Small update with Ryzen 5000. Huawei now offers an updated version of the MateBook 14 with an AMD Ryzen 5000 processor, but it is not an 8-core CPU anymore. Is the compact subnotebook with AMD hardware still better than the version with the Tiger Lake Core i7-1165G7?

Black box with AMD efficiency inside. Despite its redesign the ThinkPad T-series premium model comes with a 16:9 display for the final time in its life. Its input devices continue to excite, and overall efficiency was improved dramatically thanks to AMD's Cezanne-generation resulting in lower emissions, longer battery life, and a higher level of performance.

Silver good-looker with compromises. We already tested Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga with an i7. Now follows a short review of a Core i5 version of the most expensive ThinkPad convertible laptop.

Ryzen 9 and GeForce MX450. Optionally, Lenovo also offers its compact 14-inch Yoga Slim 7 Pro subnotebook with an OLED display and dedicated GeForce MX450. At the same time, you also don't have to make do without a very powerful AMD Ryzen 9 processor in this configuration.

One step forward, two steps back. Dell's 13-incher has upgrades and downgrades at the same time: Thunderbolt with USB 4.0 is now on board, but RAM slots, Ethernet port, and touchpad buttons are omitted. Progress or regression? We put the Latitude through its paces.

Robust AMD subnotebook. Lenovo's ThinkPad L-series is often even the choice over the T- or X-series for price- and quality-conscious customers. Rightly so, and accordingly the ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 AMD is also a slim but still very robust 13-inch ultrabook with an AMD processor, which not only has a very positive impact on the performance, but also on the battery life, temperatures and noise!
