Better Than Ever, Yet Business as Usual. Every year, a new LG Gram arrives without significant changes to its design. Equipped with Lunar Lake, a large battery, and quiet dual fans, the current Gram is certainly compelling. However, it no longer distinctly stands out from the crowd, as other manufacturers now also offer a solid lineup of lightweight laptops.

Nothing too fancy. The Cubi 2MG prioritizes reliability with generally fewer features than the competition. For almost $900, however, performance-per-dollar isn't one of its strongest qualities.

Thin and expensive. Samsung is now equipping its slim 14-inch laptop with Intel's efficient Lunar Lake processors, resulting in better runtimes. However, the price remains high, and Samsung is also slowly losing market share in the OLED panel segment.

Transform and roll out. Lenovo has had some interesting laptop designs including ones with E-Ink, folding tablets, and dual-boot detachables with both x86 and ARM processors. The ThinkBook Plus Rollable, however, definitely takes the cake for being the most useful and practical thus far.

A marathon runner in a business suit Acer's new TravelMate P6 is feather-light, mostly silent, and its battery life is outstanding. It's a notebook that gets through several workdays without a single thought spared for the charging cable, all while the compact business laptop delivers respectable performance.

Higher resolution for shorter battery life. The Dell Pro 13 Premium is available in FHD+ and QHD+ configurations. The latter option impacts battery life, but overall runtimes remain excellent nonetheless.

The <1 kg underdog. The Portege Z40L-N is several hundred grams lighter than many well-known 14-inch subnotebooks while still offering the latest Intel Lunar Lake processors and relatively easy serviceability.

Recipe for very long battery life. The EliteBook X G1i 14 doesn't offer any standout specifications or features, but what's here is done right and of very high quality for business users who just want the best lightwell clamshell without distracting extras.

3K 120 Hz OLED touchscreen. Not to be confused with the similar Envy x360 16, the OmniBook X Flip 16 features the newer Intel Core Ultra 7 Lunar Lake processor for better gaming and multimedia performance than any other 16-inch convertible powered by integrated graphics.

The Latitude with attitude. Dell is hitting the giant reset button for all of its laptops this year. With the Latitude name dead and gone, can the new Dell Pro 14 Premium take up the mantle?

From Core Ultra-H to Core Ultra-V. The Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 is leaner and more balanced than the Inspiron 16 7640 2-in-1 that it's supposed to replace. While it mostly succeeds, it's not quite the homerun in a few key areas.

Fresh new name with a mostly fresh new start. The Dell 16 Plus is the manufacturer's latest mass market midrange model complete with Intel Lunar Lake and a 1600p IPS display. The name and branding may be all new, but the Inspiron influences are clear and familiar.
