AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 215 debutante. Some laptops have strong graphics capabilities, some fast CPUs. The Lenovo ThinkPad L16 Gen 2 AMD, an affordable business laptop for the office, has neither. Instead, this device offers something much more precious these days: Lots of DDR5 RAM, and the ability to upgrade it down the line.

Promising start. With the GeekBook X14 Pro, mini PC specialist Geekom is entering the notebook market for the first time - and is focusing directly on a lightweight premium ultrabook with an OLED display, Intel Core Ultra processor and modern features. But how does the 14-inch device perform in everyday use in terms of mobility, performance and endurance? Our detailed test shows whether the debut is a success or still has teething problems.

Improved OLED. Asus updates its slim 16-inch Zenbook S16 with new AMD Gorgon Point CPUs and an OLED touchscreen. The result is an extremely stylish and high-quality everyday computer with good performance and long battery life.

A slow RTX 5080 and an insufficient power supply. The ThinkPad T16g is a powerful mobile workstation from Lenovo that uses regular GeForce GPUs instead of RTX PRO GPUs. The new model (design-wise identical to the ThinkPad P16 Gen 3) scores points for its feature set, but possesses weaknesses, especially in terms of performance.

Premiere for the Core Ultra X9 388H & Arc B390. Asus has redesigned its dual-screen ZenBook Duo convertible for 2026, making it better in multiple respects. These include the new Intel Panther Lake processor with more efficient CPU cores and a so much faster iGPU that can just about make the GeForce RTX 4050 irrelevant.

70% more power. The new Panther Lake processors from Intel not only offer more CPU performance, but above all utilize a very fast integrated graphics card. The Arc B390 is around 70% faster than the previous iGPUs and can even keep up with the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU. Update: More comparisons with AMD Strix Halo

Windows Ultrabook with up to 128 GB RAM. The XMG Evo 15 is a slim 15-inch laptop featuring Intel Arrow Lake, a bright matte IPS display, and solid overall features. It is a capable all-rounder with no major weaknesses and is available with either an Intel or an AMD processor. Update: SSD & SD-Express performance

Tandem OLED: a subtle compromise Lenovo's ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 steps in as the successor to the much-loved ThinkPad X1 Extreme, delivering a highly capable multimedia laptop with powerful hardware, a matte tandem OLED touch display and what may well be the finest keyboard Lenovo has ever put into a ThinkPad.
