The fourth quarter is traditionally by far the best time of year for high-end office notebooks. New technologies are by then already established and are implemented in office and business notebooks that focus on stability and reliability. So it’s no surprise to find Lenovo ThinkPads, HP EliteBooks and Dell Latitudes and their siblings among the plethora of tested laptops. For more specific information, please refer to our leaderboard of the best business notebooks that we update monthly. The best budget office notebooks for standard applications can be found here.

Note: all notebooks and convertibles reviewed by us between October and December 2022 have been considered for this overview.

The winners: The best notebooks in chronological order

The fourth quarter of 2022 saw four clear winners, each with an overall test score of 90%. The HP Elite Dragonfly Folio 13.5 G3 claims the crown with just a slight edge. With the switch to Intel processors, the Dragonfly Folio achieved a significant performance improvement, yet the device remains quiet and delivers solid battery performance. The convertible concept provides for versatile mobile deployment.

Conceived as THE high-end device in the mobile segment of conventional business laptops, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 with an i7-1265U CPU achieved excellent results in our test. High performance reserves accompany a robust and lightweight case with high-quality input devices and a very good display. We also tested the high-end configuration of the Carbon X1 with an i7-1260P CPU and OLED display. Third place goes to the Dell XPS 13 9315 2-in-1. Here, too, it is the convertible concept which should convince potential users. The concept guarantees high flexibility in deployment, coupled with excellent connectivity, low weight and low emissions.

Third place is shared with the HP ZBook Studio 16 G9. This is a mobile workstation with a large display and well-balanced performance and mobility.

The Lenovo Thinkpad X13 G3 takes fifth place with an excellent overall result of 89 percent. This compact ‘companion’ offers a well-rounded package of high connectivity, mobility and power reserves. Lenovo’s Legion S7 16ARH is the first gaming machine in this round up. In the configuration that we tested, the Legion S7, otherwise known as the Legion Slim 7, the components, in particular the CPU and AMD GPU are the key. They deliver a very convincing package and outperform the Slim 7 configuration based on Intel and Nvidia components that we also tested. Dell’s Precision 7670 is a mobile workstation available in various configurations up to the ultimate high-end alternatives. These include variants with an i9 processor and RTX A5500 GPU, as well as the combination of i7 CPU and an RTX A2000 that both achieved excellent test results. Lenovo’s T14s G3 is the secret star among mobile office laptops and distinguishes itself through its outstanding price-performance ratio. Recently also tested: The AMD configured T14s G3 that even outperformed the Intel version.

The Latitude 9330 encompasses Dell’s range of high-quality convertibles for business customers looking for a versatile device with high mobility and comprehensive connectivity. The Schenker Vision 14 2022 tries to find the balance between mobility and solid multimedia performance, and it succeeds very well in this attempt, as our test demonstrates.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 G1 offers performance in a compact format for business customers. Exciting: Lenovo’s exclusive use of AMD hardware and an OLED display for the Z13 G1. For ThinkPad friends looking for an alternative to AMD, the Lenovo ThinkPad Extreme G5 with an i7-12700H, was paired in our test with a Geforce RTX 3060 and ends up cutting a fine figure in this configuration too. HP’s EliteBook 840 G9 is its standard model for business customers. We also reviewed the AMD model in the form of the EliteBook 845 G9. The Asus ZenBook Pro 16X promises multimedia enjoyment at its best. Equipped with powerful hardware and a large OLED display, the 16X is actually an exciting option for content creators. If gaming is at the top of your wish list, you should take a closer look at the Schenker XMG Neo 15, which achieved good test results with a combination of an AMD R9 CPU and an RTX 3070 Ti.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 16p G3 ARH is an interesting alternative to the Thinkpad Extreme. The case doesn’t quite live up to the otherwise excellent componentry, but in terms of performance and display, the notebook is well worth a look. HP’s Envy x360 13 is a compact convertible with a wide range of uses. It exhibited solid performance data and a good display in the test. The Schenker Vision 16 Pro lies somewhere between the multimedia and gaming arenas and scores very well in our overall rating. In terms of gaming, one brand should not be missing: With the x15 R2, Alienware has an extravagant gaming notebook in the 15.6-inch format its line-up. The performance delivered by its Intel i9 CPU and RTX 3080 Ti GPU is unequivocally beyond reproach. The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro excels with extremely high performance while maintaining focus on acceptable pricing: Ryzen 7 and RTX 3070 Ti are tantamount to carefree gaming pleasure. Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7 Pro X packs comparatively high power into a compact 14.5-inch case - perfect for content creators who travel a lot. The Lenovo Legion 5 15 is the last of our tested devices in this list based on its excellent rating. This laptop offers very good price performance and is equally suitable for multimedia applications and gaming.

Our Favorites - Editors' Choice Awards Winter 2022/23

Based on our test results for the period in question, we put the various devices to an editorial vote among our senior authors and subsequently confer the Editors’ Choice Award. Laptops are individually recognised based on their successful overall design, top performance in specific evaluation categories or particularly good price performance. And they must present an attractive purchase option for our editors in their respective category.

Schenker Vision 16 Pro

The Schenker Vision 16 Pro (reviewed here) is a very flexibly configurable notebook in the increasingly popular 16-inch format. The focus is on a slim and high-quality metal case with plenty of ports. The target audience is looking for a powerful multimedia all-rounder. These people have a penchant for current games that require top-of-the-line graphics. And easy maintenance could also be a decision factor.

Although the Vision 16 Pro does not offer a choice for the display, the panel supplied is a good solution for many applications. It has a high resolution of 2560x1600, high contrast and good brightness, sRGB is well covered, color reproduction is acceptable, and the panel is characterized by low response times and 240 Hz refresh rate. Whether for gaming or multimedia, the display allows a wide range of possibilities.

Performance-wise, the Schenker Vision Pro 16 can be configured to suit anyone from multimedia/gaming beginners with an RTX 3060 to high-end performance users thanks to the optional RTX 3080. Our test configuration with an RTX 3070Ti demonstrated stable and good performance. The notebook was quiet in everyday simple use, but there’s no getting away from the noticeable fan noise when gaming.

The Schenker Vision 16 Pro starts at 1,859 euros ($US 2,025) for the basic configuration with an RTX 3060.

Lenovo ThinkPad L14 G3 AMD

The Lenovo ThinkPads L-Series has an improved price-performance ratio compared to the T-Series, even if you have to do without special features that are more relevant for companies with a complex IT infrastructure. Thus, even consumers with a limited budget can enjoy a work device developed for intensive daily use. The L-series also differs from the T-professional devices in terms of choice of materials, but the case is slimmer compared to the previous generation.

The ThinkPad L14 is not only convincing in terms of the performance reserves of the AMD platform. The system works extremely efficiently and quietly and can also achieve a runtime of 13 hours in day-to-day office use. Customers can upgrade the notebook (RAM, SSD) and service it. The input devices offer familiar ThinkPad features, the notebook has many ports, including the slowly but surely disappearing RJ-45 LAN port.

The 250 nits display is sufficient for standard office applications, multimedia enthusiasts should still look elsewhere. Lenovo lists an optional 500 nit panel in the specifications, but unfortunately this is missing on current models. Our test configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 G3 AMD is available for just under 1,000 euros (<$US1,100).

I am one of the founders of Notebookcheck, which I dedicated myself with after my studies at the Vienna Technical University were completed. Computers have been an integral part of my daily activities since the time of the Commodore C64 and Atari 1040ST. Besides new technologies such as electric mobility and environmental technology, I am also interested in architecture and construction engineering.

I was born into an English American family in Berlin and attended Primary School in England and Secondary School and University in Vienna. I was bilingual from an early age and left Europe to live in Australia, and subsequently New Zealand. My early career with IBM was followed by years running my own small IT business ventures. My passion for technology is more about the impact it has on human behaviour rather than the gadgets themselves. Understanding the latter well is a prerequisite.
