Asus ProArt PZ13 review: look out, Surface Pro
The Asus ProArt PZ13 is the second CoPilot+ detachable tablet, and it's a solid competitor. Most attractive, though, is its price, which offers a ton of value.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 review: holds up surprisingly well
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 is a reasonably fast 14-inch laptop with very good battery life. It would be a better option for business if it had a lower price.
Acer Swift Edge 16 review: light but too breezy
The Acer Swift Edge 16 is thin and light with a lovely OLED display. But its poor battery life and flexible lid and chassis set it back among today's best.
This is the MacBook Pro competitor I’ve been waiting for
The Asus ProArt P16 leverages AMD's newest chipset for excellent creativity performance. And it's less expensive than most of its competitors.
Asus ProArt PX13 review: a uniquely small and powerful laptop

Surface Pro 11 review: just buy it
The Surface Pro 11 is the best Surface Pro -- and Windows 2-in-1 -- ever made. But is it better than the newest iPad Pro?
Dell XPS 13 (9345) review: Is this Copilot+ variant a winner?
The Dell XPS 13 (9345) swaps out Intel for Qualcomm in a laptop that's otherwise unchanged. Does that make it a better laptop?
Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 review: failing to stand out
The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 would have been a lot more competitive a couple of years ago. Today, it fails to stand out and is hard to recommend.

The 7th Edition of the Surface Laptop achieves a level of greatness never before seen in the line.
LG Gram 16 2-in-1 review: insanely thin, insanely gorgeous
The LG Gram 16 2-in-1 is incredibly thin and light even with a spectacular OLED display. It's not as fast as other large laptops, but it's still a joy to use.
HP OmniBook X review: a new breed of Windows laptop
The HP OmniBook X is one of the first laptops introduced in an upcoming crop of new Windows on Arm machines. It holds promise while raising some questions.
The budget Lenovo Yoga 7 is a great laptop for the price — but it’s not perfect
The Lenovo Yoga 7 14 Gen 9 is an attractive 2-in-1 at current prices. Its display lets it down, though, with inferior colors. Many users won't mind, though.
Another good laptop gets swept away by Copilot+
The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED is another laptop that's soon to be superseded by a new class of fast and efficient machines. Its price needs to drop to compete.

The 2024 Dell XPS 13 maintains the controversial design elements of the XPS 13 Plus, now with better cooling.
HP EliteBook 1040 review: a simple, beautiful business laptop

The Alienware m16 R2 is a complete redesign of the line, and attempts to thread the needle in terms of value.
HP Envy x360 14 (2024) review: missing the mark where it counts
The HP Envy x360 14 is the first laptop I've reviewed with Intel's 15-watt Meteor Lake chipset. That promises better efficiency, but I didn't see it.
Acer Swift X 14 review: surprising performance, shocking price
The Acer Swift X 14 doesn't bother much with looking pretty or keeping trim. Instead, it's all about a winning combination of performance and display quality.
Acer Swift Go 14 review: a fast but flawed laptop
The Acer Swift Go 14 would have been an excellent 14-inch laptop a couple of years ago. But times have changed, and there are better options for the same money.
Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra review: it’s no MacBook Pro
Samsung attempts a true MacBook Pro competitor with the Galaxy Book4 Ultra, but does it succeed?
Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 review: this one blew me away
The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is a very strong entry in the 16-inch laptop class, with surprisingly good performance and a very nice mini-LED display.
Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (Q533) review: content creation laptop for $1,000
The Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED Q533 can't compete against much more expensive laptops. But the good thing for Asus is that it doesn't need to.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 review: challenging my expectations
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is lighter than a MacBook Pro, and it can pack up to an RTX 4090, but it will challenge your expectations about gaming laptops.
Why this unassuming tablet is my favorite laptop of the year so far
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 would be impressive as a 14-inch laptop. As a 13-inch detachable tablet, it's incredibly fast, well-made, and easy to recommend.

Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 9 review: pure class
The Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 9 is a solid update and one of the best 14-inch convertible 2-in-1s. Only below-average battery life holds it back.
Dell’s Inspiron 14 Plus review: one hand tied behind its back
The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus (2024) is a good midrange laptop by most measures. However, its display isn't as good as some others at around the same price.
Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9 review: an affordable OLED laptop
The Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9 is one of a growing number of excellent OLED laptops in the $1,000 price range. It's fast and well-built, but has poor battery life.
Asus Zenbook 14 Q425 review: an $800 laptop that’s worth it
The Asus Zenbook 14 Q425 is the latest in the company's line of highly affordable and excellent 14-inch laptops. Battery life is this one's greatest strength.

Asus Zenbook Duo review: a dual-screen laptop worth buying
