Reviews
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition review: Lags behind the competition

Reviews

The Asus Vivobook S 14 combines Intel’s latest Lunar Lake CPU with lots of RAM and storage at a very reasonable price. It’s a nice machine, but Lunar Lake’s multithreaded performance will be a problem for some workloads — and this laptop’s design won’t draw any eyes.

The Asus ProArt PZ13 lacks performance next to its laptop competitors, but as a 2-in-1 tablet it shines. A quality design, a great display, lengthy battery life, and incredibly competitive value set it apart from other 2-in-1. If you’re set on a tablet, this one is well worth considering.
Reviews
Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 review: A zippy laptop with speakers that scream

Reviews

The Asus ProArt P16 makes smart trade-offs to deliver a feature-rich laptop at a more reasonable price.
Reviews
