The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 releases in October and seems poised to take on the MacBook Air. Here are our initial hands-on impressions of Microsoft's laptop.

The LG Gram 17 Pro delivers strong performance from its 13th gen Core i7 CPU and Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU and wraps it up in a very light 3.2-pound package.

Although it’s a bit pricey, the MacBook Air M2 justifies the premium with an unbeatable combination of performance, battery life, display quality and portability.

The Lenovo Legion 9i packs powerful components and an innovative liquid cooling system into its svelte chassis. Here are our initial impressions.

The Dell XPS 13 Plus (2023) looks and feels just as premium as its predecessor, but it still has the same weaknesses — and in some cases, it actually performed worse in our tests.

Thanks to one of the best OLED panels around, the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED is a great choice for work and play.

The MacBook Air’s new M1 chip gives the laptop MacBook Pro-like power along with amazing battery life.

The Alienware x16 wins thanks to its powerful performance, large 16-inch 240Hz display and futuristic design

This slim, stylish Windows 11 ultraportable offers a great webcam and beautiful OLED display, but don't expect great performance.

The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro (2022) delivers plenty of bang for the buck, with powerful performance that make it worth the price of admission.

The Apple MacBook Pro 2022 delivers mind-blowing performance and record-breaking battery life thanks to its M2 processor.

Bigger is better

The Framework Laptop 13 (2023) is the best laptop on the market if you care about sustainability, upgradability and your right to repair.

The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023) could be the next great ultraportable. Here's what we think of it so far.

This beastly gaming laptop is too hot, heavy and loud to be of much use on your lap, but on a desk it's a remarkable gaming machine that earns the term desktop replacement.

The Galaxy Chromebook 2’s QLED display, improved battery life and sleek design make this a compelling premium Chromebook, even though you need to make some trade-offs.

The MSI Cyborg 15 is a cyberpunk-inspired gaming laptop offering excellent performance at an affordable price.

Apple's MacBook Pro 2021 (16-inch) is an across-the-board improvement that delivers best-in-class performance, especially with M1 Max.

The MacBook Pro 2021 (14-inch) is a practically perfect Mac. Its price is pretty high, though.

The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra features a gorgeous 16-inch OLED display, a thin elegant design and enough power to handle creative projects and gaming. It’s the ultimate Samsung laptop.

Dell's latest XPS 13 is a bit of a disappointment

The Dell XPS 13 Plus delivers amazing performance in a compact design, but the function row, battery life and cooling could be better.

The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 is an overall solid 2-in-1 convertible laptop. If it weren't for its poor battery life, this would be an easy device to recommend.

Microsoft's Surface Laptop 4 offers strong performance, impressive audio and very good battery life, but the design is starting to feel a bit stale.
