The Asus Vivobook S 15 is a solid addition to the growing stable of Copilot+ laptops. It's fast enough, gets good battery life, and it's reasonably affordable.

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.

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?

The Acer Swift X 14 is easy to recommend thanks to its fast performance, particularly for creators. Its battery life is a negative, though.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 is a well-built 14-inch laptop with good productivity performance. But it's expensive, making it a dubious proposition.

The Asus Zenbook Duo takes a fresh approach to providing a dual-display laptop's flexibility. Its low-end configuration is also a phenomenal value.

Samsung's first Copilot+ PC has a great OLED screen but feels a bit too clunky in day-to-day use.
