Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga (Gen 2) Review

Lenovo has updated its ThinkPad X1 Yoga with seventh-generation Intel Core processors, USB Type-C, and a new hidden keyboard mechanism, and retained the high price.

Dell Precision M3800 review

Dell’s M3800 is essentially a tweaked version of the XPS 15, the company’s flagship 15-incher. That means it is priced to compete with the very best notebooks. Can it hold its own?

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon review

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the oldest new notebook of 2015; it has completely different hardware and a different keyboard, but the chassis is essentially the same as the 2014 model. Can this veteran compete with newer adversaries?

Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi review

One of three new convertible laptops in a new lineup from Asus, the Transformer Book T300 Chi Chi features a full-sized detachable keyboard to accompany its bright WQHD display. Is this the slim convertible you’ve been waiting for, or another pint-sized PC lacking punch?

Acer Aspire R13 review

Acer’s latest convertible ultrabook, the R13, offers a new take on the display hinge while paring back some of the more radical design choices of its predecessor, the R7. Reeling back the original’s extreme design has benefits, but the hardware isn’t up to date.

Digital Storm Triton review

Looking for a gaming notebook that doesn't weigh more than a fat Chihuahua? Digital Storm's Triton could be for you, but you'll have to make some sacrifices.

Asus Zenbook NX500 review

After a period of silence, Asus has finally released a new Zenbook, and it's one heck of a machine. 4K, Quantum Dots, Nvidia graphics; the spec sheet reads like a list of what's hot in PCs today. Unfortunately the price is as astounding as the hardware.

Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Edition review

Acer’s Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition has a long name, big aspirations and a lot of pixels. Its performance threatens the Apple MacBook Pro and Dell XPS 15 Touch, but it lacks the luxurious touch of its competitors.

Lenovo Z40 review

If you're looking for a laptop for around $600, your money would be better spent on a system other than the Lenovo IdeaPad Z40.

AVADirect’s Clevo P157SM wields Nvidia’s super-quick GTX 880M graphics card, but it makes sacrifices elsewhere.

Samsung ATIV Book 9 (2014) review

The ATIV Book 9 is super thin, can last over ten hours, and weighs less than some 13-inch PCs. Unfortunately, it also offers similar performance.

Toshiba Kirabook (2014) review

Toshiba was the first to market a high-resolution PC Ultrabook with the Kirabook, a slim system boasting a 2560x1440 display. The original suffered from an incredible MSRP and merely average performance, but the revision boasts the latest 4th-gen Intel processors and sells for several hundred less. Is that enough to make the Kirabook king of premium notebooks?

Matthew S. Smith     April 24, 2023

Asus Zenbook UX301LA review

Can the new Zenbook UX301LA and its 2560x1440p display make it a real alternative to Apple’s MacBook Pro with Retina?

Matthew S. Smith     April 24, 2023

Apple Macbook Pro 13-Inch (2013) review

The MacBook Pro has always been among the best notebooks, but the high price of the original Retina models was hard to justify when placed next to the best Windows alternatives. Apple has slashed the MSRP with its 2013 update however, and has jumped to the latest 4th-gen Intel Core architecture. Is it enough to banish any hope that ultrabooks can compete, or merely another minor improvement to an aging product line?
