Show More It’s a great time to be shopping for a laptop. Models sporting Intel’s new started appearing in late 2017, promising a dramatic leap in performance in thin-and-light convertibles, 2-in-1s, hybrids, and traditional laptops. One of the first out of the gate is the (currently about $1,250 from hp.com), which is now our. Updated: The story just keeps getting better, though. At CES, Intel unveiled its new parts: 8th-generation, quad-core Core i5 and Core i7 chips, married with what AMD calls the Radeon RX Vega M GPU. That’s right: discrete graphics on a mobile chip, thanks to a surprise partnership between the two longtime rivals. Intel has yet to commit to a ship date more specific than Q1 2018, however. Not to be outdone, except the kitchen sink, seemingly, including its own mobile chip, also with Vega in the name.
Ryzen Vega Mobile promises high frame-rate AAA gaming in compact form factors, using an RX 580 GPU with its own memory. AMD promises we’ll see these chips sometime in 2018. While we wait for these new chips to come out, there’s still plenty to love among current models. We have new picks for a faster (Dell’s, currently about $980 on dell.com) and a (, currently $2,199 on Amazon) with good battery life. Other recent reviews include the, and.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it—but while you’re at it, make it faster too. Yup, Dell basically added a Kevin Durant to its Golden State Warriors this year with the newest. Dell basically drops in a quad-core into its award-winning laptop and goes to town.
The rest is the same: a quality aluminium exterior and carbon-fiber top, and that wonderfully compact, bezel-free 13-inch screen. Yes, we get tired of writing that the XPS 13 is the but in this case, it’s true in every sense of the word. Gordon Mah Ung The Kaby Lake version of the Dell XPS 13 maintains that balance between portability, compact size, and performance that we like so much. Our only lingering complaint is the small keyboard, but overall, you can’t lose with the newest XPS 13. It’s a truly compact ultrabook that punches out of its class.
$800–$2,039 MSRP; $1199 MSRP as reviewed Runner-up. If looks are more your thing, the HP Spectre 13.3 (available at ) certainly has a distinct profile: It’s one of the thinnest ultrabooks around. For anyone coveting the streamlined experience of Apple’s 12-inch MacBook, this 13-inch notebook will bring you close while providing superior performance. You might expect such a skinny laptop to sport a lower-wattage Core i3 or i5 processor, but HP fits a 15 watt Core i5 or i7 processor into this Spectre. That puts it on par with other, chunkier top-tier ultrabooks, like the XPS 13.
Combined with its 256GB M.2 SSD, it runs smoothly and swiftly during typical office drone work (word processing, spreadsheet editing, web browsing, etc), without any heavy throttling of performance during CPU-intensive tasks. HP also made the ports count: While there are just a few, you get not one but two Thunderbolt 3 ports, as well as a USB-C port. On HP While Apple and Dell are content to show up to dance in the same dress year after year, you won’t have that from HP. Just two years removed from its original launch, the Spectre x360 13t (available at ) has now gone through no fewer than three major redesigns. The latest, of course, is the best and adds a fingerprint reader, a nifty rechargeable pen, and of course, an 8th-generation Core i7 CPU too. In raw performance it doesn’t quite keep up with Dell’s XPS 13 but this is a convertible and most convertibles give up a little performance for the ability to work as a tablet.
What matters more is that it leaves the 7th-generation Spectre x360 13t in the dust on CPU heavy workloads. Adam Patrick Murray The best part is battery life doesn’t suffer (it’s still damned good) and it’s even a couple of ounces lighter to boot. HP doesn’t make the faux pas, or is that port pas, and keeps a USB Type A port along with two Thunderbolt 3 ports that support external graphics. So yeah, it’s easy to see why the Spectre x360 13t is our go to convertible laptop and the one everyone is chasing right now. $1,090–$1,600 MSRP; $1,100 MSRP as last reviewed Runner-up.
Samsung’s impressed us when. Compared to other models we’ve tested recently that offer a high-resolution touchscreen display, a 360-degree hinge, a cool metal chassis, and even pen support, it’s carefully designed to offer a little bit of everything, with a few standout features: a discrete Radeon RX 540 GPU, an integrated S-Pen with special Samsung applications as well as Windows 10 inking compatibility, and impressively long battery life. Given its good overall showing, the Samsung Notebook 9 Pro is a laptop many people can like, including entry-level gamers. $930 to $1,400 MSRP Best budget convertible laptop. The Asus ZenBook Flip might not be quite as elegant and powerful as its primary competition, but it costs a heck of a lot less and can still do the vast majority of the same workloads. For years, Asus has offered great value in its notebooks, and the (available at ) is a strong example of its affordable, high-performing offerings. For $700, you get a fully convertible notebook that can handle everyday tasks with ease.
In fact, its pricing and specs are virtually identical to our favorite budget ultrabook, the (now discontinued). Inside you get a Core m3-6Y30, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD, and outside there’s a 1920x1080 IPS screen with an anti-glare finish. Yet despite the modest CPU, the Asus ZenBook Flip is fairly peppy.
In our benchmarks, it actually outperformed faster (and newer) Core m5 and m7 processors in rival machines during short CPU-intensive tasks. Its storage drive is no slouch, either. This laptop is slender and lightweight, too.
It measures 0.54 inches thick and 2.8 pounds, which keeps it in line with more expensive ultraportables. You’re not saddled with chunkier dimensions or extra weight in exchange for a lower price. A couple of compromises do exist: There’s no backlighting on the keyboard, and the trackpad is a tad springy. Still, it’s a good deal in a price range that usually nets you thick, ugly, and plastic.
$699 MSRP (256GB model); $749 MSRP (512GB model) as reviewed Best hybrid laptop. The combination of an Intel Skylake chip, a new Type Cover keyboard and faster SSD speed help push the Surface Pro 4 into a higher echelon of performance. That a Surface Pro laptop is the winner of this category shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, Microsoft gave legs to the concept of hybrid tablet/laptop devices (also known as “2-in-1” laptops)—the Surface series is really an evolutionary step beyond the typical “convertible” devices that physically separate from the keyboard to run independently as tablets.
What may be surprising is that our best pick remains the (available at ), even given the launch of the. (This Apple-style of naming hides the fact that the new Surface tablet is akin to a Surface Pro 5.) However, given the Surface Pro’s performance throttling and higher price tag, we think the Surface Pro 4 offers the better mix of value and performance while it’s still available. Sure, Surface clones have arisen that are also light yet still very capable, like Lenovo’s and HP’s.

But we like this hybrid tablet better than its cheaper rivals for its, great performance, and the fact that its keyboard and trackpad are miles ahead of competing designs. The only caveat: It’s expensive—and the essential keyboard adds $130 to the price. (Nope, it’s not included.) That means the midrange Surface Pro 4 with 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and a Core i5 is a $1,430 computer.
Hopefully, prices will get cut now that the new Surface Pro has arrived. In any case, if you value portability—it really is laptop performance in a tablet—and will actually use it as a tablet on occasion, you’d be hard-pressed to beat the Surface Pro 4 right now. $899–$1,799 MSRP; $1,430 MSRP as reviewed with optional keyboard cover Runner-up. Samsung's Galaxy Book two-in-one provides a surprisingly potent combination of price, performance, and battery life, all wrapped up behind an excellent Samsung AMOLED display with HDR. Samsung’s follow-up to its (available at ) doesn’t take any extreme turns off the established path. It’s still incredibly thin and lightweight, and it offers an even more stunning AMOLED screen that supports HDR. But it’s still not quite our favorite convertible, and that’s partially due to Samsung’s decision to sell both a small and a big version of the Galaxy Book.
The more affordable, lower-power Core m3 model has a smaller 10.6-inch screen. If you want a 12-inch screen, you’ll have to jump to a starting price of $1,130. Despite these two tougher choices, the Galaxy Book is still compelling. It offers solid performance (including over 10 hours of video playback on the 12-inch Core i5 model) and addresses some of our complaints with the Galaxy TabPro S. You now get two USB-C ports, and the keyboard secures tightly to the tablet.
And of course, it has that gorgeous display. So while it may no longer have a huge advantage in price, Samsung still manages to hold its own with a few compelling features. Particularly the included pen—Microsoft’s equivalent accessory is a $100 optional purchase.
$630 or $1,130 MSRP base price; $1,300 MSRP as reviewed Best gaming laptop. On Dell There are rough edges, from the keyboard's zone backlight to loud fans to its enormous size, but the Alienware 17 R4 is still one of the few machines that can truly function as a semi-portable desktop experience. The arrival of Nvidia’s Pascal-based mobile GPUs transformed high-end gaming laptops. These days, getting desktop-equivalent performance is just the natural course of things, and you no longer have to pay through the nose for it, either. Our current pick for best gaming laptop is the (available at )—it comes equipped with a GTX 1080 mobile GPU and a 17.3-inch 2560x1440, 120Hz G-Sync panel, and it starts at $2,300. For that chunk of cash, you’ll get smooth, high frame-rate gaming at a previously unprecedented level. Our review unit posted frame rates over 150 fps with everything maxed out in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and over 100 fps in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Sure, this machine isn’t as portable as other gaming laptops sporting Nvidia’s new Max-Q mobile GPUs—but Alienware gives you full 1080 performance all the time, with a better and more consistent frame rate than those lighter notebooks.
The Alienware 17 does have a couple of drawbacks: Its fans are loud, and its battery life is average. It’s also huge.
However, these aspects that shouldn’t bother people in the market for a true desktop replacement. $1,300–$3,650 MSRP; $2,700 MSRP as reviewed Page 1.

The D-Fuse seatpost does a decent job of absorbing road vibrations The carbon frame has a compact design. The sloping top tube reduces the size of the front and rear triangles to create a lighter and stiffer bike. This, when married with the lighter rims of disc specific wheels, allows you to accelerate quickly, be it out of corners or sprinting for signs.

The Defy’s consistent handling married with the impressive Shimano disc brakes meant I could descend the technical Honister Pass with confidence. W ith a and an 11-28t cassette choosing the best gear for ascending or descending is easy. The only criticism is that although the D-shaped seatpost dampens road buzz, there are more comfortable endurance bikes on the market.
