The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Nano is next on my list to grab my attention. This is Lenovo’s lightest Thinkpad available and tries to cram as much as possible into a 13” chassis and yet still keep it thin and light. It’s by no means...
This article is my detailed review of the mid-2023 generation of the Asus VivoBook S 14 OLED k5404. This series is the mid-tier and somewhat more affordable alternative to the Asus ZenBook 14X lineup, with fewer bells and whistles, different materials used for the...
This is my detailed review of the Asus ROG Flow Z13 series. The Flow Z13 is a rather unique product, a portable tablet+ keyboard folio format with a 13-inch display, but at the same time a device with powerful specs that can rival the...
This article is my detailed review of the mid-2022 generation of the Asus ZenBook 14 OLED. The series is sold as the ZenBook 14 OLED UX4302ZA in most markets, but also as the ZenBook 14 OLED Q409ZA model in the US, as a BestBuy...
This is my detailed review of the 2023 update of the Asus ROG Flow X16 series. The ROG Flow X16 is still a unique design in today’s market, as a premium 16-inch laptop with a 2-in-1 convertible format and some of the most advanced...
A good deal popped up on my favorite deal website and I just couldn’t pass it up. Especially considering my wife was just mentioning that she’d eventually like an upgrade with more RAM and possibly a faster CPU. The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro was...
This is my detailed review of the 2023 update of the Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 series. The Zephyrus M16 has been available for a few years now, as a premium laptop with powerful specs and top features in a rather compact and lightweight package....
Seeing that I was satisfied with the Dell XPS 13 Plus, it makes sense to give the regular Dell XPS 13 9315 model a little attention too. While the Plus model is more geared towards entertainment/business usage, it might seem a little overkill for...
Hey everyone! I got my hands on a 2023 Razer Blade 16 with the RTX 4080 in it and have been using it exclusively for the past week. I put my early opinion up after a week, but have now had it long enough to...
This is my detailed review of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 series, the most powerful AMD-based Republic of Gamers laptop available as of 2023. Most of the 2023 ROG models are Intel-based this year, with Nvidia RTX graphics, and only two Strix models...
Next up is my review of the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. Not to be confused with the Lenovo Yoga 9i, which I recently reviewed the second generation of. But it does share some similarities that make it understandable to have a similar name. The...
With the Razer Blade 16 out of the way, now I can focus on the new Razer Blade 18 which I’ve had for over a couple of weeks now. I’ve been able to get a good impression of it too since it shares some...
This is my detailed review of the 2023 Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 series. Update: In the meantime, I’ve also reviewed two different versions of the latest 2024 ROG Zephyrus G16 series: the Zephyrus G16 GU605MI (Core Ultra 7 + RTX 4070) and the top-specced...
This is my detailed review of the 2023 Asus ROG Strix G17 series, the mid-tier AMD-based Republic of Gamers laptop available as of 2023. While most of the 2023 ROG models are Intel-based this year, two Strix models are still built on the latest...
So I got my hands on the 2023 generation of the Lenovo Yoga 9i for a few weeks and if you read my previous review on the Yoga 9i 2022 model, you’d know that I was pretty impressed with that one overall. That’s still...
This is my detailed review of the 2023 Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM special edition series, a co-venture collaboration with the ACRONYM design agency (with whom Asus worked in the past for the Zephyrus G14 ACRNM). We’ve talked about the standard ROG Flow Z13...
This is my detailed review of the 2023 MSI Raider GE78 series of performance/gaming laptops. The Raider lineup includes MSI’s top-of-the-line gaming and high-performance notebooks, alongside the behemoth of the GE77 Titan, which we’re discussing in a different article. For the 2023 generation, the...
The Asus ROG Ally is Asus’s answer to the Steam Deck, and it is quite the device. Although what they originally claimed in their announcement was a little overstated, it’s certainly a capable handheld and does have some major advantages over what Valve released...
This is my detailed review of the Lenovo Slim 7i Pro X. It’s the European variant of the laptop, and it is sold here as the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X. If you’re shopping for a powerful compact laptop, you’re most likely already...
This is our detailed review of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 in the higher-specced 2022 edition, built on an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS processor and Nvidia RTX 3070Ti graphics. The 2022 Zephyrus G15 is at a first glance mostly an incremental update of the...
This is my detailed review of the 2022 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 2. Last year, Lenovo unveiled the ThinkPad X1 Nano lineup of ultra-light laptops, and we’ve reviewed the gen1 X1 Nano in this article. I appreciated the sub-1-kilo weight and the ThinkPad...
Last year Asus launched the ROG Zephyrus M16 series as an Intel-exclusive thin-and-light all-purpose laptop with a 16-inch 16:10 display. It shared many traits with the popular Zephyrus G15 lineup, but the Intel Tiger Lake hardware did not impress in either performance or efficiency,...
This is our detailed review of the mid-2022 7th-generation update of the Lenovo Legion 5 series, in the Legion 5i variant built on 12th-gen Intel hardware and Nvidia RTX 3000 graphics. The Legion 5s are Lenovo’s offer in the mid-tier gaming segment, where most...
This article is my detailed review of the Asus TUF Dash F15 2022 generation, a portable and excellently priced RTX 3060 laptop meant for all-purpose daily use and gaming/school work. Last year Asus launched a controversial TUF Dash series of all-purpose laptops, 15-inch computers...
This is my detailed review of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s gen 3 lineup. The T14s is the classic 14-inch portable ThinkPad that you’ll find in work/business environments, as has been refined in countless iterations over the last 15 years. At this point, the Thinkpad...
This is my detailed review of the LG Gram 17 series, a premium ultrabook with a full-size 17-inch display. There aren’t many such laptops out there, designed to bundle a large display in a portable and lightweight format. In fact, the Gram 17 is...
This is my review of the Acer Aspire 5 budget laptop, in a mid-tier well-balanced A515-57G configuration that bundles an Intel i7 processor with Nvidia MX550 graphics and an IPS screen. These are quite capable specs for an affordable laptop that I bought for...
This is my detailed review of the Lenovo Slim 7i Carbon ultrabook. It’s the European variant of the laptop, and it is sold here, for some reason that I fail to understand, as the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Carbon. This is a mid-tier compact...
I was especially interested in seeing what Dell managed to improve with the new Dell Inspiron 16, after testing and liking the AMD Inspiron model last year. Especially since they jumped on the 16:10 bandwagon and swapped out that 15” screen for a larger...
I bought the Dell XPS 15 9520 a few weeks ago, and have been using it ever since in order to gather my thoughts and impressions on this update, and share them with you in this review. The XPS 15 hasn’t changed much over...
