Blazing on-device AI, two-day battery life and the best display we have tested this year. The price is steep but justified.

Laptops 8.8

Whisper-quiet under load, a stunning OLED panel and serious GPU muscle. Port selection is the only real compromise.

Audio 9.0

Class-leading active noise cancellation and a 40-hour battery make these the new commute champions.
