Razer’s Blade 14 (2024) is still a gaming beast in a surprisingly small package. Its design hasn’t altered much from its predecessor, which isn’t necessarily a negative thing—after all, it has been my #1 choice for the finest gaming laptop available for a long time, and this most recent update strongly suggests that it should continue to hold that distinction. The recognizable all-black CNC-milled aluminum chassis is visually striking and robust, and its weight accentuates its high-end construction without compromising…

It’s not a terrible thing that the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 ($519 starting price; $529 as configured) is one of Lenovo’s most affordable laptops. You can get a 12-hour battery life, a wide range of ports, and respectable everyday performance for a reasonable price. However, the key factor in determining value is pricing, and depending on the store, this laptop can be purchased for as little as $299 or slightly more than the list price.

Fortunately, the all-in-one industry has expanded over the past several years, and you can choose from…

Although it is a quick and small productivity laptop with good performance, the Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9 14-inch has a few significant flaws. In our performance testing, it outperformed some more expensive rivals, like the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air. It’s difficult to go wrong with this laptop thanks to its elegant design and tiny form factor. Here’s a detailed review of the Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9 along with some important pre-purchase information. For a look at the competition,…

As a writer, one of the first features I look for in a laptop is a good, sturdy keyboard. Even with the greatest processing power under the sun, I will still find it difficult to type. The Acer Aspire 7 A715-76G’s sturdy keyboard, which includes a numpad, is its primary selling point. I don’t love the half-height up and down key on the Acer Aspire 7, as I don’t with many other full-width keyboards, but it’s not a major flaw.…
