Buyer’s Guide

The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED, the newest model in a line of reasonably priced, straightforward, ultralight laptops that has been in production for more than ten years, is part of the march toward more affordable laptops that provide some degree of artificial intelligence-focused tweaking. Similar to the Acer Swift Go 14, the Asus Zenbook 14 (UM3406HA) is available for purchase at a price that is well under $1,000. In contrast to the Swift Go, the Zenbook is constructed on AMD’s…

One of my favorite laptops of 2024 is the Acer Swift Go 14, which I dubbed a “MacBook Air killer” because of its excellent performance and gorgeous display at a reasonable cost. This year, Acer made a strong comeback by introducing the newest Intel Meteor Lake processors together with a fresh emphasis on artificial intelligence, as evidenced by the Copilot key. Does the business, however, keep up the momentum? Yes, in a nutshell. The most recent Acer Swift Go 14…

It’s no secret that the MSI Raider GE78 HX 14V is a gaming laptop. This laptop looks the part with its amazing LED RGB light bar and sleek, modern casing. Although a 4K display would have been advantageous, the display prioritized adopting a 16:10 aspect ratio, much like many other gaming laptops. All of the hardware underneath is top-notch and current generation. The top of the list is the GE78 HX 14V, which starts with an Intel Core i9 CPU…

Regarding the Galaxy Book series of laptops, Samsung has made a name for itself producing high-end notebooks intended for business use. The laptops have fantastic displays, are lightweight and thin, and have a terrific appearance. This also applies to the new 14-inch Galaxy Book4 Pro. It weighs only 2.64 pounds and is about 12 millimeters thin. It features an OLED touchscreen with 3K resolution. It is finished in Moonstone Grey, a sophisticated shade of grey that subtly shifts to a…

My experience with the MateBook 14 left me shaking my head, having seen the Huawei MateBook X Pro destroy the M3 MacBook Air. This 14-inch aluminum unibody laptop, which previously astounded me with its magnesium grandeur, is nice, but largely forgettable. Do not misunderstand. Everything runs quite smoothly thanks to the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, which has a 40W TDP and Super Turbo mode. This is kept up beautifully by the excellent thermal management. Furthermore, the 2.8K OLED panel…

The best Android tablets are a great substitute for the top iPads. With their powerful hardware, these elegantly built smartphones can run games and apps with little to no lag. Additionally, they use little power and can run for a long time on a single charge. Additionally, some Android tablets can serve as good laptop substitutes when equipped with a keyboard adapter. To determine which Android tablets are best for particular people, we’ve evaluated a ton of them. We track…

Although it isn’t the most powerful gaming PC available, the Corsair One i500 isn’t upgradeable, and in terms of appearance, it’s the kind of device that will elicit strong opinions from people, including myself. Its performance alone makes it a strong candidate for the greatest gaming PC of 2024, and its cost is very reasonable considering the types of gaming setups I’ve seen with Core i9-14900K and RTX 4080 Super or RTX 4090 GPUs. This isn’t a cheap gaming PC,…

In 2024, the MSI Titan 18 HX makes a comeback, regaining its position as the top gaming laptop for those willing to spend a lot of money on the most extravagant desktop substitute available. Similar to the MSI GT77 Titan HX, which it replaced in 2023, the Titan 18 HX is a $5,000 desktop computer that passes for a gaming laptop. With a weight of little less than 8 pounds (4 kg), you won’t be able to carry it anyplace…

Massive is the Acer Predator Helios 18. This is not the laptop for you if you’re searching for something portable, thin, and ready to play games on the go. From its eighteen-inch screen to its roughly seven-pound weight, this is a desktop replacement in every sense of the term. Furthermore, the battery life is not going to be sufficient for traveling. Desktop substitutes do have a role, though. Because of its strong internals, the Acer Predator Helios 18 can compete…

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…
