Why the most powerful laptops of 2024 might not use Intel’s latest chips

Intel's about to add a whole lot of new chips to its list of top processors, and we just got a peek at a few of them out in the wild ahead of time. According to a new leak, upcoming Dell XPS and Alienware laptops will feature some of Intel's latest Meteor Lake CPUs, including the Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 9. However, Intel's previous-gen Raptor Lake processors are also making a surprising appearance in the lineup, which isn't a great sign.

Windows Report posted an exclusive leak that shows us a whole range of high-end laptops, which the publication predicts should be announced during CES 2024. This includes ultrathin Dell XPS 13, 14, and 16 laptops, but there are plenty of options for gamers too, including the Alienware m16 R2, x16 R2, and m18 R2. All of these laptops are said to feature Nvidia's best GPUs from the RTX 40-series.

One of the first laptops powered by Intel’s upcoming 14th-gen Meteor Lake CPUs has been spotted online, and based on what we're seeing, the prices look surprisingly affordable.

The information originated on X (formerly Twitter) from @momomo_us, who initially shared details about these new laptops via Newegg US. The post disclosed information about the expected CPUs and key specifications of the laptops. Among MSI's lineup of work laptops featuring Meteor Lake CPUs, the Prestige 13 and 16 are the first ones identified. The leak also mentions the CreatorPro 16 Studio, as well as popular gaming SKUs, the Stealth 14 and 16, although specs for these were not provided.

I tested Intel’s Core i5-14600K against its cheaper sibling. Don’t waste your money

Intel's new Core i5-14600K isn't a massive generational leap, as you can read in our Core i5-14600K review. No one expected it to be with Intel's 13th-gen CPUs already sitting among the best processors. The bigger question is if it's worth buying over last-gen's Core i5-13600K considering that both are readily available for around the same price.

I've tested both chips extensively across a range of productivity and gaming scenarios. The Core i5-14600K brings some minor improvements over its last-gen counterpart, but those looking to stretch their dollar the furthest are better off sticking with the Core i5-13600K.
