Laptop Reviews

The MSI Prestige 14 is a mixed bag, offering class-leading performance and an excellent keyboard but with less than stellar battery life.

The Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 offers OK productivity performance, but its display and battery life are subpar.

The 2022 Acer Aspire 5 improves on the previous generation in a few key areas while raising the entry-level price. It's still a better overall value.

The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 is an excellent value, providing a surprisingly useful detachable tablet at a very affordable price.

The Acer Chromebook Spin 513 is yet another solid Chromebook 2-in-1 option, with good performance and battery life and an excellent display.

The Asus Vivobook S 14X is an affordable mid-range 14-inch laptop with a luscious 120Hz OLED display, but its performance and battery life disappoint.

The Dell XPS 17 9720 retains all the best qualities of its predecessor while upgrading to 12th-gen Intel CPUs.

The Dell XPS 15 9520 picks up where the previous model left off, retaining its best quality and improving performance and battery life.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7 updates to Intel's 12th-gen CPUs. It's a solid laptop for businesspeople, but mainstream users might want to look elsewhere.

The MSI Summit E14 Flip is a solid laptop with inconsistent performance and below-average battery life. It struggles to compete with the best 14-inch laptops.
