Top Laptops 2023

The MSI Raider GE78 is a well balanced full-size performance/gaming laptop, one that doesn't compromise on any important features and also one of the most powerful implementations of the Intel Core HX and RTX 4000 hardware that we've tested so far. It does run hot internally while kept flat on a desk, though, and is only available in top-tier and expensive configurations; otherwise, though, this is a competitive option in its class.

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is a competitive high-performance laptop in its class, and stands out from the crowd in this i9+ RTX 4080 variant thanks to its performance, competitive pricing (in most markets), and beautiful mini LED display. Just make sure you're OK with its peculiar design particularities, and you acknowledge and accept the high CPU/GPU temperatures in sustained loads and gaming sessions.

Dell’s most powerful mobile workstation with a screen size of 15.6 inches is the Precision 7560. This model’s parts include Xeon and Core processors from Intel’s 11th generation,

The screen turned out to be the biggest weakness of the Latitude 3520.

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is a gargantuan gaming laptop with strong performance, a colorful display, and good speakers, for a high price. It should come with a 1080p webcam for this much money.

With nearly all modern conveniences—including Wi-Fi 6E, 5G, and first-rate security—HP's EliteBook 840 G9 is an excellent corporate traveler...but not quite exemplary.

Alienware’s m15 R7 has a premium feel, excellent gaming performance and a fast 165 Hz display to entice gamers. Throw in nearly 9 hours of battery life and this is a great all-around package priced at just under $1,500.

The Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X is an uncommon marriage of compact design, blazing-fast parts, high-end features, and a very fair price.

The latest iteration in the ZenBook series of 14-inch gaming ultrabook is smaller, lighter and better polished than ever before, without compromising on the screen, speakers, hardware and performance, as you'll find from this review. However, make sure to check the list down below for our detailed reviews of the more recent launches in the ZenBook 14 lineup.

As a whole, the XPS 15 9510 is still a versatile package of premium craftsmanship, compact form factor for a full-size laptop, several good-quality screen options, as well as balanced specs, performance, thermals, and battery life. Add in the excellent speakers and alright inputs and IO, and this could still be the get-go for many of you. I do have quite a few nits with this series, though, and I'll explain them all in the lengthy review down below.
