Top Laptops 2023

MSI’s GF63 Thin lets you game on the go for little money, but don’t expect great performance or a lot of creature comforts.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 doesn't reinvent the original, but some minor upgrades and a new CPU put this affordable, stylish notebook back among your best budget options for 2022.

MSI’s Creator Z16 is a thin workstation powered by Intel’s Core i7-11800H. It’s got a well-built chassis remniscent of a MacBook Pro, but it’s got a few issues uncharacteristic of its high asking price.

The Asus Vivobook Pro 16X’s 4K OLED 16:10 display is impressive, as is its thin, light, and sleek design. But a mediocre keyboard and a weak webcam bring it down.

The Acer Aspire Vero is a desktop replacement laptop that manages to impress with peppy performance and a good amount of ports, while also being environmentally conscious.

Lenovo's trim ThinkBook 13x is an enticing-enough ultraportable for home offices and small businesses, though ultimately it's less practical than the company’s quite similar ThinkBook 13s Gen 2.

XPG's Xenia laptop brand finally comes into its own with the Xenia 14, a featherweight 14-inch laptop that delivers rock-solid productivity performance.

The Acer Predator Triton 300 is a lightweight gaming laptop with solid gaming performance and Max-Q Dynamic Boost. But it’s swimming in bloatware and offers lesser productivity performance than some competitors.

MSI's all-AMD Bravo 15 is a value-focused gaming notebook that, thanks to a Ryzen 4000 series processor, delivers admirable 1080p frame rates and features for the money.

For the most part, the 2020 VivoBooks S14s have outgrown their mid-tier segment, with neat design lines, excellent build quality, competent specs and long battery life, as well as fine inputs and punchy screens. Asus still went with fairly dim panels here, and there are a few more quirks you should be aware of, regarding the keyboard/panel options on the lower-end S433FA models, as well as the overall performance of the S433FL variants with Nvidia graphics. We're covering all these in the review down below.
