Top Laptops 2023

The MSI GS66 Stealth has the looks of a flagship with strong gaming performance, but it runs hot and loud with so-so productivity power.

The MSI Prestige 14 is a slim laptop with discrete graphics and above-average battery life, but the keyboard gets warm when the computer is under load and the display needs to be brighter. And yes, it comes in pink.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad L390 Yoga is a capable, but not powerful, 2-in-1 aimed at businesses. If you’re just filling out some spreadsheets, using chat apps or word processing, it will get the job done.

MSI combines an 8th generation Intel CPU with RTX 2080 graphics and throws in some colorful effects and a healthy amount of useful software. The result is a reliable, speedy gaming machine with style.

Asus’ new ZenBook Flip 14 is a 2-in-1 with something unique: a discrete GPU. But our review finds that’s less helpful for gaming and more for productivity.

The LG gram 15 for 2017 does what it’s designed to do extremely well. It handles Windows 10 and undemanding apps with ease and lasts for ages away from the mains. It does all this while packing a 15in screen into a chassis that weighs just 1kg. That’s seriously impressive but it comes at a price that’s hard to stomach for UK buyers – in the US it’s not so bad. Any Brits reading this review should check out the Dell XPS 15 which has more impressive specs for a lower price, but it does weigh twice as much.

The HP Omen 17 brings Nvidia's Pascal graphics, a 4K display, plenty of storage, and excellent performance to the midrange price tier, making it a good gaming laptop that is also a good value.

Samsung's new laptop proves that big screens don't have to weigh a ton

A premium ThinkPad design and it's running the Ryzen 6000 series processor. This is something many of you have been asking for, and Lenovo has delivered.

The brand-new Acer Predator Helios 300 2022 model performs superbly. Acer improved the layout, screen options, inputs, and connections, added a battery and a stronger thermal module, and introduced far more potent specifications than earlier generations.
