Top Laptops 2023

For a sub-$400 price, the Asus Transformer Book T100TA is a fully functional Windows 8.1 hybrid tablet, and the natural successor to the netbook ideal from a few years ago. It gives you a bright, usable PC an affordable price. Plus it avoids all of the compatibility issues that plague tablets running mobile operating systems like iOS, Android, or Windows RT.

The 2023 Blade 14 offers significant upgrades both inside and out to be even better and faster than before. However, it's a bit thicker now and it lacks some higher-end GPU options found on competitors.

If you're a mobile professional who needs a thin and light device to get work done on the road and always stay connected, this might be HP ZBook Firefly 14 G10 is your. However, if you require heavy-duty tasks such as extensive rendering and the like, you might want to consider looking at the larger options available out there.

The Ryzen 5 Pro 6650U option offers more consistent performance than the Core i7-1270P option. Performance throttling is heavier of configuring with a Core P series CPU.

The XPS 17 shines particularly with its extremely accurate-color AdobeRGB panel, which makes it especially suited for image processing. However, you have to accept some compromises in the performance, and despite using the same cooling, Dell has slightly reduced the performance of the graphics card compared to last-year's XPS 17 9710. 

The Dell XPS 17 9720 introduces a brand new processor with significant performance gains over older 10th gen and 11th gen options. Outside of the CPU, however, the same disadvantages from the XPS 17 9710 or 9700 remain. 

The 2022 Blade 14 is the best version of itself thus far as all the new changes are direct upgrades from the original 2021 model especially in single-thread processor performance. However, it's becoming clear that the GPU has hit a wall with its 100 W TGP limit.

After two years of continuous updates, the 17.3-inch Blade now feels more refined than ever to be an easier recommendation than its initial 2019 launch.

I think HP EliteBook 840 G9 sturdy business-class laptop do a pretty fantastic job, and I have no hesitation in recommending the EliteBook 840 G9 in 2023 with the likes of the X1 Carbon Gen 10 and the 11. The all-metal construction of the 840 G9 is excellent in every way.

The AMD Legion Pro 5 16 offers the faster GeForce RTX 4070 GPU at the same price as the Intel version which only comes with the RTX 4060. For gaming purposes, you'll definitely want to go with the AMD version of the Legion model.
