The Snapdragon Elite series just got a lot less attractive now that Lunar Lake can offer comparable battery life. For optimal gaming performance, however, a Zen 5 alternative is still recommended.

Mini PC eGPU docking stations were both uncommon and pricey just a few years ago, but the Beelink EX dock is one of the least expensive options thus far without needing to sacrifice features or quality along the way.

The 130 W TGP graphics option makes this one of the fastest 16-inch workstations in Lenovo's portfolio. However, aspects like temperature and fan noise are warmer and noisier than average, respectively, as a result of the demanding GPU.

The Cubi NUC M1 doesn't necessarily do anything poorly, but it doesn't excel in any key category, either. Its high price of over $900 USD for the Core 7 configuration sticks out like a sore thumb against cheaper and faster alternatives.

The new Intel CPU provides more consistent processor performance than the XPS 13 9340 while boosting both battery life and graphics by considerable margins. The changes help make the XPS 13 an even better contender to the MacBook Air 13 series.

The hybrid Windows-Android approach can effectively replace your existing laptop and tablet all at once. However, the 2-in-1 Lenovo machine isn't necessarily better than a standalone laptop and standalone tablet in terms of battery life and weight.

Beelink is upping the ante in the mini PC space by incorporating AMD's latest Ryzen 9 CPU before most other competitors. The price has also risen accordingly, however, making this one of the pricier offerings from the manufacturer.

The OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 may be one of HP's lightest 14-inch convertibles, but it's far from being the slowest. Intel's new Lunar Lake CPU helps to strike a great balance between portability and performance.

The Ryzen 7 8845HS is a gaming-level processor that has somehow found its way to a 14-inch budget convertible. Needless to say, performance is off the charts for the size category regardless of price.

The Yoga 7 2-in-1 14 has been refreshed with newer and faster processor options from AMD. Its slim design is still as attractive and as portable as ever, but its display is disappointing especially for content creators.
