The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition is a winner on all fronts, boasting outstanding AI and graphics performance and some of the best battery life seen on Intel hardware. The Asus Zenbook A14 is one of the lightest laptops tested, with excellent build quality, portability, and battery life, but its chipset is lackluster. The Dell XPS 14 and 16 are aimed at Windows users with MacBook jealousy, offering a gorgeous design, bright and sharp OLED screens, and solid performance, but are expensive for what you get. Other notable laptops include the Acer Chromebook Plus 515, Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra, and Microsoft Surface Laptop.
