I Tested HP's OmniBook Ultra 14, a Gorgeous Ultraportable With Potent Processing Power (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're in a golden age for luxe ultraportables, which makes it seriously challenging to stand out in this increasingly crowded segment. HP's OmniBook Ultra 14 does just that. From its sleek aluminum chassis and vibrant OLED display to its excellent webcam, impressive speakers, and all-day battery life, nearly every aspect of this 14-incher feels carefully considered. Though the OmniBook Ultra 14 is undeniably pricey, starting at $1,799.99 and reaching $4,049.99 as tested, it delivers exactly the
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15 (2026) Review: This 'Wildcat' Is Too Tame for the Money (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Intel’s new “Wildcat Lake” Core processors are designed to bring capable everyday computing to budget laptop shoppers. Lenovo’s IdeaPad Slim 3i 15, however, seems to have misunderstood the assignment. Despite relying on this entry-level chip platform, this 15-inch laptop carries a $1,299.99 price tag that its pedestrian performance, budget-grade construction, and skimpy feature set can’t justify. For everyday needs, you can do much better with HP’s OmniBook 5 14, Apple’s MacBook Neo, or Dell's X
HyperX Omen 15 Review: A Comfy Budget Gamer Sunk by Nerfed Graphics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maximum value matters most in entry-level gaming laptops, but HP’s HyperX Omen 15 (starts at $1,099.99) misses the other critical mark: graphics performance. The Omen 15 delivers excellent everyday usability and is capable of modern gaming, but our $1,199 starting configuration from Walmart trails faster-performing rivals like Acer’s Nitro V 16 AI and MSI’s Editors' Choice-award-winning Katana 15 HX without saving you any money. Higher-end RTX 5060 configurations may be a better buy—often found
Dell 14S Review: Marathon Battery Life, Middling Value (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dell’s 14S is for when you want more than a budget laptop but don’t want to pay for an ultra-premium ultraportable. Starting at $1,269.99 (we've seen it as low as $999.99 on sale), the 14S combines a sturdy, all-metal chassis with comfortable controls, modern Intel silicon, and astonishing battery life. The catch is that the value proposition is so-so to start and fades quickly as you configure it upward. Higher-end processors, OLED display options, and extra memory push the price deep into prem
Dell Chromebook 14 Review: The New Top Chrome Laptop for Classrooms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chromebooks are popular in education because they’re simple, durable, and—crucially, for budget-pressed school districts—cost-effective. Meet Dell’s Chromebook 14 ($439 as tested), a basic model that fits into that mission for grade schools. Though its Intel silicon isn’t for heavy lifting, it’s capable of classroom workloads, and this Chromebook's sturdy plastic chassis can survive daily knocks and inevitable drops. It stands as a compelling alternative to the CTL Chromebook PX141EXT, earning i
