Steve Jobs once called touchscreen laptops ergonomically terrible. Sixteen years later, Apple has introduced its first touchscreen MacBook Pro, complete with a tandem OLED PROLED XDR display, M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, and even Dynamic Island. It seems Apple has had quite the change of heart.
Apple’s new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 brings up to 30% faster graphics, improved on-device AI performance, and smarter Siri AI. Throw in Wi-Fi 7, macOS 27 Golden Gate, and up to 24 hours of battery life, and Apple’s familiar pro laptop has plenty of reasons to tempt upgraders.
A small laptop still has its uses, especially when you want desktop software without hauling around a large machine. CHUWI’s MiniBook X U300 puts Windows 11 Pro behind a 10.51-inch folding touchscreen. Fold the keyboard away for Netflix, then bring it back when someone remembers that spreadsheet you owe them.
Packard Bell may remind you of the family PC, but its latest chapter includes something for lunch. Acer is marking the brand’s 100th anniversary with a colorful collection spanning a laptop, suitcase turntable, audio glasses, and a connected food steamer. That’s quite a departure from the computer desk.
A worn-out battery shouldn’t mean retiring an entire laptop. Acer’s new Vero 16 makes room for repairs with tool-free internal access, a user-replaceable battery and SSD, and a detachable hinge. It even supports processor upgrades for at least two generations, giving you reasons to keep it.
Android users have long watched iPhones and MacBooks work together while their own phones and laptops never matched that relationship. Googlebook aims to change that with a new premium laptop platform built around deep Android integration, arriving through Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo rather than a single Google-made machine.
Not every Galaxy Book needs an AMOLED display or top-tier processor. Samsung’s 14-inch Galaxy Book6 targets everyday users with up to 25 hours of battery life, practical ports, Galaxy AI, and cross-device features, though its non-backlit keyboard reveals where some savings were made.
TECNO has spent plenty of time making phones thinner. Its next hardware trick goes in another direction: all the way backward. The MEGABOOK T15 360 Series switches among laptop, tablet, tent, and stand modes, with optional pen input, up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, and a sharper 120Hz display on the Pro.
Huawei’s MateBook Pro S is an exceptionally light 14.2-inch laptop weighing as little as 798 g. It pairs a 3.1K 120Hz OLED touchscreen with the Kirin XE90 processor, HarmonyOS 6.1, and an optional privacy display.
Built for gamers, creators, and AI developers unwilling to surrender desktop-grade performance, the new Razer Blade 18 offers up to RTX 5090 graphics, a 440 Hz display mode, and a formidable US$3,999.99 starting price.
Framework’s new Pro laptop adds a machined-aluminum body, replaceable LPCAMM2 memory, a dedicated AI processor, and enough claimed battery life to survive the working day.
