[November 2024] Amazon Italy: Top 10 Best-Selling Laptops – ASUS Dominates the Market, Followed by Lenovo and HP

Apple regards its MacBook Air as the best-selling 13-inch laptop in the world. The company is also notorious for artificially differentiating the Air from the Pro, by either reducing its port count, limiting its cooling, or both. Well, this year, Apple did something unexpected. The manufacturer created all new housing for the Air, which includes a new display form factor (it now has the infamous notch), while the Pro remained largely overlooked.Indeed, both devices are outfitted with the latest Apple M2 chip. And once again, the MacBook Pro 13 (2022) receives an active cooling solution, w[...]

With the rise of inflation, budget gaming notebooks are no longer very affordable. However, manufacturers have done their fair share of the price increase, by making these products with higher-quality materials.In addition to that, NVIDIA and Intel introduced an incredibly powerful lineup of GPUs and CPUs recently, but again - they are no longer the bargain they used to be. On the bright side, even the RTX 4050 (which now finally comes with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM) is capable of crushing every game at 1080p and max settings.The laptop we're going to talk about today is the ASUS TUF Gaming F[...]

Hot out of the oven comes the HP 255 G9. It is a laptop suitable for the home and the office (or the home office), as it features pretty capable hardware at a price, which is almost unbeatable in its class.But what is its class? Well, it comprises notebooks like the Dell's Vostro 15 3525, Lenovo's V15, or Acer's Aspire 3. As a rule of thumb, budget-friendly devices require a lot of compromises, especially if you want to get decent-enough hardware.Of course, this is the case here. Knowing that AMD's RDNA2 graphics architecture will make the Ryzen 6000U processors more expensive, HP pic[...]

Today, we ask the age-old question - how cheap is too cheap? There is a very thin line between cheap and affordable, and we're going to see if the Lenovo V15 Gen 2 is going to provide the value it should.Traditionally, this series brings a huge amount of cost-cutting with itself. Through the years, we've seen plastic builds, slow hardware, and unattractive displays. However, there is something that tells us this year will be different.This little something is called a specs sheet. You can get this laptop with up to the Ryzen 5 5700U, which is an 8-core CPU with multithreading, and a v[...]

The ASUS Vivobook lineup offers plenty of machines in different price categories. One of the laptops is the ASUS Vivobook 15 F1504 (X1504). This fella doesn't cost much but it's loaded with an adequate amount of features and performance for the class.The notebook is available with Intel Raptor Lake-U chips but if you want to save some bucks, you can get the same laptop with Alder Lake-U chip. These 12th Gen processors are still powerful enough for daily tasks, office usage, and even for light gaming. There are three display options all with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1080p resolution. One of [...]

You don't need an AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D or Intel Core i9-14900HX for just browsing the Web or checking your email. In this case, a non-power-hungry CPU is a much better choice. If you need a laptop for casual daily or office usage, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (15″, Gen 8) is one of the possible solutions. It doesn't cost a fortune and it comes with an AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU under the hood. Actually, you can choose between three refreshed Zen 3 Barcelo-U chips. We have tested a lot of laptops with these processors and right off the bat we can say that their efficiency is very good by default.Eve[...]

After the HP 15 from last year looked like a 5-year old device, the manufacturer has actually improved (or modernized) the design. Not only that but they have made a sport version, as well. At least, this is how we would explain the "s" letter in the 15s moniker.While it doesn't really look sporty, we think it actually looks sleek. However, the actual difference in the name is because of the insides - this unit houses AMD processors. Sadly, they are not part of the Ryzen 4000U series, but still, they include the reasonably impressive 3000Us, as well as some Athlon options.In addition [...]
