Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 in-depth review
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 is a sleek-looking light machine that has a slightly dated Intel Alder Lake U-series CPU under the bonnet. In reality, that's not an issue since the 10-core chip packs enough performance for regular tasks. Of course, if you are a power user, perhaps a 15W chip isn't exactly your cup of tea. Since that's a compact laptop, the upgradability, and the port selection are limited. Still, compared to the Apple devices, here you get an M.2 slot and regular Type-A and Type-C ports which are compatible with the majority of the peripherals out there.The 12.4-inch Pix[...]

HP Pavilion Aero 13 (13z-bg0000) in-depth review
It's almost unbelievable that an ultra-light laptop such as the HP Pavilion Aero 13 (13-bg0000) is powered by snappy Zen 4 CPUs with up to 8 cores and 45W default TDP. We decided to buy a machine with a 28W AMD Ryzen 7 8840U which will not stress the cooling system as much as the Ryzen 7 8840HS. The razor-thin profile comes at the cost of some missing functionalities such as a lack of SODIMMs and just one storage slot. Still, the port selection looks great for a 13-incher and you can easily open the bottom panel for servicing.The display department is represented by two IPS panels - one 12[...]
Pros
- Clean design
- Ultra-low weight and a thin profile even for a 13-incher (983 grams / 16.5 mm)
- Snappy performance for daily or normal office tasks
- Wide viewing angles and a high max brightness of 443 nits (LGD0715)
- 98% sRGB coverage + accurate colors with our "Design and gaming profile" (LGD0715)
- 1600p PWM-free panel (LGD0715)
- Comfortable backlit keyboard
- 2x Type-A + 2x Type-C ports
- The fan isn't noisy in "Performance" mode
- Long battery battery life given the 1600p display and the small 43Wh capacity (more than 9 hours of video playback)
- Has a 5MP IR Web camera with a privacy shutter
- Decently snappy NVMe (1TB SAMSUNG MZVL41T0HBLB-00BH1)
- Lid with a lever design
- Solid base
Cons
- The optional Ryzen 7 8840U can't reach its official base clock even in short loads
- Lacks a fingerprint reader
- Soldered memory and just one M.2 slot

ASUS Vivobook 15 (X1502 / M1502 / F1502 / P1502) in-depth review
Today, the visitor in our office is being pretty light on your budget. Nevertheless, the Vivobook 15 (X1502) aims to strike you with its bold hardware choices, as well as its high-performance potential.One would imagine that ASUS will want to cut some costs when it comes to hardware. Well, that's definitely not the case. This machine is supplied with an Alder Lake CPU. There are options with 15W TDPs, and others with 28W power limits.And here comes the trick up ASUS's sleeve - it's the "My ASUS" app. Through it, you can change between three performance presets. The most potent one has[...]

HP 15 (15-fc0000, fd0000, hr0000) in-depth review
It's clear like night and day that you don't need a high-end or even a mid-range laptop for normal light tasks. A modest 15W CPU is more than enough if it's accompanied by 16GB of RAM and a decent SSD. The HP 15 (15-fc0000) is an inexpensive device that will do the job for people who want to get a notebook on a budget for browsing the Web and and playing light games from time to time. However, you have to pay attention to the specs before buying because the machines with Zen 2 CPUs are tied with up to 16GB of soldered RAM while the ones with Zen 3 chips rely on a pair of SODIMMs which makes th[...]
