I’m rounding up all the best laptops showcased at Computex 2024 from gaming powerhouses to leading productivity builds.
Computex 2024 has offered up a whirlwind of new and exciting laptops of all different shapes and sizes, with new AI-powered chipsets running the show. It’s been one of the more eventful years with the unveiling of the new Ryzen AI 300 chipsets alongside demonstrating the power of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X silicon. We even got our first look at Intel Lunar Lake scheduled for release later this year.
With so many models announced, I’ve narrowed things down to a top-five list of the best laptops of Computex 2024. There’s a steady mixture of gaming-focused rigs and productivity powerhouses that you should have on your radar over the next few months. Time will tell just how these new rigs can rival the best laptops available.
We’ve extensively covered everything happening at Computex 2024 since the event began earlier this week. The full hub has all the big reveals, keynote details, hands-on coverage, and more for thorough further reading. The best laptops of Computex 2024
The Lenovo Yoga 7x 14 looks to be an incredibly powerful productivity machine which takes advantage of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X APU. In our hands-on, we noted an excellent display combined with a thin and light design, including a great keyboard and touchpad at an affordable price point.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to go too in-depth with the AI features or test the battery life much, but the first impressions were definitely positive. This rig is set to feature a 14.5-inch OLED 3K (2994 x 1840) display at 90Hz with a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. There’s also 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and a 1TB Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD. It weighs in at an impressively light 2.82 lbs / 1.28 kg, too. It should be a good upgrade over its predecessors.
The new Asus Zenbook S 16 appears to be the company’s answer to the MacBook Pro M3 with a similar pricing of $1,699.99 / £1,599.99 (around AU$2,550). Design-wise, the Taiwanese company has packed in a leading 16-inch 3K Lumina OLED display clocked at 120Hz which will feature the brand new Ryzen AI 9 SoC.
