Now that we’re over half way through the year, let’s look at the most exciting laptops still to come in 2023.
As a laptop reviewer, I have the great fortune of being able to try out the latest and greatest tech in this product category. In terms of the best laptops, there’s always something interesting on the horizon. Now that we’re around halfway through the year, I want to look ahead to what’s left of the year and spotlight some of my most anticipated releases.
The range of new laptops is wide, spanning from ultra-portables to high-performance machines, mixed in with a healthy dose of experimentation. That’s enough to get me excited for what’s ahead.Framework Laptop 16
I haven’t been shy about the fact that the Framework Laptop 16 is my most anticipated laptop of the year. I was impressed by the original Framework Laptop, but this 16-inch model takes the concept of a modular, sustainable laptop to the next level. First of all, it’s larger, meaning it has both a bigger screen and better performance. Like the 13-inch Framework Laptop, this new model will let you swap out the CPU through the Mainboard — but now you can even swap out or upgrade the discrete GPU. That’s something almost no gaming or high-performance laptops have attempted to do in a long time.
You’ll even be able to customize the keyboard to be exactly how you want it — whether that’s with a number pad, scroll wheel, or even an LED matrix. Of course, through the Framework Marketplace, there may even be many more third-party options for customization. It’s still to be determined how well this will all come together, but it’s the laptop I’m most excited to get in my hands and try out for myself.Surface Laptop Studio 2
I was a fan of the original Surface Laptop Studio. Released in 2021, it was certainly a stand-out in the Microsoft Surface lineup as not only the most powerful Surface but also the most clever. The three different modes opened up lots of possibilities to use the touchscreen in different ways, all while never compromising the basic, high-end laptop experience.
