00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,640
here at ces 2018 we've seen a lot

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:09,200
of laptops some from some strange brands

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:14,400
and some from the big guys but which ones did we think are best well these

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:19,920
five in no particular order brought to you by Intel up first is the new gram

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:24,720
from lg with the 13-inch model coming in at just

6
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:27,519
965 grams this thing is insanely light

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:32,640
but also surprisingly robust in our review of the late 2017 model we had

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:37,040
said if they added Thunderbolt 3 and changed the location of the camera it

9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:42,879
could be basically the perfect laptop and they did both so with a quad-core

10
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:47,600
8-gen Intel processor increased battery capacity thanks to the 72 watt hour

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:51,840
battery and a fingerprint sensor that's been moved into the power button

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,440
this might be the laptop to beat for ultra portables speaking of portable if

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,160
you have a little less space in your backpack but you can take a bit more

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:06,240
weight at just 8.98 millimeters the acer swift 7 is insanely

15
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:11,439
thin looking at it from the side it almost disappears but somehow they kept

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:16,560
the keyboard feel excellent with a surprisingly long travel the only thing

17
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:22,880
you're compromising here is the 7th gen Intel processor seems that dual core is

18
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:25,840
still alive in super thin ultrabooks but

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:30,159
you could be forgiven for trading power for looks like this

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:36,960
if you can't sacrifice power dell has got you covered though the completely

21
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:40,560
new xps 13 not only has 24

22
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,040
less volume but a staggering 80 percent

23
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:47,439
more power it features an Intel 8th gen quad-core processor that they've been

24
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:53,200
able to soup up with some clever cooling for higher and longer turbo boosts the

25
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:58,320
build quality remains impeccable it uses the same keyboard as the outgoing model

26
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,399
which is a good thing and with a 4k HDR

27
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:06,240
option available for the screen it is a treat for your eyes too moving on to

28
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:07,520
dell's xps 15 well now there's a two in

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,879
one and there are a lot of cool things about this laptop it not only has an

30
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,680
Intel 8th gen processor but built into

31
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:20,239
the CPU package it has rx vega m graphics this means a massive increase

32
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:25,520
in graphical performance compared to onboard making it perfect for things

33
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:29,440
like photoshop and light video editing now it's not the thinnest laptop we've

34
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:34,560
ever seen but it's still respectable at 16 millimeters and to help achieve this

35
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,480
thinness with two in one folding functionality dell actually developed a

36
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,640
new type of keyboard switch which they're calling maglev this allows a

37
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,440
surprisingly clicky feel in what would otherwise be a very restrictive amount

38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:52,319
of space and uh oh continuing with the trend of magnets there's also a magnetic

39
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,560
pen for people who are into that moving on we've got the lenovo x1 carbon now

40
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:01,040
this isn't really a new laptop but we feel like the new model steps it up with

41
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:07,040
a lot of nice to haves these additions include Windows hello facial recognition

42
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:08,800
up to a 1440p panel with HDR support

43
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,599
although unfortunately touch is only available on the 1080p model and a

44
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,319
quad-core Intel processor and your fingers actually get treated to a

45
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:21,040
luxurious 1.8 millimeters of key travel

46
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:25,040
with excellent tactile feel as well as a whole heap of i o to prevent you from

47
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,480
the embarrassment of forgetting the right dongle for your meeting and this

48
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,560
is all wrapped up in a premium feeling chassis that i imagine will keep on

49
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:36,519
trucking for years and although that's actually five already we actually have

50
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:41,760
one honorable mention the MSI raider ge63 we weren't allowed to know what

51
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,360
processor was in it but we know it's new we know it's from Intel and we're really

52
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:52,239
pumped for whatever that is just around the corner so thanks for checking out this video of

53
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,239
