here at ces 2018 we've seen a lot
of laptops some from some strange brands
and some from the big guys but which ones did we think are best well these
five in no particular order brought to you by Intel up first is the new gram
from lg with the 13-inch model coming in at just
965 grams this thing is insanely light
but also surprisingly robust in our review of the late 2017 model we had
said if they added Thunderbolt 3 and changed the location of the camera it
could be basically the perfect laptop and they did both so with a quad-core
8-gen Intel processor increased battery capacity thanks to the 72 watt hour
battery and a fingerprint sensor that's been moved into the power button
this might be the laptop to beat for ultra portables speaking of portable if
you have a little less space in your backpack but you can take a bit more
weight at just 8.98 millimeters the acer swift 7 is insanely
thin looking at it from the side it almost disappears but somehow they kept
the keyboard feel excellent with a surprisingly long travel the only thing
you're compromising here is the 7th gen Intel processor seems that dual core is
still alive in super thin ultrabooks but
you could be forgiven for trading power for looks like this
if you can't sacrifice power dell has got you covered though the completely
new xps 13 not only has 24
less volume but a staggering 80 percent
more power it features an Intel 8th gen quad-core processor that they've been
able to soup up with some clever cooling for higher and longer turbo boosts the
build quality remains impeccable it uses the same keyboard as the outgoing model
which is a good thing and with a 4k HDR
option available for the screen it is a treat for your eyes too moving on to
dell's xps 15 well now there's a two in
one and there are a lot of cool things about this laptop it not only has an
Intel 8th gen processor but built into
the CPU package it has rx vega m graphics this means a massive increase
in graphical performance compared to onboard making it perfect for things
like photoshop and light video editing now it's not the thinnest laptop we've
ever seen but it's still respectable at 16 millimeters and to help achieve this
thinness with two in one folding functionality dell actually developed a
new type of keyboard switch which they're calling maglev this allows a
surprisingly clicky feel in what would otherwise be a very restrictive amount
of space and uh oh continuing with the trend of magnets there's also a magnetic
pen for people who are into that moving on we've got the lenovo x1 carbon now
this isn't really a new laptop but we feel like the new model steps it up with
a lot of nice to haves these additions include Windows hello facial recognition
up to a 1440p panel with HDR support
although unfortunately touch is only available on the 1080p model and a
quad-core Intel processor and your fingers actually get treated to a
luxurious 1.8 millimeters of key travel
with excellent tactile feel as well as a whole heap of i o to prevent you from
the embarrassment of forgetting the right dongle for your meeting and this
is all wrapped up in a premium feeling chassis that i imagine will keep on
trucking for years and although that's actually five already we actually have
one honorable mention the MSI raider ge63 we weren't allowed to know what
processor was in it but we know it's new we know it's from Intel and we're really
pumped for whatever that is just around the corner so thanks for checking out this video of
our top five Intel laptops from ces 22
