00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.640
here at ces 2018 we've seen a lot

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:09.200
of laptops some from some strange brands

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:14.400
and some from the big guys but which ones did we think are best well these

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:19.920
five in no particular order brought to you by Intel up first is the new gram

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:24.720
from lg with the 13-inch model coming in at just

00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:27.519
965 grams this thing is insanely light

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:32.640
but also surprisingly robust in our review of the late 2017 model we had

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:37.040
said if they added Thunderbolt 3 and changed the location of the camera it

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:42.879
could be basically the perfect laptop and they did both so with a quad-core

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:47.600
8-gen Intel processor increased battery capacity thanks to the 72 watt hour

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:51.840
battery and a fingerprint sensor that's been moved into the power button

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:55.440
this might be the laptop to beat for ultra portables speaking of portable if

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.160
you have a little less space in your backpack but you can take a bit more

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:06.240
weight at just 8.98 millimeters the acer swift 7 is insanely

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:11.439
thin looking at it from the side it almost disappears but somehow they kept

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:16.560
the keyboard feel excellent with a surprisingly long travel the only thing

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:22.880
you're compromising here is the 7th gen Intel processor seems that dual core is

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.840
still alive in super thin ultrabooks but

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:30.159
you could be forgiven for trading power for looks like this

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:36.960
if you can't sacrifice power dell has got you covered though the completely

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:40.560
new xps 13 not only has 24

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:43.040
less volume but a staggering 80 percent

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:47.439
more power it features an Intel 8th gen quad-core processor that they've been

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:53.200
able to soup up with some clever cooling for higher and longer turbo boosts the

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:58.320
build quality remains impeccable it uses the same keyboard as the outgoing model

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.399
which is a good thing and with a 4k HDR

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:06.240
option available for the screen it is a treat for your eyes too moving on to

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.520
dell's xps 15 well now there's a two in

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

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.680
Intel 8th gen processor but built into

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:20.239
the CPU package it has rx vega m graphics this means a massive increase

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:25.520
in graphical performance compared to onboard making it perfect for things

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:29.440
like photoshop and light video editing now it's not the thinnest laptop we've

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:34.560
ever seen but it's still respectable at 16 millimeters and to help achieve this

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:38.480
thinness with two in one folding functionality dell actually developed a

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.640
new type of keyboard switch which they're calling maglev this allows a

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:47.440
surprisingly clicky feel in what would otherwise be a very restrictive amount

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:52.319
of space and uh oh continuing with the trend of magnets there's also a magnetic

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

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

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:07.040
a lot of nice to haves these additions include Windows hello facial recognition

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:08.800
up to a 1440p panel with HDR support

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:13.599
although unfortunately touch is only available on the 1080p model and a

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:18.319
quad-core Intel processor and your fingers actually get treated to a

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:21.040
luxurious 1.8 millimeters of key travel

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

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:28.480
the embarrassment of forgetting the right dongle for your meeting and this

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.560
is all wrapped up in a premium feeling chassis that i imagine will keep on

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:36.519
trucking for years and although that's actually five already we actually have

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:41.760
one honorable mention the MSI raider ge63 we weren't allowed to know what

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

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

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:52.239
our top five Intel laptops from ces 22

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.200
