Even Microsoft couldn’t make Windows 11 work well on 8GB of RAM

Last year, Microsoft’s 13-inch Surface Laptop quickly became one of my favorite thin-and-light Windows notebooks. At $900, it was easy to recommend to anyone wanting MacBook Air-like build quality and battery life on Windows – I even convinced my sister to buy one on sale. But that was last year. This year, thanks to RAMageddon, […]

Dell’s new XPS 14 is better in almost every way

The 2026 XPS 14 is the best premium laptop we’ve seen from Dell in a while, with incredible build quality in a thin machine and good performance thanks to Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” chips. A bonus: Dell killed its lame “Premium Plus” naming scheme. XPS is so back! I can’t believe how […]

If I could only have one laptop for work and gaming, I’d get this one

I’ve loved the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 since it launched in 2020. I bought one for my wife after reading about how awesome it was on a little site called The Verge dot com. Since then, the G14 has gotten some facelifts, chip bumps, an occasional special edition, a full redesign, and a 16-inch sibling […]

Samsung’s flagship laptop is a MacBook Pro clone gone horribly wrong

II know I’m not the only person who wants a MacBook Pro for Windows: a sleek, ultra powerful, super portable machine with an excellent screen and high-quality build. Samsung’s Galaxy Book6 Ultra certainly tries. It’s got a beautiful screen and a nice design, and it’s as solidly built as laptops come. It also looks, well, […]

Behold the crown jewel of outrageous gaming laptops

The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo was my pick for the best laptop of CES: It had two high-end screens, great specs, and the promise of being a one-of-a-kind multitasking and gaming monster. Now that this over-the-top laptop is here, I can tell you it’s as fantastic as I had hoped for. It’s also as expensive […]

I tested three Windows laptops in the MacBook Neo’s price range — there’s no contest

When the MacBook Neo arrived last month, I knew Windows laptop makers were in trouble. For $599, the Neo offers fantastic build quality and solid performance in a sleek and ultra-portable package. Windows laptops in this price range tend to be ugly, cheap-feeling, and a little slow. Despite years of rumors, the MacBook Neo still […]

Asus’ lightweight 16-inch laptop is a formidable MacBook Air alternative

I already put Asus’ new Zenbook A16 through the wringer when I brought a pre-production unit with me to CES. I loved it for its ample power in an impressively light 16-inch chassis. It’s speedy enough for part-time content creation, it’s got lengthy battery life, and its large OLED screen is crisp and vivid. Now, […]

The new MacBook Pro is still fast as hell

Apple’s flagship 16-inch MacBook Pro has reigned supreme in the world of creator-focused laptops since its M-series processor overhaul in 2021. Since then, we’ve mostly seen the same design with year-over-year chip bumps and small refinements. “If it ain’t broke,” right? If you want to know everything about this machine, you can read our review […]

MacBook Air M5 review: a small update for the ‘just right’ Mac

Not much has changed in the new MacBook Air for 2026: It now has the M5 chip, Wi-Fi 7, and faster storage starting at 512GB instead of 256GB. It’s just as outstanding a computer as last year’s model, even if it’s a shame it’s $100 more expensive. The bigger change has happened to the Air. […]

I reviewed the MacBook Neo, ask me anything

It’s MacBook Neo review day, so let’s talk Apple’s new $599 laptop. I’m going to host another AMA for Verge subscribers today at 11AM PT / 2PM ET. Like last time, it’ll all take place in the comments section of this post. What do you want to know about the MacBook Neo? I’ve got the […]
