Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7 boasts a sleek design, but falls short in refinement, with sharp edges that detract from its otherwise attractive appearance. The laptop's convertible nature and extensive I/O options are notable highlights. However, the presence of a traditional trackpoint (nipple) may be seen as outdated, given the superior performance of modern touchpads. This review aims to provide an in-depth assessment of this business-focused device, considering both its strengths and weaknesses.

Huawei MateBook 14s

The Huawei MateBook 14s is a compelling choice for those seeking a portable workhorse. Its solid metal build, beautiful 2.5k 90Hz touchscreen display, and stunning 3x2 aspect ratio make it an attractive option. Performance-wise, it delivers on its promise, with a capable CPU and GPU that can handle light office tasks to more demanding video editing and gaming. However, minor drawbacks like a highly reflective display and subpar webcam quality exist, but are outweighed by the laptop's many strengths.
