A slick content-creator laptop, Gigabyte's Aero 16 OLED keeps pace with top-rated competitors, while costing less and beating most of them on port selection.
Lenovo's budget-minded LOQ 15 is easy to type on and competent for 1080p play, but this gaming laptop's weighty plastic build and ho-hum screen keep it from top marks.
High-end features ranging from a world-class webcam to a 120Hz refresh display make the HP Envy 16 a tempting if hefty desktop replacement choice for creative apps and light gaming.
A near-flawless compact gaming laptop, the Alienware x14 R2 packs a super-slim metal design, a powerful pairing of CPU and GPU, and a long-lasting battery, all at an accessible price.
With the Legion Slim 5 Gen 8, Lenovo shrunk its mainstream gaming laptop while maximizing performance. It's also aggressively priced, making its souped-up GPU and ace display that much more appealing.
