Last summer, I reviewed Dell s Latitude 7310 laptop, and I truly enjoyed it. When Dell offered the newer Latitude 7320, I couldn t resist, despite the fact that little has changed. Indeed, the fact that so little has changed is part of the charm. I just love the form factor of this tiny little PC,
The main thing that has changed, of course, is that it now comes with Intel s 11th-generation processors. The new chips come with Iris Xe graphics, and they re a massive upgrade from 10th-gen, especially for business PCs like this one. It s also a bit thinner, a bit lighter, has a 1080p webcam, and more.

Lenovo s ThinkBook 14 Gen 2 is here, and what you need to know is this: it starts at around $630. While it comes with a choice of Intel or AMD Ryzen 4000 processors, we re focusing on the AMD model here. The configuration that Lenovo sent me is the base model, with a Ryzen 5 4500U, 8GB RAM, and 256GB of storage.
And it s pretty awesome given the price. Sure, it doesn t have a lot of bells and whistles like a premium laptop does, but it gets the job done. ThinkBook is a brand that s aimed at small to medium size businesses (SMBs), and this is something that fits in perfectly for an SMB use case. It s inexpensive and checks the right boxes, and it doesn t stand out too much.
Today, Dell announced that it's releasing its flagship XPS 13 laptop with a 4K OLED display. It's a 400-nit panel with a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, and you can purchase it today for $300 more.

When Lenovo refreshed its ThinkPad X1 family back in January, it added a new ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga to its lineup. Honestly, at the time, I didn t know that I should be so excited about it. Sure, it s a ThinkPad X1 Yoga but with titanium materials and a 3:2 screen, right?
But it s so much more than that. This thing is an absolute delight and has quickly become my favorite convertible. In fact, this is part of a larger family of devices from Lenovo that includes the new ThinkPad X1 Nano and the ThinkPad X12 Detachable. For some reason, Lenovo is going all-in on PCs that are just impossibly light.
