I concluded my review of the original Pro X wishing that it had an Intel chip inside. Microsoft is still using the same 13-inch PixelSense touchscreen display, with its great viewing angles, 3:2 aspect ratio, and trimmed down bezels. This year, I’m not so sure it needs an Intel chip anymore. We regret the error.
More impressively, it’s the first Spectre to include a 3:2 aspect ratio display with 20 percent more vertical real estate than the 16:9 screens we’ve had before — and you can pay for an OLED version of the 13.5-inch HP says the new laptop should be up to 34 percent faster than last year’s Spectre x360 13 model. in October.
The 16:10 aspect ratio gives you an extra bit of vertical space, in addition to space on the sides. The XPS covers 100 percent of the Adobe RGB gamut, and it’s bright enough to use both indoors and outdoors (with a bit of glare). percent screen-to-body ratio, which Dell says is higher than any competitors. It has a 93.7
My $799 review unit has the Ryzen 5-4500U, along with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. I attempted to run our routine video test (which involves exporting a five-minute, 33-second 4K video) multiple times using hardware acceleration, and Adobe Premiere Pro consistently crashed during the export. A big part of that is its processor.
A 2020 standout, a 2021 question mark This is an easy review. It’s identical to the Dell XPS 13 9300, which I reviewed back in April , in every way, except one: it has Intel’s new 11th Gen Tiger Lake processors. percent screen-to-body ratio, which gives you more vertical space than most consumer laptops (which are 16:9).
percent screen-to-body ratio. Say hello to the 16:10 aspect ratio, another welcome addition to the XPS 15. The screen covers 100 percent of the Adobe RGB gamut.) This XPS 15 took four and a half minutes to export a five-minute, 33-second video in Adobe Premiere Pro. The panel really does appear to stretch from end to end.
The Surface Pro X has a 13-inch 3:2 aspect ratio display and features Microsoft’s custom SQ1 ARM-based processor and LTE compatibility. While this machine didn’t launch in the best state, mostly due to the many app incompatibility issues that Dieter Bohn encountered during his review , things have improved a bit since then.
We reviewed three of the new MacBook Pros: a $4,399 16-inch model with an M1 Max processor with 32 GPU cores, 64GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage; and 16- and 14-inch models with M1 Pros with 16-core GPUs, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage that list for $3,099 and $2,899 respectively. When you black out the notch, it’s really black — gone.).
If you need proof of just how little Razer has changed its design over the years, compare these pictures to those from our 2019 review and from our 2020 review. Just like I noted in my review of the thinner-than-ever 2021 Blade 15 Advanced , the new fingerprint-resistant coating works as advertised — the bar was low, admittedly.
Aspect ratio aside, the screen on this device is quite good. The screen covers 99 percent of the sRGB gamut and 87 percent of Adobe RGB, which is good (though not comparable to what you’ll see on something like an OLED panel). Sure, reviewers felt that the Gen 8’s was a bit small. Third change: touchpad is bigger.
Also, since I received this unit for review, Alienware has paused on accepting new orders because it needs to catch up with its supply chain backlog. Digging more into what the X17 can do with its powerful components, its performance in Adobe Premiere Pro is as impressive as you might expect. inch screen.
The panel has a 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio — so not only is it wide, but you get an extra bit of vertical space compared to many popular laptops. But the massive screen remains the singular reason to buy this laptop, so you should only spend $1,699 on this if you’re sure that’s what you want.
Remarkable tech for a steep price This laptop was a pain in the neck to review. The Latitude took 28 minutes to export a five-minute, 33-second video in Adobe Premiere Pro. That’s because the battery life is so gargantuan that our traditional rundown test was next to useless. Overall, the battery life is the star of the show.
Another highlight is the 16:10 aspect ratio, which gives the QHD screen extra vertical space. percent screen-to-body ratio. The 9420 took eight minutes and 16 seconds to export a five-minute, 33-second 4K video in Adobe Premiere Pro. It’s a good package for meetings overall. two USB-C ports that support Thunderbolt 4, a uSD4.0
Our reviews generally leave extensive synthetic benchmarking to others — but the Slim 7 has been blowing Intel systems out of the water on those as well and coming close to Intel’s H-series Core i9 in multi-threaded performance. The one area the Slim 7 ran into trouble was video editing.
And I’m not a fan of its 16:9 aspect ratio — Chromebooks that use 3:2 or 16:10 displays are able to cram noticeably more screen real estate into a smaller chassis. My Flex 5 review unit has an Intel Core i3-10110U, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage. Many of the sentences in this review have had “but” at the end.
Aspect ratio aside, the 1920 x 1200 display on our review unit was quite bright, maxing out at 494 nits in my testing. During the Adobe export, the 1165G7 stayed comfortably in the mid-60s to mid-70s (Celsius) with occasional spikes as high as the low 90s. It’s quite vibrant as well, with sharp and bright colors.
The Surface-signature 3:2 aspect ratio makes working with documents and browsing websites more comfortable, but it also gives the Laptop Studio a footprint that’s almost as big as a 15-inch laptop. My review unit has the Core i7 chip, the Nvidia GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage and costs a staggering $2,699.99.
I love the thing because it has a combination of unique advantages, such as its 3:2 aspect ratio, discrete GPU options, and unique detachable screen, that you won’t find in any other laptop on the market. 3:2 aspect ratio: check. Editor’s note: This review is focused on the 13.5-inch inch Surface Book 2 owner since 2018.
It’s not perfect, but it’s practical Recently, I’ve reviewed a large number of Chromebooks aimed at students. The display on my review unit is a 300-nit 1920 x 1080 IPS panel. It does have the cramped 16:9 aspect ratio, something I’ve been glad to see other ThinkPads shifting away from this year.
Editor’s note: This review focuses on the 15-inch version of the Surface Book 3. We also have a full review of the 13.5-inch Microsoft is using the same nearly 4K display (3240 x 2160) from the Book 2 here, with the typical 3:2 aspect ratio found on Surface devices. inch model here. inch Surface Book 3.
It has a generously sized Windows Precision trackpad, and its keyboard is just as delightful to type on as some of HP’s other recent models we’ve reviewed. Most laptops with a good amount of RAM don’t struggle being put through these paces, so I ran a 4K export test in Adobe Premiere Pro to give it more of a workout.
A review of the M16, then, isn’t just an opportunity to evaluate Asus’ product. If you’re looking for a QHD 165Hz display with a 16:10 aspect ratio (which allows Asus to cram a 16-incher into a chassis that’s not much bigger than most 15-inch gaming laptops), the Zephyrus M16 is one of few places you’ll find it. It’s mostly the screen.
inch screen has a respectable 83 percent screen-to-body ratio. It’s a better option for folks who might play the occasional game but also spend time doing some creative work or watching Netflix with high expectations (it gets up to 407 nits and covers 100 percent of the sRGB gamut and 97 percent of Adobe RGB).
Inside of LG’s sole $1,799 Gram 17 configuration (it’s been available for $1,699 since late March), there’s now an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 quad-core processor that promises — and actually delivers — better performance and longer battery life than the 2020 model my colleague Monica Chin reviewed.
Either way, you get a 16:10 aspect ratio with extra vertical space for multitasking. Similar combinations have been tried before: take a look at Verge writer Cameron Faulkner’s review of Lenovo’s IdeaPad Gaming 3 , which also attempted to pair the GTX 1650 with an H-series processor to disappointing results.

I’ve reviewed monitors and laptop displays for over a decade. LG’s well-reviewed 38-inch with 3,840 x 1,600 resolution costs even more at $1,600 and, though it might offer more screen, is equal in pixel density to a 3,440 x 1,440 ultrawide. The $129 Fully Jarvis Monitor Arm is a well-reviewed arm with a 15-year warranty.
The market is saturated with machines at different price points and power levels; Ive been testing and reviewing Chromebooks for years and know what you should be looking for, and what you can expect out of these laptops. Other Android apps like Microsoft Office and Adobe Lightroom are surprisingly capable as well. inches and 2.6
After producing the videos with Clipchamp, creators can choose between different output styles and aspect ratios for popular social media networks, making it a popular tool for online marketers. Microsoft’s deal follows Adobe’s recent $1.28 Some of this functionality was migrated over to the new Clipchamp app, however.
