There are many new laptops coming from Dell, Alienware, Asus, Acer, Lenovo, MSI, and Razer. Many may just boil down to chip bumps and slight refreshes, but there are some that are betting big on new ideas, thinness, raw power, and over-the-top accouterments. Here are the ones I’m most excited for.

From a laptop with a screen that grows to a 1-kilogram ultraportable to the world's most powerful 14-inch workstation, these are the laptops that grabbed our attention at CES.

It wasn't difficult to find a common thread among the new Windows laptops showcased at CES 2025. Beyond your expected next-generation refreshes, tech's biggest trade show was all about getting more people to buy into the idea of AI-powered PCs this year.

A seriously innovative Lenovo ThinkBook with a rollable screen, and a storming gaming laptop from Razer were the best of the best at CES 2025.

The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 laptop sports a unique expandable display that could enable some serious on-the-go multitasking — if you’re willing to cough up $3,500 for one.

Acer is also at CES 2025 with a slew of new laptops, desktops and other gadgets to show off, and AI continues to be a big talking point. Most notably, the company is refreshing some of its flagship Aspire and Swift Go laptops with updated x86 processors, including the (relatively) new AMD Ryzen AI 300 CPUs and Intel Core Ultra 200H chips.

CES 2025, which wrapped up on Friday, marked the first year I found more laptops than ever that hit this Holy Grail metric — and they did so without making the sacrifices often considered necessary to achieve a light form factor.
