One of the best laptops last year sees across-the-board improvements thanks to a shift in connection standards.

Apple's desktop-class MacBook Pros have leapt forward again with M3. But remember the latest M2 MacBook Air still offers pro-level performance with a more impressive form factor and price tag.
There are many MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models to choose from, and picking the right one can be difficult if you're unsure of what you want and need. Here's how to decide which is best for you.
The 2024 Asus Zenbook 14 delivers great performance, a hi-res display, and impressive battery life, packed into a lightweight, durable form factor.
The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 2 packs a 2.8K OLED display, AMD processor, and 1080p webcam into a lightweight, eco-friendly frame. Will its shortcomings matter to you?
The ThinkBook Plus is a decent 13.3-inch business laptop with a key addition: an extra 10.8-inch E-Ink touchscreen built into the outside of the lid.
This 11.6in. notebook is an outstanding performer. It's not particularly lightweight or attractive, but the specification is top-notch and the screen, keyboard and touchpad are all perfectly usable. Plenty of professionals will be keen to get their hands on this system, if they can stomach the price tag.
Lenovo's second-generation ThinkPad Helix is a compact and competent ultrabook, although some may not like the highly reflective screen and most will need the optional Ultrabook Pro keyboard.
An ultrabook that can convert to a tablet when the occasion demands, the ThinkPad Twist has a lot going for it. The build quality is very good, and there are enough business-friendly features to make it acceptable as a BYOD system. Battery life may be an issue though.
The LifeBook E8110 is a solid dual-core workhorse that delivers excellent performance and decent battery life. Features like Trusted Platform Module support, a built-in smartcard reader and optional fingerprint recognition should appeal to IT managers.
