Take your monitor aesthetics just as seriously as your esports domination? The Porsche Design AOC Agon PD27 is a killer, eye-catching 1440p panel, a winner for both its luxe look and its performance.
The rest of the design is more practical, with a magnesium alloy body that – a little unfortunately – resembles grey plastic from a distance. The fact that it’s metal is obvious once you’re hands on, with a sturdiness and coolness to the touch that emphasises the quality shown throughout the laptop. Design isn’t all about looks, though, and Porsche Design has nailed portability.
A 90% screen-to-body ratio contributes to a compact design, measuring only 209mm from front to back when closed. With an 18mm thickness and 1.2kg weight, this laptop is tailor-made for life on the road. It helps that battery life is equally strong, surviving 9hrs 56mins in our video rundown test. Naturally, you can charge via the USB-C port, although a more mundane proprietary charger comes in the box.
