The new Razer Book is the company's first attempt at making a PC that's built for productivity, rather than gaming. It has a 16:10 display, 11th-generation processors, and is Intel Evo certified.

The story on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano is that it weighs in at 1.99 pounds. That s the headline. It s the fifth entry into the current ThinkPad X1 lineup, which is reserved for the best of the best, and it s all about being compact, thin, and light. It was announced back in September, but now it s finally hitting shelves.
Typically, a laptop that weighs under two pounds comes with some serious compromises, using a Y-series processor. This one has a Core i7-1160G7, which is Tiger Lake UP4, something that would have been called Y-series in the past. But now, it s got Iris Xe graphics and can actually have a TDP of up to 15W. Indeed, it s not as powerful as UP3 (Core i7-1165G7), but it s way better than those Y-series chips we got a couple of years ago.

Acer s Swift 5 series is one that I ve really come to enjoy. While it s made out of a magnesium alloy, it doesn t look or feel cheap like we see from its competition. The last one I reviewed came in this pretty blue chassis with gold accents. The new one that Acer sent me has the same gold accents, but the color is called Mist Green.
It s beautiful. In fact, green and gold is one of my favorite color combinations for products. Seeing it on a laptop like this made me fall in love with it at first sight. It s quite nice.

Gigabyte Aorus 17G Review: A real gaming laptop that s amazingly quiet

Gigabyte’s Aorus 17G gaming laptop, with its high-end parts and sharp-angled design, looks like it should be loud, but it’s not. It’s amazingly quiet, actually.
How quiet? On its default fan profile we registered the laptop at barely 38 dB. That’s barely louder than the background noise of our office in the daytime. Cars driving by on the street registered more noise than the Aorus 17G looping a graphically intense stress test. We’ve heard ultraportable laptops produce more noise under a load than the Aorus 17G does while gaming.
