New Amazon Kindle Oasis (2021): what we want to see

If you want an affordable Amazon ereader you look to the entry-level Amazon Kindle line; if you something a little fancier, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is there for you, and if you want the cream of the crop the Amazon Kindle Oasis is your bet.

We last saw an Amazon Kindle Oasis ereader launched in July 2019, so it's about time a new version of the premium book replacement came out, as the company typically takes two years between its ereaders.

Therefore, a mid-2021 release date for the next Kindle ereader sounds plausible, though by no means definite, as we've been waiting even longer for new Kindle and Paperwhite devices.

We haven't heard any news or leaks about a new Amazon Kindle Oasis for 2021 - not yet, at least - but until then, we've come up with a wishlist of what we want to see. We'll also collect all information when we do receive it, and list it below, so you can see all there is to know.

As the top-end model of Amazon's three Kindle ereader lines, the Oasis costs a lot - its feature set needs to match, with enough features to knock your socks off, otherwise it'd seem like a waste of cash.

• What we want to see in the next Amazon Kindle (2021)

Cut to the chase

• What is it? Amazon's next premium ereader
• When is it out? Possibly some time in 2021
• How much will it cost? Around $249.99 / £229.99 / AU$399

New Amazon Kindle Oasis (2021) release date and price

The previous three Amazon Kindle Oasis devices came out in 2016, 2017 and 2019, so it would seem they're released every year or two - that would make it likely a 2021 release date is on the cards for the fourth-generation version.

Saying that, we didn't see any Kindles launched in 2020, despite a new Paperwhite being long-overdue. It could seem, then, that the Covid-19 pandemic has affected production, but that's just speculation - either way, don't be surprised if there's no new Oasis this year.

In terms of price, the Amazon Kindle Oasis devices are always pricey - the last one started at $249.99 / £229.99 / AU$399 for 8GB storage and went up to $279.99 / £259.99 / AU$449 if you wanted 32GB worth of books - if you wanted 4G connectivity to download books on the go, you'd fork over a lofty $349.99 / £319.99 / AU$559.

Unless there's a huge new feature, we'd expect the Amazon Kindle Oasis would got a similar amount.

What we want to see

Here are all the changes and new features we want the Amazon Kindle Oasis (2021) to have. And no, a USB-C port won't be on this list, because that's not something we want to see -it's something we expect to see.

1. A color screen

By the sounds of things, color e-ink screens are the next 'thing', with TCL confirmed to be working on an ereader that's not monochromatic but colored, and it's very likely Amazon is at least working on such technology too.

While a color display wouldn't be something we'd like to see in the Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite lines - such technology would likely bump the prices of those higher than would befit an entry-level or mid-range device - but it'd work on an Oasis device, which cost quite a bit more.

A color ereader would let you read magazines and comic books exactly how they appear, not in a gloomy black-and-white, and since Amazon Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimted both give you access to lots of both, it'd let you make the most of your Kindle.

2. Improved internet connection

(Image credit: Future)

Amazon Kindle ereaders only connect to the slower 2.4GHz internet bandwidth, not the faster 5GHz - since not everyone uses the former anymore, it can result in some people being unable to connect their Kindles to the web.

We'd like to see the Kindle Oasis compatible with our 5GHz Wi-Fi so we can actually download books onto it without faff. Kindles can often have trouble connecting to hotspotted smartphones too, an issue we'd like to see fixed in the future.

3. A redesigned library layout

Currently on Amazon Kindle devices, seeing a list of your owned (or downloaded) books can be a little annoying. The Kindle home page doesn't show you many, giving you just a small glimpse at your library, with the rest of the page being a storefront with new and recommended books.

If you head over to your library, you won't just see a list of your books but everything you've downloaded from the Kindle store, and things you've downloaded onto your device yourself, with only six entries per page. Sure, you can use the filter options, but they're a touch unintuitive - for example, you can filter by 'Read' or 'Unread', but there's no option for part-read books, and they're sent to the 'Unread' section.

We'd like to see the Amazon Kindle library re-organized into a more easy-to-navigate way, perhaps with some customization (like variable amounts of books listed) so people can arrange it in a way that's logical to them. Oh, and this should go without saying, but the page navigation buttons should let you scroll through pages of the library, not throw you to a different menu.

4. A lower price

(Image credit: TechRadar)

If you winced when you saw the previous Amazon Kindle Oasis price in the section above, you're not alone - in our full review we found that it was an accomplished ereader, but not one which totally justified its high price.

We'd like to see a lower price, people can spend less on the device and more on their books. An exception to this would be made if new features justified the higher price, of course - that color e-ink screen won't come cheap, after all.

5. An improved handle design

Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Amazon Kindle Oasis is its 'ridge-style' design - one half protrudes from the other, to make a natural hand-hold, where the center of mass is snugly in whichever hand you're holding the thing with.

Well, in theory this is how it works, but in our full Kindle Oasis (2019) review we noted 'the ridge wasn’t quite thick enough to offer a comfortable hold' - we found it a little challenging to use the thing as intended. It's a good idea, but needs refining.

We'd like to see the next Kindle Oasis redesign this handle, so it's a little thicker, and perhaps feels a little more natural to hold.

The best Amazon Prime benefit is one you might not even know you have

When you boot up a new Amazon Kindle device, you'll be offered a short free trial to Amazon's literary subscription service Kindle Unlimited and, since it's free, it's likely you'll accept. Then you'll either renew, and continue to enjoy the service, or decide instead to buy your own books from here on.

However, you may not realize if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber (as many, many people are) there's actually a secondary service that might be of use to you - Amazon Prime Reading.

Amazon Prime Reading isn't exactly one of the company's flagship services, and it's certainly not as well-known as Prime Video, Prime Music or the Prime shopping benefits. But if you're an avid reader, of magazines or comic books as well as novels and poetry, it may be for you.

• These are the best Kindle devices

So what is Amazon Prime Reading?

Amazon Prime Reading is a repository of books, both new and old, popular and exclusive, fiction and non-fiction. There's also a collection of comic books and magazines. You can see the whole list here (it also differs depending on where you live) but we'll run you through the highlights.

The collection of novels (and poetry) is the bulk of Amazon Prime Reading. There are loads of popular books - the first two Harry Potter books are there in the UK - non-fiction texts, dramas, romance novels and more.

There's a series of Amazon Original Story texts on the service - these are works from authors whom Amazon has commissioned for exclusive books for the service.

(Image credit: Amazon)

Perhaps the most exciting part of Prime Reading is its huge series of Classics, with a huge number of classic novels and poems from different time periods and regions. There are Austen novels, Shakespeare plays, transcendentalism essays, philosophical works and more.

Sure, most of these classics are in the public domain, and therefore your access to them isn't a huge perk, but the accessibility of them here makes them worth considering. For translated works, we've also always found the translations to be top-notch.

Not into classic texts? We'd recommend giving them a try anyway. If you like them, you've discovered something new, and if not, you'll at least be better position to explain why you don't like other works.

Great for Kindle users, then...

Amazon Prime Reading is great for Kindle users who don't want to spend more money on new books, but it doesn't only benefit people who own an Amazon ereader.

There's a Kindle iOS and Android app that works similar to the actual devices, and this lets you read texts on your smartphone or tablet. Sure enough Prime Reading works on the app, so you can peruse a selection of popular reads from your personal device.

(Image credit: Future)

You can even read the texts on your computer from the Amazon website, thanks to its Kindle Cloud Reader, so if you don't own any other device beyond a computer, you can still use Prime Reading (though we're not totally sure you exist).

There is one catch, and that's that you can only have 10 Amazon Prime Reading books downloaded to your device at once - for most people, who like reading one thing at a time, that isn't an issue. However, people going on holiday, students studying various texts at once, or reading commitment-phobes might find themselves restricted by this.

Read on

Amazon Prime Reading seems best suited to people rediscovering their love of reading - it doesn't always contain the newest books, and arguably there are some classics missing. But if you're not the kind of person who always picks up new releases, or has a particular niche they're attached to, it's great.

You might be using your Amazon Prime membership for something else, like streaming shows on Prime Video or getting next-day shopping delivery, and if that's you Prime Reading is a free extra you can easily make the most of.

If Amazon Prime Reading does get you turning pages again, that's great - according to Healthline reading has been linked to reduced stress, better sleep, improved brain connections and a much gooder vocabulary.

And if you decide to read more through Prime Reading, don't forget that local and independent book sellers have been struggling in the Covid-19 pandemic, and they often have great selections of works you wouldn't find elsewhere. We've also got a list of the best Amazon alternatives, which includes bookstores.

Why Wi-Fi 6 is important to have in a business laptop

 Wi-Fi 6, the latest Wi-Fi standard that surpasses the previous Wi-Fi 5 generation, is here. But does the new networking tech live up to the hype? We think it does, and we also think that, if you’re looking to buy a business laptop, you should make sure that it supports Wi-Fi 6 before pulling the trigger on a purchase. Here’s a look at why.  

 Faster speed means superior productivity 

 

One of the biggest advantages of Wi-Fi 6 over its predecessor generation is that it’s significantly faster. This means that people using Wi-Fi 6 will be able to browse the web, view media, edit online documents, and download and upload files much faster. 

This increased speed is immensely valuable for productivity scenarios where getting work done fast and efficiently is crucial. With the power of Wi-Fi 6, business laptop users can absolutely crush their workloads.

 Better stability keeps you clear of slowdowns 

 

Another huge reason why Wi-Fi 6 support is valuable in business laptops is because Wi-Fi 6 networks can handle dealing with lots of devices connected at once much better than older Wi-Fi networks can. This means that when you use your laptop in, say, a crowded airport or a busy office, you won’t experience slowdowns. If you do, they’ll be minimal. 

The reason why this is so important is because before, the slowness of Wi-Fi connections in public areas hindered one of the biggest advantages of the laptop form factor: portability. It’s hard to appreciate that you can work from anywhere if you can’t actually do so because of poor Wi-Fi, but Wi-Fi 6 fixes that problem entirely.

 Longer battery life provides maximum longevity 

 

Wi-Fi 6 is also important for business laptops because Wi-Fi 6 compatible devices are able to connect to networks by using less power. This means that the battery life you lose to being connected to Wi-Fi is significantly reduced compared to the previous Wi-Fi generations.

Since the whole point of a laptop is to avoid being tethered to plugs on the wall, the increased battery life that Wi-Fi 6 brings is very beneficial to the average business user. You’ll be able to comfortably work all day long knowing that you won’t have to charge your device until the workday is over. 

 So, which laptop should you choose? 

(Image credit: HP)

There are many superb Wi-Fi 6 compatible laptops available, but we think the best ones are the devices from the HP Intel Evo line. This includes the budget-friendly HP Envy x360 as well as the 13 and 14-inch variants of the luxurious HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 laptop. Both devices feature powerful 11th Gen Intel processors, excellent Intel Xe graphics, and all the memory and storage you’ll ever need. 

If you want an affordable laptop that’s still very capable of tackling the majority of productivity tasks,  go with the HP Envy x360. The specs on it are a bit less capable than what you’ll find on the Spectre, but the price is also considerably lower. This makes it a superb option for people looking for a competent mainstream business laptop.

The HP Spectre x360, on the other hand, is a premium device that has stronger specs and advanced features like a 4K touch display and the ability to use the device like a tablet. It’s more costly than the Envy, but it’s more than worth the price.

HP ENVY x360

The HP ENVY x360 is your best bet if you’re looking for a great balance between price and performance. It’s capable, affordable, and features a sleek, attractive design.

HP Spectre x360

The HP Spectre x360 is the definition of high quality. It delivers even stronger performance than the HP ENVY x360 and features an even more attractive and premium chassis, all while still remaining fairly affordable (though it will set you back more than the ENVY will). It comes in 13-inch and 14-inch variants.

Need to manage your small business? Look no further than an HP Intel Evo device

Owners of small businesses looking for tools to help their trade succeed should have a quality laptop at the top of their list. Keeping an eye on business logistics, effectively dealing with streams of inevitable paperwork, and creating and managing marketing content for customers are all things business owners need to be able to do, and a good laptop will give you the ability to do all of that and more. Additionally, compared to traditional desktop computers that take up a bunch of space and require a full-sized desk for effective use, laptops are super slim and light as a feather. This makes them easy to take with you no matter where you have to go, and you can use them on pretty much any surface.

While there are many awesome laptops out there, there’s nothing better suited for business owners than HP Intel Evo devices. Featuring plenty of productivity horsepower, support for the fastest Wi-Fi networks around, excellent battery life, and more, HP Intel Evo laptops outperform the competition without breaking a sweat. Here’s a look at how. 

So, what makes HP Intel Evo laptops so great? 

(Image credit: HP)

The main reason why HP Intel Evo laptops are superior to the competing devices is because they’re equipped with new 11th Gen Intel processors. Compared to previous processor generations and chips made by competitors, Intel’s 11th Gen lineup is both more powerful and faster when it comes to processing files, web tabs, programs, and more. This means that no matter what productivity work you need to do for your business, the processor will be up to the task. You can build your web presence, view important analytics, or work your way through paperwork documents in the blink of an eye, and thanks to the robust integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics hardware within the processors, you can even create and edit visual media for use in advertisements.  

Another thing that makes HP Intel Evo devices excellent are their displays — both the quality of them as well as the number of display options you can choose from. Everything from a simple FHD screens ideal for basic productivity tasks to gorgeous 4K panels perfect for the creation and editing of images and video are available, and features like touch support and anti-reflective coatings ensure that you’ll be able to get the most out of your laptop regardless of where or how you prefer to work.   

Next up is Wi-Fi 6, which is the latest Wi-Fi standard. Compared to the previous generation of Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 6 networks have better speed, higher stability, and farther range. Additionally, Wi-Fi 6 networks strain the battery of devices connected to them less as well. Each HP Intel Evo device is fully compatible with Wi-Fi 6, so if you’ve got a Wi-Fi 6 router, you’ll be able to enjoy the best wireless internet available with these laptops.

The fun doesn’t stop at Wi-Fi 6, though. Another fantastic feature of HP Intel Evo laptops is that they feature Thunderbolt 4 ports, which recently superseded Thunderbolt 3 as the ultimate connectivity port for various accessories and peripheral devices. Thunderbolt 4 allows the user to transfer data to and from storage devices at a rate of 40Gb (gigabits) per second, which is blazing fast. You can also use these ports for 100W charging, which results in incredibly speedy recharges. Another excellent feature of Thunderbolt 4 is the ability to hook up to two 4K displays to your device, which is awesome if you want to use your laptop in a workstation-style environment on occasion. Thunderbolt 4 also supports longer cables than Thunderbolt 3 did, which means that you’ll have more flexibility when setting up docking stations and other peripherals.   

All of this is great, but none of it matters if these devices can’t go the distance and last all day without you needing to charge them constantly. Thankfully, with their average battery life of 10 hours, you can rest easy knowing that HP Intel Evo laptops will get you through the business workday without any issues whatsoever.

Which HP Intel Evo laptop is right for you? 

(Image credit: HP)

Ultimately, all HP Intel Evo laptops are superb, and this is supported by the rigorous testing done to ensure that each laptop performs up-to-snuff. However, while we do think all of the available Ultimately, all HP Intel Evo devices are superb, and this is supported by rigorous tests that guarantee these devices are up-to-snuff in terms of marketed performance and other capabilities. However, while all of these laptops are great, one may appeal to you more than the others depending on what your needs are.

If you’re looking to save as much money as possible or you just need something that performs excellently for general business productivity, go with the HP ENVY x360. Despite being a little less capable and having fewer luxuries available compared to the HP Spectre x360, it still crushes basic productivity tasks and features superb battery longevity and a sleek design. 

Business owners that want to maximize power or work with more intensive tasks such as media editing should opt for either the 13-inch or 14-inch variant of the HP Spectre x360. This device is a little pricier than the ENVY, but makes up for it by offering better performance, luxurious display options, and an overall design that screams “premium.” The 13-inch version is ideal if you’d prefer something as small as possible, while the 14-inch version is great for people who like having a larger display.

HP ENVY x360

 The HP ENVY x360 offers an excellent balance between price and performance, making it an excellent affordable option that everyone will love.

HP Spectre x360

The HP Spectre x360 is the most premium HP Intel Evo device available, offering top-notch performance and a design without equal. If you’re looking for the ultimate business laptop, this is it.

MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) release date, price, news and leaks

The new MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) has been keenly awaited. The MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019 had made a splash with its bigger display that provided more screen real-estate without increasing the actual size of the MacBook Pro 15-inch. And, fans of this newer flagship are anxious for an upgrade, especially because aside from the step up in screen size (with way slimmer bezels), the overall design hasn't changed all that much.

Save for a low-key GPU upgrade in 2020 – perhaps due to some folks getting impatient to see the sequel to the Pro line’s larger-screened model – there hasn’t really been any official news about the follow up to the original model. Lucky for us, with Apple’s spring event fast approaching, rumours surrounding the new MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) are starting to pile up.

Based on these rumours, the new MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) is expected to make some big moves on the design front. That could include ditching the Touch Bar, bringing back MagSafe, and even more exciting, a new Mini-LED screen. That’s without mentioning the prospect of pepping up the new MacBook Pro with what could be the sequel to the impressive M1 chip.

It’s starting to look like we may be looking at a considerably more powerful follow up to the line. All things considered, the MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) could be a seriously enticing release. And, we’re here to prepare you for what’s to come, gathering everything we know and have heard about it below, from its rumoured new features to its expected arrival date.

Cut to the chase

• What is it? The successor to the original MacBook Pro 16-inch
• When is it out? Q3 of 2021 most likely
• What will it cost? Unknown, but likely similar to current pricing ($2,399 or £2,399, AU$3,799)

(Image credit: Future)

MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) release date and price

Apple’s revamped MacBook Pro 16-inch is likely to debut in Q3 of 2021, going by the most recent buzz on the laptop grapevine.

One of the most reliable sources of leaks and tips on Apple, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, previously said that he believes that the incoming 16-inch model could debut in Q2 or Q3 of 2021.

A recent DigiTimes report then pointed to a Q2 debut, but that isn’t the most reliable source in our experience, and Kuo has further predicted that fully redesigned MacBooks using Apple’s own custom ARM-based processors will be turning up in the second half of 2021. Most recently, Kuo reasserted the Q3 date for the launch of the MacBook Pro 16-inch refresh.

Furthermore, respected tipster Mark Gurman has indicated a launch around mid-2021, which fits with Q3. In theory, then, the new MacBook Pro could potentially pitch up as soon as July. Of course, it’s entirely possible that even if Q3 is Apple’s plan, the launch window could change, particularly given the unusual level of disruption the tech industry has been subject to in recent times due to coronavirus interfering with supply chains and logistics.

Regarding the cost, we haven’t yet heard anything on the grapevine as to what the asking price of the incoming MacBook Pro will be. The current MacBook Pro 16-inch starts at $2,399 (£2,399, AU$3,799), for reference, so that’s obviously a good ballpark figure in terms of where to set your expectations.

(Image credit: Future)

MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) design

As mentioned, a lot of the chatter coming from the rumor mill indicates that Apple is planning a proper redesign for this model, which is obviously exciting.

That said, a report from Bloomberg (by Mark Gurman) observes that the new MacBook Pro 16-inch will be ‘similar’ to its current incarnation, but will have changes to the design, albeit ‘minor’ ones; so that sounds a bit more reserved.

At any rate, according to a research note from Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s revamped laptop will drop the ‘curvy’ looks of the current MacBook Pro 16-inch, instead utilizing a ‘flat-edged form factor design’ similar to the ‌iPhone 12‌.

One of the biggest rumored changes, though, as claimed by both the above sources, is the possibility that Apple is set to drop the Touch Bar; at least on some 16-inch models, anyway.

The context-sensitive touch strip at the top of the keyboard is not favored by some – and adds to the cost of the MacBook Pro – so could therefore be dropped, Kuo believes, to be replaced by traditional function keys. Gurman reports that Apple is testing versions of the MacBook Pro 16-inch which don’t have the Touch Bar, as some users don’t find it convenient or particularly useful.

(Image credit: Future)

In short, there may at least be versions of the MacBook Pro 16-inch which do not have the Touch Bar on board (although such a scenario may affect the amount of devs supporting the feature in their apps – if it isn’t guaranteed that everyone will be using it).

But if the Touch Bar could be getting kicked into, er, touch, then there’s another design feature apparently set to return – the MagSafe charger. This was a popular charging setup in the past, which as the name suggests uses a magnetic connection, so if the cable is unexpectedly yanked – say, it’s tripped over by someone – then it easily and harmlessly comes out (as opposed to pulling the plugged-in MacBook off a table, for example).

MagSafe also offers faster charging, another potential boon with this switch – although hopefully Apple will maintain the possibility of USB-C charging as an option, too, if this is the route which the MacBook Pro 16-inch is taking. Again, both Kuo and Gurman believe this design change is coming.

Kuo has also indicated that the incoming MacBook Pro 16-inch will have more ports, although he didn’t elaborate on exactly what those connectors might be. Still, that sounds like promising news for those hoping for good things on the connectivity front. (In our review of the current MacBook Pro 16-inch, one of the main downsides of the new model highlighted is that there are just four Thunderbolt ports, and no other connectivity options besides, like an SD card slot for example).

(Image credit: Future)

MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) leaks and rumors

Aside from the aforementioned design changes, there are two main rumors floating around concerning big alterations to the existing MacBook Pro 16-inch formula. Namely that Apple is intending to switch from Intel processors to its own silicon, and that a new and radically different screen will be used.

Ming-Chi Kuo has said that there will be no Intel CPU options for the new MacBook Pro 16-inch, with only Apple chips used, and Gurman reckons that Apple will go for the sequel to its M1 chip which will offer ‘more cores and enhanced graphics’. Exactly how many cores this successor chip – which may be named the M1X – will have has been the subject of some varied speculation, and we’ve seen mention of up to 12-cores, or even 20-cores (with 16-cores plus 4 power-efficient cores).

Take that with a large helping of caution, but any increase in the oomph provided by Apple’s custom silicon is going to cause some serious excitement, given the performance feats Apple has already managed with the M1 itself (there is, of course, still always the possibility that Apple will stick with the M1).

(Image credit: Apple)

The Mini-LED screen is the other major notable rumor which keeps popping up around the MacBook Pro 16-inch. Kuo has previously predicted that some MacBook Pro models arriving in 2021 (and 2022) will benefit from Mini-LED technology (as well as the iPad). Theoretically, the savings made from using the M1 processor (or its successor) will help to pay for the additional cost of Mini-LED.

Mini-LED would mean a display with more vivid colors and better dynamic range, plus superior contrast and brightness in general – all with better power-efficiency. So it could be quite a substantial step up in terms of overall display quality.

The potential fly in the ointment is that oddly, in Kuo’s latest research note concerning the Touch Bar being ditched which we’ve already discussed in depth, there was no mention of Mini-LED at all. And the report from Gurman doesn’t talk about Mini-LED tech either, but does note that Apple intends to improve the screen of the MacBook Pro 16-inch with “brighter, higher-contrast panels”.

Given that, it now seems a bit uncertain whether Mini-LED is in the cards or not – although it was only ever just a rumor. At any rate, it does seem that Apple intends to produce a better display of some kind, even if it isn’t Mini-LED equipped.

Another potential development is that if Apple does indeed keep the Touch Bar – at least on some models of the MacBook Pro 16-inch – it could be Force Touch-enabled. That tech allows for the registering of different strengths of presses on the bar, which could be useful for activating additional functions – or perhaps avoiding accidental presses of the Touch Bar, which can be aggravating. Although the only evidence for this is an Apple patent thus far, and as we know, patents can often remain avenues of research that never reach a final product. We wouldn’t hold our breath waiting for this one, in other words.

All that said, an older leak – dating back to August 2020 – chewed over the prospect of an entirely new 2nd-generation Touch Bar, which could be considerably bigger than the existing strip. This does, however, fly very much in the face of what the more recent rumors we’ve already covered – from more reliable Apple sources – seem to be saying. It doesn’t seem likely that Apple would put more focus on the Touch Bar, in all honesty, although you never know...

Finally, another possibility aired on the MacBook Pro grapevine is that the new 16-inch model will carry mobile variants of AMD’s incoming RX 6700 series graphics cards, which are rumored to arrive in March. That certainly seems plausible.

3. Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX701

The best Asus gaming laptop

CPU: Intel Core i7-8750H | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 (8GB GDDR6 VRAM, Max-Q) | RAM: 24GB | Screen: 17.3-inch FHD (1,920 x 1,080) 144Hz panel | Storage: 1TB M.2 SSD

Brilliant performance

Gorgeous design

Very expensive

Short battery life

The Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX701 is not only among the best Asus laptops in the world right now, but it's also among the best gaming laptop. It’s all thanks to Asus packing in a 6-core Intel processor and the latest RTX 2080 graphics from Nvidia. Better yet, Asus has also managed to keep the Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX701 impressively thin and light. While most gaming laptops are big chunky affairs due to their high power components, but Asus has pulled off some brilliant design engineering to make the ROG Zephyrus S GX701 not much thicker or heavier than many standard laptops. It's incredibly expensive, however, but for the price, you're getting an amazing machine and one of the best Asus laptops ever made.

5. Asus VivoBook S15

Thin, light and capable

CPU: up to 10th-generation Intel Core i7 – i9 | Graphics: Intel UHD 620 | RAM: 8GB / 12GB / 16GB 2400MHz DDR4 | Screen: 15.6” LED-backlit Full HD (1920 x 1080) 16:9 IPS level wide-view technology | Storage: 256GB / 512GB / 1TB PCIe SSD

Bright, colourful 15.6-inch screen

Weighs just 1.8kg

Powerful i7 processor

Merely average battery life

Only 1080p resolution

ScreenPad is a bit weird

In a nutshell, the Asus VivoBook S15 is one of the best laptops we’ve tested in recent months. Short of handling heavy-duty gaming, this is an extremely capable laptop that’s just as impressive as the 16-inch MacBook Pro, but is smaller, lighter and considerably less expensive. If you’re looking for a powerful laptop without paying a premium, this is among the very few out there worth considering. And, you’re getting a vivid screen, an ErgoLift hinge for a better typing position and that legendary ASUS ScreenPad to improve your productivity with it. So you’re basically getting a feature-rich laptop for considerably less than its rivals.

Great 1080p performance

New AMD processors

Very good battery life

Noisy fans

Design won’t be for everyone

Budget-minded gamers have another excellent option in their hands. While Asus TUF A15’s price tag isn’t exactly bargain basement, it is among the best Asus laptops for those who can stretch their budget just a bit for the sake of performance. This laptop touts not just an excellent display with a 144Hz refresh rate option and fantastic battery life, but also AMD’s latest chips and Nvidia’s best graphics cards for gaming in the budget and mid-range sphere. This gaming laptop is never going to compete with the most powerful out there, but it’s an excellent value for gamers who don’t really care to.

ScreenPad Plus is better

Slim and light design

Great performance

Keyboard placement is awkward

ScreenPad Plus still isn't for everyone

The Asus ZenBook Duo 14 UX482E’s dual-screen format sets it apart from everything else, and that secondary screen isn’t a mere curio either. It’s now more useful and customizable than ever, and its functionality should expand in due time. That’s on top of giving you a second screen to spread out. With or without that second screen, this is also one capable laptop, touting impressive specs for plenty of power, as well as a beautiful main screen and an awesome battery life. This is a game-changer of a laptop, for sure, with plenty of potential that we’re sure to come with updates.

A single USB-C port

Asus's ZenBook range of ultra-thin laptops have shown the world how to do gorgeously-designed thin and light laptops right, all the while packing with powerful components. It's a pricey laptop, to be sure, but if you're after the very best of what Asus has to offer, the ZenBook 3 is a fantastic choice.

10. ASUS ZenBook 13 UX333FAC

A 13-inch laptop with a number pad

CPU: Intel Core i7 10510U | Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 620 | RAM: 16 GB | Screen: 13.3" (16:9) LED-backlit FHD (1920x1080) 60Hz | Storage: 512GB SSD

Has a numpad

Really compact

Long battery life

Weird keyboard layout

No Thunderbolt 3

Asus is offering another reason to go for 13-inch laptops – the numeric pad that’s understandably a constant no-show on most laptops. The ASUS ZenBook 13 UX333FAC has found a way to add the feature, albeit a virtual one, on its trackpad, which now acts like Apple’s Touch Bar to accommodate it. But, it isn’t the only feature this laptop boasts. It’s got excellent battery life, a thin bezeled display and an impressive performance in a sophisticated chassis that you can easily show off at business meetings. The keyboard is slightly cramped and the display is non-touch, but it’s pretty affordable so those aren’t deal-breakers.
