For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Stiff metal body
  • Good mix of ports incl. two Thunderbolt 4, HDMI and USB-A
  • Long battery life
  • Core Ultra X7 options for more graphics power
  • Class-leading battery life (about 36 h video, 22 h PCMark 10)
  • Solid, polished build
  • Vivid, accurate screen

Cons

  • HDR is poor even with the OLED screen
  • CPU runs near 90 C under load
  • No webcam shutter
  • Heavy for a 14-inch clamshell
  • Weak 3D/gaming performance on Intel Graphics
  • Screen not very bright
  • Performance only average for the price
  • NotebookcheckAug 2026

    Tested Core Ultra 7 355, 16 GB, 14-inch OLED touch (about $1,500): about as fast as the far pricier XPS 14 in a sturdy metal body with long battery life, held back by weak HDR and some weight.

  • PCWorldJul 2026

    Tested Core Ultra 7 355, 16 GB/512 GB, OLED touch ($1,469): an unexciting but well built laptop whose battery life is the best in its class; graphics and value are only middling.

  • Tom's GuideAug 2026

    Tested Core Ultra 7 355, 16 GB/512 GB, FHD+ OLED touch ($1,469.99): a strong choice for most people thanks to multi-day battery life and a good keyboard, but the screen is dim and glossy and it costs more than the old 14 Plus.

  • Tom's HardwareJul 2026

    Tested Core Ultra 7 355, 16 GB/512 GB, OLED touch ($1,469.99): balances battery, design and price well, but office speed trails rivals in its class.

  • Digital TrendsSep 2026

    Tested Core Ultra 7 355, 16 GB/512 GB, OLED touch ($1,469): stylish and easy to like, especially on sale, but not the best laptop at its price; the MacBook Air M5, XPS 13 and Zenbook A14 are named as alternatives.
