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

  • Sturdy metal body
  • Sharp, colour-accurate 2.2K screen
  • Good mix of ports kept from the last model
  • Fair price for what you get
  • Over 15 hours in the web battery test
  • Quick in daily work
  • Loud, full speakers

Cons

  • Integrated graphics only, yet no thinner or lighter
  • Processor gain over older chips is small
  • Gets hot and slows under long loads; SSD throttles
  • 60 Hz screen with slow response, no touch option
  • Old HDMI 1.4 and a slow card reader
  • Screen could be brighter and more colourful
  • Bottom gets warm
  • NotebookcheckMar 2024

    Tested Core Ultra 7 155H, 16 GB, 1 TB, 2.2K 60 Hz: well built with a sharp, accurate screen, but barely better than the older 7420 and it lost that model's RTX graphics.

  • Laptop MagApr 2024

    Tested Core Ultra 7 155H, 16 GB, 1 TB, 2.2K (US model): Editor's Choice for its long battery life and quick everyday speed; the screen is a bit dim.

  • PCWorldMar 2024

    Tested Core Ultra 7 155H, 16 GB, 1 TB, 2.2K (US model): Editors' Choice; an all-rounder with excellent battery life, even if it slows under sustained load.

  • MySmartPriceJul 2024

    Tested Indian Core Ultra 7 155H, 16 GB, 1 TB, 2.2K: a neat, solid work laptop with fast charging, but a bit expensive given its touchpad and real-world battery life.
