Asus

Asus recently launched the all-new TUF Gaming A14 with the latest AMD Ryzen chipsets, which promise to deliver excellent performance and power efficiency along with improved AI capabilities. The TUF Gaming A14, on paper, seems to be an incredible choice for someone looking to buy a compact gaming laptop, which there aren't many of. While the new A14, especially the Ryzen AI 9 chipset variant, might not align with the TUF series' reputation for affordability, it does offer a lot for the money.

While a tablet is a good tool for a creative professional, it doesn't offer the versatility of a full-blown laptop. You could opt for a 2-in-1 laptop, but there aren't a lot of options out there that won't blow a hole in your pocket. Until now, that is. The new Asus ProArt PZ13 is a competitively priced 2-in-1 that features the new Snapdragon X Plus chipset and promises to deliver great performance with even better battery life. It's a good alternative to the Microsoft Surface Pro, especially if you want something cheaper.

Asus was one of the first laptop manufacturers to join the Snapdragon X Elite bandwagon. When Qualcomm announced the new chip for laptops and showed off all of its capabilities, Asus jumped right on board and introduced the Vivobook S15 OLED (S5507). It's the first Vivobook to come with the chipset, and Asus claims impressive performance in a sleek form factor. I spent a couple of days trying out the laptop to find out if the claims were true, and here's what I found out.
