Below, you’ll find a breakdown of each test and the reasons why we run them. It wouldn’t be fair or possible to run the same kinds of tests on a Chromebook, as they’re Chrome OS-based machines. Chromebooks, on the other hand, go through a series of web-based tests. The idea is to push the laptop to its limits and then compare it against others we’ve tested. The PCWorld team puts each and every Windows laptop through a series of benchmarks that test GPU and CPU performance, battery life, and so on.

Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 review How we tested The Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 offers significant value across a wide variety of fronts and you’ll find that it can perform just as well after hours as it can during the workday. We honestly couldn’t find much at fault here. In addition to that, it also comes with impressive audio-rare for a laptop-and a high-quality 1080p webcam. Loaded with a 13th-gen processor, a stunning OLED, and marathon-length battery life means that it brings a ton of great features to the table. Not only did it make substantial upgrades over the previous versions, but it actually has best-of-class features all while keeping the price well under $2,000. It doesn’t just rely on a few new features to justify a high price tag like other competing 2-in-1s, either. There are a lot of great convertible laptops on the market, but the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 stands apart as the best. If you don’t mind giving up those luscious OLED visuals for a bit more graphics firepower, you should take a look at the Acer Swift X, which is our next entry.ĪSUS VivoBook Pro 15 OLED Ultra Slim Laptop review Nitpicks aside, if you’re looking for reliable performance on a gorgeous OLED screen, the VivoBook Pro 15 is where the party’s at. The overall design is a little plain and the port selection is limited, and you’ll need to drop down to Medium or High graphics in strenuous modern AAA games on the RTX 3050. There are a few minor shortcomings, however.

Plus, the OLED display is absolutely beautiful and battery life is surprisingly good. According to our tester, this laptop is great for “gaming, streaming, and day-to-day productivity.” Thanks to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 (4GB GDDR6) GPU, we were able to hit 60 frames-per-second at 1080p on high graphics during the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark. Looking for a reliable budget gaming laptop? The ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 OLED is a fantastic option.
