The Hottest Laptops Coming in 2018

The video presents a CES 2018 roundup of five top Intel powered laptops, highlighting notable design choices and performance improvements. The LG Gram 13-inch model is emphasized for its exceptional lightness at 965 grams, while also noting a refined chassis with Thunderbolt 3 and a relocated camera, plus a quad-core 8th generation Intel processor and a substantial battery upgrade claimed as 72 hours, along with a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button. The Acer Swift 7 is showcased as an ultra thin option at under 9 millimeters, prioritizing keyboard feel and portability, though it sacrifices newer generation CPU hardware. Dell’s updated XPS 13 is described as 24% smaller in volume yet delivering up to 80% more power, featuring an 8th generation quad-core CPU and a cooling system designed for longer turbo boosts, plus a revised keyboard and a 4K HDR display option. The Dell XPS 15 is highlighted as a two-in-one with integrated RX Vega graphics, representing a significant boost in graphics performance suitable for Photoshop and light video editing, while maintaining a thin profile of about 16 millimeters and introducing Maglev keyboard switches and a magnetic pen accessory. Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon is presented as an enhanced model with Windows Hello facial recognition, up to a 1440p HDR panel (with touch limited to the 1080p model), a quad-core processor, and refined I/O to reduce dongle dependence, all wrapped in a premium chassis intended to last. An honorable mention is given to the MSI Raider GE63, with details kept under wraps about the processor but noted as a new Intel model with anticipated improvements. The video closes with thanks to Intel for sponsorship and a call to explore the linked reviews for each laptop, positioning these as strong contenders in the 2018 ultrabook landscape.
