The Liquid Retina XDR display remains the gold standard for a laptop panel: 1,000 nits sustained, 1,600 nit peak HDR, and P3 wide colour that graphic designers, photographers, and video editors can trust without reaching for an external reference monitor. ProMotion adjusts the refresh rate from 24 Hz to 120 Hz, so scrolling through Figma or watching 24fps films feels natural without burning battery.

Three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI 2.1, an SD card reader, and MagSafe 3 give you a port layout that genuinely covers most desks without a dongle. At 3.5 lbs it’s heavier than the Air, but if you’re shipping out the work that this chip can handle, that’s a reasonable trade.

The 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display is bright at 500 nits, covers the full sRGB gamut, and renders text with the kind of clarity that makes switching back to Windows or older MacBooks painful. The 1080p front camera finally reflects the quality of the machine it’s built into — video calls look and sound genuinely good without an external webcam.

With two Thunderbolt 3 ports and a MagSafe 3 charging port, the port selection is minimal but sufficient for the target audience. Add a hub if you need more. The thin, quiet, capable MacBook Air 15″ is a compelling machine at its price point for anyone who doesn’t regularly push a CPU or GPU to its thermal limits.

Paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, the XPS 15 accelerates creative apps, handles light gaming, and runs local AI workloads that lean on CUDA. The cooling system is notably improved over previous generations — dual fans and larger heat pipes keep the i7 operating above base clocks for longer sustained sessions.

Build quality remains excellent: a machined aluminium and carbon-fibre chassis, a glass trackpad that’s one of the better examples on a Windows laptop, and a keyboard with 1.3mm of travel that suits day-long writing. Two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a full-size SD card slot, and a USB-A port round out the connectivity story without needing a dock for most use cases.

The keyboard remains the best on any laptop. Four rows, 1.5 mm travel, and the classic ThinkPad key spacing mean you can type at full speed for hours without fatigue. The TrackPoint pointing stick is a genuine differentiator for users who prefer to keep their hands on the keys — once learned, it’s faster than reaching for a trackpad or mouse during text work.

A 2.8K OLED display option (tested here) adds visual quality that surprised even long-time ThinkPad users who associated the line with “good enough” screens. The OLED hits 400 nits HDR, covers 100% of DCI-P3, and makes reviewing documents and presentations appreciably more pleasant on a long travel day.

ASUS has tuned the thermal system well — two full-size fans, a liquid metal CPU thermal interface, and five heat pipes keep the processor above base clocks in demanding tasks without the coil whine that plagued earlier generations. Silent mode drops to near-inaudible noise levels at the expense of some performance, suitable for libraries and meetings.

At 3.64 lbs it’s a genuinely portable machine. The 73 Wh battery manages 6–8 hours of mixed use, which falls short of ultrabooks but is respectable for the performance level. A USB-C port that supports DisplayPort 2.1 and a full-size SD card reader complete a port selection that gamers and creators can actually use.

Performance is mainstream-competitive: Core Ultra 7 165H handles office work, coding, and creative tasks at parity with comparably priced competitors. The 13.5-inch display is a 2256 × 1504 IPS panel at a 3:2 aspect ratio, which provides noticeably more vertical screen space than 16:9 counterparts — a genuine productivity advantage when reading documents or coding.

Framework’s approach means you never throw this laptop away because the battery degraded or a port stopped working — you order the part, watch a 5-minute video, and fix it yourself. It ships from a smaller company with real repair documentation, and if that matters to you as much as frame rates, this is the machine you’ve been waiting for.
