In 2023, ultrabooks are once again king. The Acer Swift Edge is a laptop that has managed to surprise us with its overall versatility. This starts with almost impeccable construction quality, and ideal lightness to take it anywhere. Above all, it is the performances observed which are remarkable. The configuration that Frandroid had in his hands had an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U chip with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM and 512 GB of storage capable of getting by no matter how the PC is stressed. In the technical sheet, we can note the presence of a large 16-inch Oled panel and above all, we were able to see a one-day battery life. It is, according to the editorial staff of Frandroidthe best laptop PC of 2023. The result is a starting price of 1,399 euros.

This model is not strictly speaking a laptop PC released in 2023… In this case, the MacBook Air M2 benefited from Apple news with the announcement of a price drop in 2023, making the model much more interesting in terms of quality/price ratio. It is an attractive alternative to the various Windows-based ultraportables on the market. In particular thanks to its almost unrivaled performance/autonomy ratio, provided by the M2 chip. As always, the quality of construction and finishes of the MacBook is impeccable, so you can use it for several years but also take it with you in all circumstances. However, we can regret the absence of an Oled panel, regularly present on Windows alternatives. Its price, increased to 1299 euros, makes the MacBook Air M2 a real safe value in an increasingly competitive market.

Since 2022, the market for gaming laptops has experienced a real surge in prices and it is complicated to fully recommend a reference without involving a large investment for the player. Not to mention that there are many brands in the sector and a multitude of configurations for the same model. With its TUF range, Asus offers a carefully balanced quality/price ratio, particularly with the A15 model. The latter is based on a solid configuration with an AMD Ryzen 7 chip as well as a GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, targeting in particular 1080p gaming sessions. The screen also meets expectations with 144 Hz refresh rate and Nvidia GSync compatibility. If it's not a thunderbolt, the Asus TUF Gaming A15 is our recommendation for regular gamers on a tight budget. Conversely, if your budget is unlimited, the most powerful gaming laptop of the year is undoubtedly the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D.
