The 10 best laptops from CES 2023: These stunning notebooks stole the show

The Consumer Electronics Show remains a singular event for PC laptop enthusiasts. Aside from Dell, which ditched the show in recent years, every major PC laptop maker is present, and most use it to reveal their best and brightest for the coming year. AMD (fave.co/3WnH8ev), Intel (fave.co/3WsOjUx), and Nvidia (fave.co/3XLPFJe) new mobile hardware heat. Dozens of also come packing powerful laptops were revealed this year-but these 10 stood out from the crowd.

ACER SWIFT X 14

Arguably the least glamorous laptop on this list, Acer's Swift X 14 still showcases key trends of CES 2023: the broad reach of OLED displays and newer, quicker hardware from Intel and Nvidia.

Let's talk displays. The Swift X packs an optional 14-inch OLED screen with 2,880 x 1,800 resolution and a refresh rate of up 120Hz, as well as VESA DisplayHDR 500 certification. It's a truly gorgeous screen. And though not a massive laptop, the Swift X 14 finds room for Nvidia RTX 4050 discrete graphics and Intel's new 13th-gen Core H-Series processors. A high-resolution 1440p webcam is thrown in for good measure.

Pricing is what seals the deal. The Swift X 14 will hit stores in April starting at $1,099.99. That's great value and positions the Swift X 14 as a budget alternative to more expensive 14-inch workstation and gaming laptops.

ACER PREDATOR HELIOS 300 SPATIAL LABS EDITION 

Acer SpatialLabs View PCs offer glasses-free 3D on LCD screens-a bit like Nintendo's 3DS, but larger and at a much higher resolution. Initially targeted at professional use, Acer brought SpatialLabs to gamers with the Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition.
