Fortunately there is no shortage of ultraportable notebooks to choose from these days. There's bound to be something for everyone. The flip side to all this is that the number of options can be daunting and even complicated for some readers. Well, fret not, because we are here to help.
01 LENOVO YOGA SLIM 7 CARBON (FROM $1,699)
The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Carbon is one of the most well-rounded ultraportable notebooks to hit the market in the past year. After all, it was the winner of the Best Ultraportable Notebook category in our Tech Awards 2022. That should tell you just how good this notebook is.
Thanks to a magnesium alloy and carbon fibre chassis, the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon weighs just a smidge over a kilogram. The display, unlike most other notebooks, uses an OLED panel which delivers brilliant colours and outstanding sharpness. Inside, it's powered by AMD's Ryzen 5000 series processors which offer class-leading multi-core performance that far exceeds what Intel's Core processors are capable of and yet maintain high efficiency. And the icing on the cake is how attractively priced it is. The only shortcoming of this notebook is that none of its three USB-C ports support Thunderbolt.
02 APPLE MACBOOK AIR 2022 (FROM $1,699)
It has taken a long time but Apple has finally given us a completely redesigned MacBook Air. At a mere 11.3mm thick and 1.24kg heavy, it’s thinner and lighter than ever. And although it might not have an OLED display, its 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display still looks pretty fantastic.

Taking on a remake of Konami's classic Silent Hill 2 was always going to be a daunting task. Enter Bloober Team, the studio behind other psychological horror titles like The Medium and Blair Witch. While those were solid efforts in their own right, Silent Hill holds a special place in the hearts of horror fans, and any attempt to update it was bound to be scrutinized.
