CES 2025, which wrapped up on Friday, marked the first year I found more laptops than ever that hit this Holy Grail metric — and they did so without making the sacrifices often considered necessary to achieve a light form factor.

Experimental designs, next-gen components, interesting form factors, and unbridled performance — I’ve seen it all over the past few days in Las Vegas. Here are the best laptops from the show that I can’t wait to get in for full review in the coming months.
