The Ergo Sleeve is a laptop sleeve that unfolds into a portable ergonomic workstation, combining a laptop stand, wrist support and workspace organization into one slim design.

The XPS 16 now weighs just 3.65 pounds (or 3.85 if you opt for the heavier LCD display), which is almost a full pound lighter than its predecessor (4.56 pounds). That's a massive drop and it makes this system closer in heft to a 15-inch MacBook Air (3.3 pounds) than a 16-inch MacBook Pro (4.7 pounds), despite the latter being XPS's usual rival.

The 2.9-pound Prestige 14 Flip AI+ looks a little bit like everything: there's MacBook resemblance to be sure (what laptop on the market hasn't taken inspiration from Cupertino?) but you might also mistake it for a Lenovo Yoga, with the rounded edges and dual hinge design. The Flip 14 AI+ is the 2-in-1 convertible model, with a touchscreen OLED display and space for a stylus built into the bottom of the chassis that snaps firmly (!) in place.

Well, the day has finally come. It's now down to $1,000 over at Best Buy as part of the store's Presidents' Day sale. That's an incredible price for this much laptop. The previously mentioned memory and storage still apply here, along with the 2880 x 1800 OLED display with a 120-Hz refresh rate. This laptop basically has every high-end feature you could imagine, but one of my favorite aspects is the ports.

At CES, I did what you're not supposed to do: I brought a pre-production laptop to use as my primary workhorse during a hectic event. The unproven rifle in question is the new Arm-based Asus Zenbook A16. It's a 16-inch laptop that weighs less than a 13-inch MacBook Air and comes with a high-end Snapdragon X2 processor. Going into CES with a Windows on Arm laptop running an unreleased processor sounds like a recipe for disaster.

With its ProArt lineup, ASUS has commendably addressed a glaring hole in the PC market by targeting video editors and other creative pros. Its latest model even uses a popular camera marque in its name: the ProArt GoPro Edition PX13. It's a true co-branding exercise, with GoPro-like styling, a dedicated GoPro hotkey, mil-spec durability for extreme outdoor users and 12 months of GoPro's Cloud Plus Premium.

Right now, I'm working from the driver's seat of my car, using a setup that feels perfect for remote work. I use an M2 MacBook Air for when I need efficiency and long battery life, and sub in a Lenovo Yoga Book 9i with a dual-screen form factor for peak productivity. Theoretically, I've built out my car with the right gadgets to help me work from anywhere. There's just one thing missing - none of the laptops I own offer cellular connectivity.
