For more storage in 2026 (or beyond). If you regularly shovel loads of raw video, images, or other large files onto your laptop, storage is a precious commodity, and getting more of it can be an expensive hassle. But the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x solves for this inconvenience with a ready-to-expand SSD slot, so you can easily upgrade storage — no service center required. Pair that capability with the Snapdragon X processor located within this Copilot+ PC, and you have an intelligent, durable, multi-tasking machine built for your needs now and ready to grow with you into the future.

For launching that side hustle. Nothing kills productivity like a dead battery. And let’s face it: Some of us are better at remembering to charge than others. With up to 34 hours of battery life and the ability to restore to 50 percent in just 30 minutes, the HP Omnibook 5 makes it about as easy as it could possibly be to maintain a workable level of charge — so there are no more excuses standing between you and that side project. Meanwhile, with a Snapdragon X Plus processor inside, it delivers blazing-fast responsiveness and intelligent features, including the HP AI Companion for smarter workflows. Among the additional touches are a 16-inch, 2K OLED display, immersive HP Audio Boost, and a 1080p IR camera, so you’ll be at your best work self wherever you happen to set up a desk.

For optimizing your daily routine. A new year is a chance to dial in that day-to-day and spend your time where it matters most, and there’s no reason your laptop can’t assist. With AI tools at every turn, the ASUS Vivobook 14 is ready to turn your daily routine into a finely tuned, highly efficient machine. ASUS AI applications help you get more done, from organizing your multimedia library with AI-powered categorization to safeguarding your privacy with AI assistance. Even things like audio get a crystal-clear upgrade via AI-powered noise cancellation. The Vivobook 14 runs on a Snapdragon X processor with 29 hours of battery life and the ability to charge 50 percent in just half an hour, so you’ll get impressive performance in a portable package.

For creating your next masterpiece. Ready to sprawl out on the couch and finally launch that Substack or type your next novel from the comfort of bed? The Acer Aspire 14 has you covered, with a 180-degree hinge, touchscreen laptop that delivers lie-flat capability for whatever angle gets your creative juices flowing. It’s not all form, though; there’s function here, too. The Aspire 14 comes equipped with a 1440p QHD camera and Acer AI features that simplify your life — like setting management, video optimization, and communication. The Snapdragon X processor at this machine’s core delivers the high performance you need, wherever you go.

For finally committing to upgrading your security. With the Microsoft Surface, you can keep up with creativity and productivity without compromising privacy in the new year. The Microsoft chip-to-cloud security gives ultimate control and peace of mind as you work on a Copilot+ PC that delivers all-day battery life and advanced AI experiences, like Windows Studio Effects and Live Captions. It’s all packaged in a 13-inch touchscreen display with anti-reflective technology and adaptive color for stunning visuals and lighting. Under the hood is the Snapdragon X Plus processor, delivering fast and smooth performance.

For creating on the go. Perhaps you’re looking to build a cohesive workspace you can take on the road — whether you’re a world traveler, aspiring influencer, or mobile content creator. The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge 15 provides Galaxy ecosystem integration that powers the ultimate portable workflow, enabling you to use your phone as a webcam, for instance, or your tablet as a second screen. Built on the Snapdragon X Plus processor, it’s a Copilot+ PC with Galaxy AI features like Circle to Search, Live Captions, and Cocreator.
