Lenovo's new Yoga Tab Plus claims our best tablet of CES 2025 in part thanks to its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and in-house large-language models to support "Lenovo AI Now." "Unlike anything that's previously been available for industry-wide production."

The former is now known as the Ryzen AI Max and Ryzen AI Max Plus, boasting the most powerful graphics AMD’s ever put in a chip, with up to 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units, 16 Zen 5 C

What this enables is some truly monstrous improvements over Intel’s Core Ultra 9 288V. For example, for creative workloads, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 has an average 2.6x faster rendering time in the likes of Blender and Cinebench. As for games, you’re seeing an average 1.4x faster GPU performance in 3DMark tests.

AMD announced its Ryzen AI Max processors at CES, ushering in a new series of AMD -based AI PCs and laptops. The chipmaker also unveiled low- and midrange CPUs with AI capabilities, ensuring that buyers with different budgets have a chance to snag an AI PC. All of these chips are set to become available over the course of 2025.

To say that CES was a PC show this year is an understatement. We spent time with dozens of laptops in Las Vegas, and these are our favorites across nine key categories.

From a laptop with a screen that grows to a 1-kilogram ultraportable to the world's most powerful 14-inch workstation, these are the laptops that grabbed our attention at CES.
