For highly GPU-intensive work we'd recommend an AI PC with a dedicated graphics card like the Maingear ML-16 or for more general GPU workloads, we'd recommend the Asus Zenbook S14 (UX5406) or the Apple MacBook Air 13 M3 which have surprisingly powerful iGPUs.","\u2716\ufe0fYou want a vivid display for viewing your favorite content<\/strong>: The ThinkPad T14s has a dull FHD+ display panel measuring 70.7% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, nearly 20% lower than the premium laptop average."]},"position":24},{"type":"text","id":"bbdf675f-0651-41f2-bda5-094f1606719c","data":{"paragraphs":["One of the most highly anticipated features of the Copilot+ AI PC platform<\/a> was the extended battery life offered by AI optimization combined with Qualcomm's ARM-based Snapdragon X Elite chip, and the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 has more than delivered on that promise.","Stevie Bonifield said in our review, \"Battery life is one area where the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 really shines. It lasted 21 hours and 3 minutes in our battery test, longer than any of its rivals \u2014 longer than any laptop we\u2019ve ever tested.\"","The ThinkPad T14s lasted an astounding 21 hours and 3 minutes on our battery test, outperforming even the MacBook Pro 16 (M4 Pro, 2024)<\/a>, which lasted 20:46.

The T14s also has better battery life than both, making it the best choice for power and longevity.","So what are the downsides? The ThinkPad T14s suffers from a tired design, sub-par graphics rendering, and an inaccurately calibrated display, which hold it back from taking the top spot in this category. But if you don't plan to use your AI PC for a lot of photo or video work, the ThinkPad T14s more than makes up for its shortcomings in terms of battery life and performance.

So even if security is not your top priority, you're still getting a solid laptop that lasted 16 hours and 1 minute on our battery test. On our other lab benchmark tests, the EliteBook managed to stay competitive with the likes of the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (Q425M)<\/a> and Apple MacBook Pro 14 M3<\/a> with a Geekbench 6 multicore score of 12,717 compared to the Zenbook's 12,707 and MacBook Pro's 11,986.","While you could use one of the other Copilot+ or AI PC laptops, like the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x<\/a> or MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo,<\/a> as a business machine, the upgraded Wolf Pro Security makes a solid case for the EliteBook as the top choice. Lenovo and MSI skip that built-in comprehensive end-point security solution.","With a starting price of just $1,699, most other business laptops can't compete.","See our full <\/em>HP EliteBook Ultra<\/em><\/a> review.<\/em>","^Back to the top<\/strong><\/a>"]},"position":39},{"type":"section","id":"c9046581-2c30-4f38-99d6-735cc5c9f1e6","data":{"text":"Best for AMD fans","nav":"Best AMD","headingType":"h2","excludeFromNav":false},"position":40},{"type":"gallery","id":"61ec0f4f-7e32-40f2-a303-149420a607e9","data":{"layout":"","slides":[{"id":"3060ca37-4c65-4de9-9a2b-44ccbbb7fd9a","title":"","description":[],"image":{"alt":"Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 (Ryzen AI 9) review","credit":"Future\/Rami Tabari","imageId":"DggeEviYsTc3AaNuQirop4","name":"Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 (Ryzen AI 9) review HERO.jpg","src":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DggeEviYsTc3AaNuQirop4.jpg","caption":"","height":1974,"width":4606,"id":"DggeEviYsTc3AaNuQirop4"}},{"id":"9a69f7c6-1781-4dbd-ba78-3cb653e29144","title":"","description":[],"image":{"alt":"Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 (Ryzen AI 9) review","credit":"Future\/Rami Tabari","imageId":"ykCxdJbLay3u4YEUHjWTV3","name":"P1023021.JPG","src":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ykCxdJbLay3u4YEUHjWTV3.jpg","caption":"","height":2916,"width":5184,"id":"ykCxdJbLay3u4YEUHjWTV3"}},{"id":"d8a5e405-6894-4d23-bba2-184584864338","title":"","description":[],"image":{"alt":"Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 (Ryzen AI 9) review","credit":"Future\/Rami Tabari","imageId":"2MVRsXaB9G9jXWkujGivN","name":"P1023027.JPG","src":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2MVRsXaB9G9jXWkujGivN.jpg","caption":"","height":2793,"width":4965,"id":"2MVRsXaB9G9jXWkujGivN"}},{"id":"d7c259a0-db96-40eb-a806-c104612acb9e","title":"","description":[],"image":{"alt":"Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 (Ryzen AI 9) review","credit":"Future\/Rami Tabari","imageId":"uKr8o92yT4ERNE9KPkvU","name":"P1023023.JPG","src":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/uKr8o92yT4ERNE9KPkvU.jpg","caption":"","height":2916,"width":5184,"id":"uKr8o92yT4ERNE9KPkvU"}},{"id":"8894aefc-1c8b-44bc-aa2f-fe6d46ce4c17","title":"","description":[],"image":{"alt":"Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 (Ryzen AI 9) review","credit":"Future\/Rami Tabari","imageId":"SxKXjLMiDeZNvi2DPycwBo","name":"P1023024.JPG","src":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SxKXjLMiDeZNvi2DPycwBo.jpg","caption":"","height":2916,"width":5184,"id":"SxKXjLMiDeZNvi2DPycwBo"}}]},"position":41},{"type":"buying-guide","id":"a089da9d-d4fa-4a3a-818e-43e8a257e7dc","data":{"cons":["Mediocre keyboard and touchpad","Slow SSD"],"hawk":"{\"data-model-name\":\"Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606\",\"data-widget-type\":\"merchantlink\"}","linkText":"","noFollow":true,"pros":["Unique design","Decent OLED display","Powerful performance","Solid graphics","Long battery life"],"review":{"id":"ehHQ7aqMSiwDJKN5dLhYQZ","name":"Asus Zenbook S16 UM5606 (Ryzen AI 9) review: I think AMD just killed the MacBook Air ","url":"\/laptops\/asus-zenbook-s16-um5606-ryzen-ai-9","rating":80},"specs":[{"label":"CPU","value":"AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370"},{"label":"GPU","value":"AMD Radeon 890M"},{"label":"NPU","value":"AMD XDNA 2"},{"label":"RAM","value":"32GB"},{"label":"Storage","value":"1TB"},{"label":"Display","value":"16-inch, 120Hz, 2880 x 1800, OLED touch"},{"label":"Size","value":"13.92 x 9.57 x 0.47~0.51 inches"},{"label":"Weight","value":"3.3 pounds"}],"sponsored":false,"subtitle":"If you want the AMD Advantage in an AI PC, you should go for this Zenbook.","title":"5.
