Forget the RAM crisis: the best laptops of CES 2026 have made me excited for the future

We're on the ground at CES 2026, the world's biggest consumer tech show, where some of the top brands in laptops have been showing off their upcoming products.

The likes of Lenovo, Dell, Asus, and Acer have all showcased some great-looking products that I'm pretty sure will end up on our best laptops list when they're released (and have been thoroughly tested by us), and it looks like the main trend for laptops in 2026 will be sleek thin and light designs, and even longer battery lives.

Unsurprisingly, there is also a continued focus on AI, and I'm hoping that this year there's a killer reason why we'd want an AI laptop.
