It’s another year, another Consumer Electronics Show, and for CES 2025 we’ve been treated to the by now expected raft of new laptops. This event is never short of notebooks, and equally never disappoints in terms of providing some new powerful and/or innovative products.
As is customary, we’re going to look at both traditional laptops and gaming notebooks here, splitting our top 10 in half between those models – with a number one taking home the winner’s trophy in each category.
The top laptop crop for 2025 includes a rollable device – which certainly scores highly in the innovation stakes – and an incredibly light Copilot+ PC, as well as a new Razer Blade that makes some bold changes to deliver what’ll hopefully be a standout gaming notebook for this year. Enough with the waffle, let’s press on with the best laptops of CES 2025 as we see it…
Laptops
1. Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable
A controversial number one? Well, maybe, but our top pick for the best laptop at CES 2025 is the rollable Lenovo ThinkBook. This is the first notebook in the world to have a rollable display, meaning that at the press of a button, the normal-sized screen can unfurl – rolling upwards – to make the display taller.
Okay, so it’s not a huge difference – the 14-inch screen transforms into a 16.7-inch effort – but that’s large enough to be able to use two apps, one above another, simultaneously, or have a tall screen to better view the likes of long documents, web pages, or coding work.
Spec-wise, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable comes with up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 Lunar Lake (200V) processor, up to 32GB of system memory, and up to 1TB of SSD storage.
Obvious problems? You might call vaporware on this, but Lenovo has actually given us a firm release date – of June 2025 – and even a price. That price is $3,499 in the US, which is another issue, really. Ouch.
