Masthead of the 500-series of IdeaPads, the IdeaPad 530S scores very high on performance, display quality, build, and battery life. It also comes with an Nvidia MX150 GPU for occasional light gaming.

Remember the Spectre 13 from last year. This year we got to see the convertible variant of that laptop. The Spectre x360 in its latest avatar is the best convertible laptop available today.

Weighing just 1.1 kilograms, the Lenovo Ideapad 720s is the new king of thin and light laptops.

Besides the Dell XPS 15, the Asus Vivobook S15 is one of the most exciting launches of the year in the mainstream category.
