TOP 10 CES 2016 LAPTOPS (Part 1)

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga

The Yoga line of hybrids from Lenovo has been through many updates and variations over the past few years, from the ultra-thin Yoga Pro 3 to the hidden keyboard on the ThinkPad Yoga series. The latest, and most enviable, is a brilliant OLED display coming to a newly announced variant, the ThinkPad Yoga X1.

As part of Lenovo's growing X1 line of premium professional systems, this Yoga is slim, has high-end components and premium features not usually found in consumer-level systems. 14-inch 2,560x1,440 OLED display. OLED, or organic light-emitting diode. Its 360-degree hinge folds all the way back. It starts as a standard clamshell laptop, and you can fold the hinge back past 180 degrees to form a kiosk or table tent shape, which allows the display to be front and center without the keyboard getting in the way. Or, it can fold back a full 360 degrees into a tablet shape. In the standard Yoga line, this leaves the keyboard keys sticking out from the back of the tablet, albeit temporarily deactivated.

Processors go up to Intel's current-gen Core i7, with up to 1TB of solid state storage and optional LTE for mobile broadband.

 Dell's Alienware 18  

Rediscover the Alienware 18, with dual graphics to give you the ultimate gaming experience. It packs an Intel^® Core™ i7-4940MX processor (Quad-core, 8MB Cache, Overclocked up to 4.4GHz w/ Intel TurboBoost), Windows^® 8.1 (64Bit), Dual NVIDIA^® GeForce^® GTX 970M graphics with 6GB GDDR5 each and up to 32GB Dual Channel DDR3L memory. 

1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s, 512GB mSATA SSD Boot + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s and slot-Loading 8x SuperMulti Drive (DVD±R/RW), Killer Networks Gigabit Ethernet NIC, 5G WiFi Broadcom 4352 802.11n/ac and Bluetooth 4.0.

 All said about this awesome combination of parts and overclocking capabilities the bottom line is there's a premium to be paid because of its predictably poor battery life and the thick body which raises the keyboard uncomfortably high, and getting primo parts costs a lot, but the massive Alienware 18 is a show-off-worthy desktop replacement that takes down even the newest PC games, and is just plain fun to use.  

Razor Blade Stealth and its Razor Core

This slim Windows 10 laptop with a 12.5-inch screen. It's an amalgam of many different ideas about what a high-end ultrabook-style laptop should be.

The Razer Blade Stealth’s highly durable chassis is CNC-milled out of aircraft grade aluminum. The ultra-sleek finish and thin form factor adapts perfectly to any situation. Together with up to 8 hours of battery life, you’ll be able to play casual games on the train and power through your daily work though it is not actually a gaming laptop. With the Razer Core, an external box used for extreme performance, the Blade Stealth fuses seamlessly with the optional Razer Core via Thunderbolt™ 3, delivering external desktop graphics and expanded connectivity.

The 6th Gen Intel Core i7-6500U processor gives the Razer Blade Stealth 2.5GHz of processing power and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.1GHz. Push even more pixels with the Intel® HD Graphics 520 for smooth visuals.

The Razer Blade Stealth also packs up to 512GB of PCIe solid-state storage and 8GB of fast dual-channel memory, allowing you to boot quicker and launch applications faster than ever before. Optimized from the start, Razer does not load unnecessary bloatware commonly found on other computers.

MSI GT72 Tobii

The MSI GT72 Tobii, thanks to its integrated eye-tracking technology. All you need is a brief configuration to sync up your eye movements to the computer's Tobii EyeX tracking system and you're all set to game with your eyes. The eye-tracking magic is done via three infrared sensors located just below the screen. This is the first gaming laptop of its ilk, the Tobii tracks your eye movements and uses them to direct the camera when you're playing games like Assassin's Creed Syndicate and the upcoming Tom Clancy's The Division. It's a revolutionary union that has the potential to change the way you game. In a demo featuring the action game Assassin's Creed, simply flicking your eyes spins the camera around -- that's usually handled by the mouse, so to move forward all you need to do is hit the keyboard. You still need to use the mouse to click on stuff though, and that's somewhat confusing.
