Dozens of also come packing powerful laptops were revealed this year-but these 10 stood out from the crowd.

ACER SWIFT X 14

Arguably the least glamorous laptop on this list, Acer's Swift X 14 still showcases key trends of CES 2023: the broad reach of OLED displays and newer, quicker hardware from Intel and Nvidia.

Let's talk displays. The Swift X packs an optional 14-inch OLED screen with 2,880 x 1,800 resolution and a refresh rate of up 120Hz, as well as VESA DisplayHDR 500 certification. It's a truly gorgeous screen. And though not a massive laptop, the Swift X 14 finds room for Nvidia RTX 4050 discrete graphics and Intel's new 13th-gen Core H-Series processors. A high-resolution 1440p webcam is thrown in for good measure.

Pricing is what seals the deal. The Swift X 14 will hit stores in April starting at $1,099.99. That's great value and positions the Swift X 14 as a budget alternative to more expensive 14-inch workstation and gaming laptops.
