This is a laptop that has been fronted as a business PC but with the internals of a rally car. From including a screenpad to being labelled as the lightest and thinnest consumer PC in the market, this Asus Pro B9 is one to look out for.

The specs are as follows:

• 14-inch UHD display

In the lineup are other similarly spec’d Yoga laptops with small differences in the processor. There’s the Lenovo Yoga C940 with 15.6-inch UHD display, there’s also an S740 which is not a 2-in-1 but also features a 15.6-inch display.

On the more mainstream consumer use PCs we have the C740 which comes in 14-inch and 15.6-inch with 10th Gen Intel processors and at the bottom of the pyramid, we have the C640, which comes with a 13.3-inch display and powered by Intel’s 10th Gen processors.
