    I like ASUS ProArt

  2. @FCisThePunisher

    January 10, 2026 at 9:29 am

    Damn some really good products there!!!

  3. @iissam280

    January 10, 2026 at 9:32 am

    Those are not viable solutions, they are here just for the show…….what’s about the integration of AI chips and the software managementof the flow …..

    January 10, 2026 at 9:49 am

    Why not DELL??

    • @policeman5768

      January 10, 2026 at 10:55 am

      Because dell did not introduce anything about ai.

    • @akilakbaraly9095

      January 10, 2026 at 2:09 pm

      ​@policeman5768or because asus made better this time?

  5. @chemjam92

    January 10, 2026 at 9:59 am

    So Lenovo stole Framework idea?

    • @everybody6711

      January 10, 2026 at 12:08 pm

      I mean to be fair ThinkPad got popular for a reason: you could easily replace the parts. Some just need one or two screws to replace the keyboard.

    • @VincentJenks

      January 10, 2026 at 12:27 pm

      Yeah, it’s great. This is the trend we need to see. We’re throwing perfectly fine, advanced technology in landfills, when we could be swapping out a part, here and there, and make it last for many years. I hope every manufacturer heads in this direction.

    • @Coralalal

      January 10, 2026 at 1:16 pm

      it’s not a stolen idea if it’s for a good cause

    • @Elunduus

      January 10, 2026 at 1:41 pm

      Thinkpad is based, but they cant outdo framework imo

    • @victorutomo7244

      January 10, 2026 at 4:57 pm

      If they did, i don’t really mind.

  6. @kushyadav8269

    January 10, 2026 at 10:55 am

    nothing can beat framework laptop

  7. @chm2

    January 10, 2026 at 11:01 am

    Do consumers actually want “AI” all over the names of their products?

    • @Coralalal

      January 10, 2026 at 1:17 pm

      as a consumer myself i do not want ai water

  8. @varunvalla4606

    January 10, 2026 at 11:30 am

    No love for samsung book 6 series, biased youtube channel

    • @nicholaimifsud

      January 10, 2026 at 2:39 pm

      there were so many laptops that probably they did not manage to see them all and probably also forgot some after seeing others hehe

  9. @ChicagoBob123

    January 10, 2026 at 11:41 am

    Where were these booths?

  10. @007us

    January 10, 2026 at 11:56 am

    why not 4K?

    • @josephsmith594

      January 11, 2026 at 4:01 pm

      As Microsoft Copilot AI (it’s amazing)

  11. @NOELQUEZON

    January 10, 2026 at 11:57 am

    I already have HP Elite X2 than Asus Proart.

  12. @bort7258

    January 10, 2026 at 12:20 pm

    I’m not a Dell guy but surprised the new revived XPS is not on here. As a MacBook Pro user, Dell just out-Mac’d the MacBook. By far, the prettiest laptops at CES this year.

  13. @urbanstrencan

    January 10, 2026 at 2:01 pm

    For me Lenovo is the best in the laptop world

  14. @JoshuaJonesPhoto

    January 10, 2026 at 2:07 pm

    Lenovo came in hot this year

  15. @drewlomite

    January 10, 2026 at 3:06 pm

    Samsung Book 6 Ultra is my pick

    Deeply ironic that the go to quality comparison for any new Windows laptop is the MacBook. I’m continually reminded of the ‘90s VW Golf TV campaign ‘Just Like a Golf’. Look it up here on YT and you’ll see what I mean. 😆

    Kermit?

  20. @rolan2dr

    January 10, 2026 at 7:30 pm

    Where’s Dell?

  21. @vegaswithfreddy

    January 10, 2026 at 8:08 pm

    dammit asus … I was hoping for an updated duo with the small screen right above the keyboard like before.

  22. @Davidk-r6u

    January 10, 2026 at 11:50 pm

    Asus is nice but their go to market is too late, Q2. Telling people we got this great thing, but you can’t get it till mid year in your hands is a big fail. Will lose a lot of business, competition is too steep this year to be that far behind your competitors. Then you’ll be competing with the surface launch. Samsung and Dell have excellent top end options and are delivering in February.

  23. @Avegdar

    January 11, 2026 at 12:50 am

    If MSI has fixed their exploding hinges they might have something there.

  24. @vanvinos

    January 11, 2026 at 2:05 am

    the music background is louder than the hosts’s voice

  25. @jessegriffin9

    4:00 the lid doesn’t fully close.

  26. @usernamehyt

    January 11, 2026 at 4:18 am

    eh , no lg gram pro 17? the lightest 17inch laptop

  27. @TheTechnicalRecruiter

    January 11, 2026 at 11:34 am

    Dude? Get a Dell.

  28. @johnjanney

    January 11, 2026 at 11:34 am

    🔋Battery life?

  29. @neponel

    January 11, 2026 at 11:55 am

    in 2026 people want and need local AI. so 128gb of ram is the new default. if you dont run your own local llm then you are the product.

  32. @DiGiTaLGraveDigga

    Lenovo and Asus always a go to!

  33. @davidbork6725
