Lenovo has jumped into the handheld gaming scene with the Legion Go, the newest competitor to the Asus ROG Ally and Valve's Steam Deck. Since the Legion Go only comes with two USB4 ports, docks are a great way to go if you need to expand the connectivity options of your new handheld console. Docks can also be quite convenient for charging your Legion Go. It's important to note that manufacturers have yet to make docks specifically for the Lenovo Legion Go; however, we can tell from dimensions that, thankfully, many of the docks for the Steam Deck should fit Lenovo's handheld all the same.

Getting a new laptop in 2023 might be a challenging task to handle for most, as the market offers tons of excellent options with an aggressive price tag that makes it more difficult for people to choose. For instance, Lenovo launched an excellent new collection of laptops in 2023, where Lenovo's Slim Pro 9i and ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 stand out as some of the most powerful options you can get.

The upcoming Lenovo Legion Go is a pretty exciting device. This Windows-powered handheld gaming device will let you run most PC games on a huge and bright 8.8-inch QHD+ screen. It also sits between its detachable controllers and is powered by an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor. It also has a bigger battery compared to the Steam Deck and its alternatives, but that, unfortunately, still won't be enough to keep up with long gaming sessions, especially if you're running more demanding titles. And that's exactly why a portable power bank is almost a must.

If you're looking for the best laptop with a number pad, there are plenty of options in 15-inch and up laptops, but we have you covered.

As laptops get thinner and lighter, features tend to get sacrificed along the way. The best premium laptops we see these days are often tiny and only have Thunderbolt 4 ports in order to save space inside the chassis, for example. Another thing that's fallen by the wayside over the years is the inclusion of number pads, which many of those best laptops don't have. Those dedicated keys can be hugely important if you work with numbers. All the keys are easily accessible in one position, so number-crunching becomes a lot more efficient and convenient. If you want this convenience, though, you have to look at larger laptops, starting at around 15 inches, and even then, not a lot of models have them. But there are some options if this is a must-have for you.

Lenovo's premiere gaming laptop, the Lenovo Legion 9i is back in 2023, and Lenovo seems to have outdone themselves this time. The Legion 9i comes in a lightweight 5.64 pound chassis, while providing up to an Intel Core i9-13980HX processor and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. There's a 16-inch Mini-LED display, and in order to cool such a powerful system, Lenovo has included a self-contained water cooling system inside this 16-inch laptop.

One area where the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2023 excels is in its battery life. I've tested and reviewed this great Lenovo laptop and put it through my daily grind of writing and browsing YouTube. With a surprisingly efficient 13th-generation Intel Core i7-1355U under the hood, it gets a battery life of up to eight hours and 30 minutes. When the juice runs dry, though, you'll need a charger. Lenovo includes the standard 65W charger in the box, but if you're on the go and need a spare charger, or just prefer one that can power up multiple devices, there are plenty to choose from. We collected eight of our favorites below.

Similar to a lot of the best laptops, you get two Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, along with a headphone jack. What's missing, though, is an SD card reader and HDMI.
