We saw some exciting new laptops at Computex 2019. Our best overall laptop, the Dell XPS 13, even made an appearance as well, but this time it's a 2-in-1 packing a 10th Gen Intel U-Series CPU. Yeah, you read right. 10th Gen is here before you can even catch up to 9th. However, you will still be able to find Intel's 9th Gen processors in several laptops. The most compelling was the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo, which is a dual-screen premium laptop that's armed with a Core i9 CPU and an Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU. However, the most innovative laptop we saw was the Project Limitless 5G Laptop, which as you might've guessed, is the first laptop to adopt 5G. Stay tuned for news from WWDC 2019.
