From a laptop with a screen that grows to a 1-kilogram ultraportable to the world's most powerful 14-inch workstation, these are the laptops that grabbed our attention at CES.

To say that CES was a PC show this year is an understatement. We spent time with dozens of laptops in Las Vegas, and these are our favorites across nine key categories.

CES is filled with wild and wacky curios, to be sure, but there are also plenty of good old-fashioned laptops. Every year the big chipmakers announce new products and the big computer manufacturers unveil new laptops that take advantage of updated CPUs and GPUs.
