Intel’s Core Ultra 200 laptop CPUs deliver shocking performance gains

Intel’s Core 285H chip, the first member of its Core Ultra 200 or “Arrow Lake-H” family for laptops, has a big crater to fill. Yes, crater: This processor essentially bombed on the desktop. In laptops, however, Intel’s Core 285H chip helps redeem Intel’s reputation, starring in the otherwise pedestrian MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG) laptop.

Consider this to be two reviews for the price of one: I’ll take a look at the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo itself. A sample of a laptop that has yet to begin officially shipping. But most of the performance tests I’ll run are for the purpose of comparing Intel’s Core Ultra 285H and the Arrow Lake-H architecture to the best that AMD and Qualcomm have to offer. Plus Intel’s older mobile chips.

The short answer: Intel blows away its previous “Lunar Lake” chips, the Core Ultra 200V. The new Core Ultra 200H chips essentially double the performance in general applications thanks to a ton of additional cores. But, hampered by its lack of a modern NPU, Intel is forced to mumble and kick the ground when it comes to talking about AI.

At press time, I couldn’t find any retailers that advertised the Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG) for sale. And MSI’s own listing for the laptop just references a number of overseas suppliers. MSI charges about $1,620 for the Prestige 16 AI EVO B1MG, which was the debut laptop for our tests of the Core Ultra 100-series chips, or Meteor Lake. In Feb. 2024.

MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG): Design, build quality, display and ports.

Intel sent us an engineering sample of the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG) for review, as a test bed for the Core Ultra 9 285H (Arrow Lake-H) chip inside.

You’re not going to find too many differences between the Prestige 16 AI Evo B2HMG and earlier models like the 2024 MSI Prestige 16 B1MG. Which housed the Core Ultra 7 155H, Intel’s first entrant into its mobile Core Ultra family. As reviewer Matt Smith noted of the B1MG, this B2HMG is a thoroughly mainstream, rather nondescript, plasticky laptop most notable for what’s inside. It’s not a huge surprise that the model is used as a showcase for Intel’s new chips.

Structurally, the magnesium-aluminum laptop doesn’t quite have the robustness you’d expect from a purely aluminum chassis. Though I really didn’t notice any keyboard flex. I didn’t notice any display flex either, although opening and closing the device feels a bit flimsy.

I wouldn’t mind if MSI shaved a few tenths of a pound off of the weight, but. Pounds isn’t egregious for a mainstream laptop. I’ve stopped worrying about laptop thicknesses, mostly, but the chassis is thick enough to accommodate an Ethernet port. Which is always a nice touch.

About the only thing that feels off to me are the rear-mounted ports. I know there’s an argument to be made that snaking the power cable (which takes up one of the two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports on the rear of the machine) from behind can save space. The same holds for placing the HDMI port on the rear. But it feels weird in my own setup, in which the laptop sits on my desk’s keyboard drawer. With its screen nestled just under a desktop display. I always worry about crimping the cords or bending the USB-C port itself.

Aside from the SD slot, Ethernet, and. Headphone jack on the right side of the chassis, the Prestige 16 AI Evo B2HMG uses the left side for venting hot air that’s pulled in from a grille underneath the laptop itself. I rarely heard the fans spin up to peak levels. Most of the time, if the laptop needed to cool itself, the fans ran at just a light hiss.

The fan response time seems quick as well; over the years I’ve simply expected the fans to ramp up and. Stay that way through benchmark tests. That wasn’t the case here, with the fans turning off and on as needed.

Maybe I’m jaded, but I’ve come to expect high-refresh rate displays. This laptop doesn’t have one — just the default 60Hz — which feels like a step down if you’ve used a faster one. Thankfully, MSI added an OLED display to the Prestige 16 AI Evo, which always adds a certain je ne sais quoi when watching movies. Where OLED’s fantastic contrast helps the colors pop. I’m assuming you’ve used an OLED display before; if you haven’t, you’re in for a real treat.

There’s a tradeoff, however, and that’s the display resolution: 2560 x 1600.

As the numbers suggest. The display offers more pixels than a 1440p display, but falls short of a true 3840×2160 (4K) display. I couldn’t help but wonder why the earlier B1MG offered a gorgeous 3840×2400 display, and this didn’t. Pushing pixels does affect performance, however. (At the time of my review of Intel’s Core 100 chip, Intel and MSI sent me an engineering sample of the B1MG with the same 1600p display as in the B2HMG, and. Not the 2400p display that was part of our B1MG review.).

As always, some of the most useful functionality hides within the system utility software. MSI calls its app MSI Center, and it allows quick toggles between performance modes as well as access to functions like the ability to cap charging at 80 percent to preserve battery life, what happens when the lid is closed. And so on. MSI doesn’t offer nearly as many capabilities as, say, Asus, but it’s still worth a tour to discover noise cancellation technologies and where to find firmware updates that aren’t covered by Windows modification itself.

Our engineering sample didn’t come with any bloatware besides Norton 365, which I had to remove because it interfered with my benchmark software.

There are a couple of other aspects worth noting: support for the very latest Wi-Fi 7. Which may be faster than your own broadband connection, as well as a neat feature that uses the webcam to put the laptop into sleep mode when you walk away. The latter feature isn’t new, but not every vendor offers it.

MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG): Keyboard and trackpad.

The MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG) offers a full keyboard plus a trackpad. Which is always to be applauded for lefty gamers. A biometric login also hides behind the power button. Windows and Windows Hello prefer that you log in with a depth camera (and yes. There is one) so you might be unaware that it exists. I like logging in with my face, but shaving or just a bad hair day can sometimes mess it up. Set up both and chances are that you’ll never have to use a PIN as a backup again.

Everything about the MSI laptop experience is sort of meh, so it’s mildly delightful to discover that the Prestige’s keyboard is comfortable and. A pleasure to type upon. The keys are springy, even if they feel a mite small. The number pad is a bit narrower than a full-sized external keyboard, but that’s just a minor nitpick. A row of function keys at the top of the keyboard doesn’t hide any surprises, and includes keys to cut off the mic and camera. (There is also a physical webcam shutter.).

There are three levels of backlighting. Which can be configured to automatically turn off in 10 seconds via MSI Center. The default mode is “auto off,” which doesn’t really provide any additional explanation. It seems to rely on whether it detects you.

I honestly didn’t notice this feature before performing some battery longevity tests that put the laptop near me on occasion. The battery life of this laptop is still amazing, but my results varied by about 90 minutes. This could be why.

MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG): Webcam, speakers, and biometrics.

Building on these developments, the combination of the fingerprint reader behind the power button and. The additional Windows Hello webcam feels like a nice one-two punch of biometric redundancy. Fingerprint sensors can accumulate grime, and biometric cameras don’t always tolerate changes in your appearance. But MSI’s approach worked well during my limited review period.

The webcam is pretty lousy. I’d wager that MSI built in a 1080p, 30fps webcam, then tacked Microsoft’s Windows Studio Effects on top of it. One of the functions is the ability to do “pan and zoom,” so that the webcam follows your face as it moves around. In reality, the webcam is simply cropping in to find your face, which discards some of the 1080p pixels. In essence, you’re taking a 1080p webcam and cropping down to something akin to a 720p webcam instead.

My face ended up washed out and fuzzy (no beard jokes, please) when down in my office. And not much advanced upstairs in more natural light. I review the best webcams for laptops specifically for laptops like this.

You can slide the webcam shutter closed with a physical mechanism near the camera module itself.

One of the most underrated AI functions on laptops is their ability to filter out and enhance audio, via a combination of multiple microphones, the laptop’s spatial awareness of them and. What they can capture, and various AI enhancements. Again, this feature hides inside the MSI Center app, and specifically the AI Zone tab.

Turning on the “Studio EQ” makes an enormous difference in how your voice sounds, giving it warmth and. Some timbre, like a professional mic. Enabling the related “Conference Enhancer” audio mode and the “Front” (precise) mode captured my voice well, and. Absolutely erased the tapping and rattling of a spoon in a bowl just a foot or so to my right. Absolutely spectacular stuff.

It’s rather disappointing, then, that the speakers are soft and mushy. Yes, there’s AI filtering here as well, but MSI needs to beef up the basics.

What you need to know about the Core 200H (Arrow Lake-H).

Normally. Our laptop reviews focus on a few key benchmarks. But since this is the first chance PCWorld has had to test these new Arrow Lake-H mobile processors, I’m going to devote more space than I normally would to a number of tests.

First. A brief recap. Intel showcased both the Arrow Lake-H and Arrow Lake-HX processor families at CES in January. The Core Ultra 9 285H is the fastest chip in Intel’s mobile H-series chip at the moment, topping out at .

The Arrow Lake-H family combines “next-gen” Lion Cove performance cores and Skymont efficiency cores, found in Lunar Lake. But with an addition: the ultra-low-power E-cores found in the Meteor Lake architecture. Within the Core Ultra 9 285H, they line up in a 6-8-2 configuration, with 6 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores. And a pair of the low-power E-cores. The chip also includes the second-gen Arc GPU core found within the Arrow Lake desktop processor, whose NPU only provides 13 TOPS of AI power. The MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo may have AI in its name, but it is not a Copilot+-class PC.

Intel has positioned the Arrow Lake-H family as “tweener” chip, powering a middle category between Lunar Lake’s long battery life and. The gaming power of the Core HX family, which is due by the end of March. It’s a little weird that Intel’s Core Ultra 7 258V (Lunar Lake) and Core Ultra 9 285H (Arrow Lake) are two completely different chip architectures with similar model numbers, but that’s a problem for Intel’s marketing department to solve.

In this review, we’re using for comparison Intel’s Core 100 (Meteor Lake) and. Core 200V (Lunar Lake) chips, represented by the $1,649 MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo and the $1,499 Asus Zenbook S 14, respectively. I’m also including another $1,699 Asus Zenbook S 16 with a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip inside. As well as a second version with an AI 9 365 chip. I’ve let the $1,999 Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 represent the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, with the $1,199 Microsoft Surface Pro 11th Edition dropping in where it can.

Let’s be honest: Arrow Lake was essentially a disaster on the desktop. Intel promised “parity” performance on the desktop at half the power, but failed to deliver. The Arrow Lake-S desktop chips needed a battery of patches and firmware updates to restore the expected performance. Up to an additional 25 percent in some cases. (Those are all accounted for on the mobile platform, Intel says.) Will the increased emphasis on lower power play improved in the laptop space? We’ll see.

For this review, I’ve focused testing on the three key segments of the Core Ultra 9 285H: the CPU, GPU, and NPU, comparing Intel’s latest to the representative samples of Intel’s prior Core Ultra 100 (Meteor Lake) and Core Ultra 200 (Lunar Lake) chips, as well as AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 and. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processors.

I’ve run the tests both on wall power and on battery, as in some cases the performance can drop fairly significantly. Though I leave the laptops on their default power settings, I also ran our test laptop at the “Best Performance” setting just to see if it made any difference. Those are noted by the “MAX” label in the the tests below. MSI’s laptop also has an optional “AI Engine” that’s tucked away in its MSI Center utility, bundled with the laptop. I received it with that option turned off; I left it off. I’d expect that turning it on would put the performance somewhere between the default settings and the maximum performance option, both of which I’ve tested.

The results. Unfortunately, are a bit patchy. Because of my colleague Gordon Mah Ung’s untimely death, a small number of tests weren’t completed on the Asus Zenbook S 16 and. Its Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip that he had in his possession. Rather than intrude on the family, we asked AMD for a replacement.

AMD representatives accidentally sent over a laptop with a slightly slower AI 9 365 chip inside instead. Though the names are similar, the AI HX 370 has 12 cores (4 Zen 5, 8 Zen 5c) and runs at up to ; the AI 9 365 includes 10 cores (4 Zen 5, and. 6 Zen 5c) and runs at 5GHz. We’ve tested both, and our results appear below.

Some of the early AI tests don’t really accommodate the range of the new Ryzen’s capabilities, so you’ll notice some gaps there. However. Finally, it appears that a recent modification to Adobe Photoshop may have broken the Pugetbench benchmark. A test I wanted to use to show off how well the chip runs Photoshop. The benchmark wouldn’t run.

The traditional metrics of CPU testing are Cinebench and Geekbench, which push the CPU to its limits in a prolonged burst. With gobs of cores, the Core Ultra 9 285H inside the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG) helps it kick butt in the all-cores, all-threads tests — more than doubling the performance from Lunar Lake!

Cinebench R23 and. Cinebench 2024 are variations on the same test, with the latter version ramping up its intensity to challenge the more advanced chips. These two tests essentially render a 2D scene, using the codebase that underlies the Maxon Cinema 4D visual FX application. Geekbench performs a number of similar stress tests upon the CPU, but does a lot more behind the scenes.

Though the multicore scores show a clear win for Intel’s Arrow Lake-H and the Core Ultra 9 285H. The single-core scores are much closer. Here, I have to note that the power settings make a difference. Again, I leave the power settings at the default levels, and the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores 849 in my multicore Cinebench 2024 tests. Gordon’s earlier tests of the chip dialed up the power settings across the board, where the Ryzen scored a 982.

AMD, Qualcomm, and. Intel are much closer in single-core performance… but again, it’s a clear win for Intel in this round.

You’ll notice in a few cases that the “maximum” power setting actually underperforms the standard setting. We also occasionally see cases where the performance on battery even outperforms the chip on wall power. We’ve seen these sorts of anomalies for a few generations now; they’re rare, but they do happen.

Geekbench tests the CPU as well as the GPU, so there’s a bit of foreshadowing in the purple bars of the GPU testing here.

Procyon’s office benchmark might not be too intensive, but. It’s also a real-world signal of how this laptop and the Core Ultra 200H chip will perform. What interests me about this test is that it uses all real-world application, but performance still drops off sharply on battery — more than other tests I ran.

Handbrake is a transcoding application. With a real-world, practical punch. In my previous testing of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, I downloaded a recent version to give the chip a fair chance to compete, and. I’ve done the same with the Core Ultra 200H. (Previously we’ve used an older, unoptimized version for consistency.).

Handbrake offers tons of configuration settings. For this test, I used a quick, standardized preset and re-ran our previous results on the new settings. Here, a lower score is advanced, as it indicates the task completed faster. Again, the Core Ultra 200H wins, but not by that much over the Ryzen. (I’m pretty confident that the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 would have taken this test, but I didn’t have the laptop to prove it.).

Again, I would have liked to have tested Pugetbench’s standardized Photoshop test, but it wouldn’t run.

Intel Core 200H: GPU and gaming benchmarks.

Intel has never positioned the Core Ultra 200H platform as a gaming PC. But Intel and its competitors are offering powerful enough integrated graphics that potentially offer the capability to play some older games at low settings. AMD, especially, offers a strong competitor with its integrated 980M GPUs. Does the Arrow Lake-H have enough to keep up?

We test graphics using simulated benchmarks: UL’s 3DMark suite. The Time Spy test maintains consistency with our established database of historical benchmarks, while the more advanced Steel Nomad Light test is designed for more modern PCs.

This is a competitive benchmark. With all three chip vendors performing well here. I’m also impressed that the performance doesn’t drop much when the laptops are disconnected from wall power and run on battery.

Still. Games are the real test. The popular game Cyberpunk: 2077 scales well across the board, and it’s a good test of everything from frame generation to ray tracing. In this case, Intel has mentioned that XeSS , which injects AI frames to smooth frame rates, was “backported” to the Core 200H’s GPU. But while more than 150 games reportedly support XeSS , only Marvel Rivals and F1 2024 currently support XeSS That limits the chip’s appeal somewhat. (Though F1 has a “benchmark mode,” it simply tracks the frame rate on an on-screen counter, which makes it tough to gauge.).

Although Intel recommends that you try out gaming on the chip at Medium settings. We stuck with Low settings to eke out the best frame rate. After watching the benchmark for Cyberpunk, I’d consider the 40-ish frames per second not too bad. Even though my preferred gaming setup can reach much higher. Most gamers prefer at least 60fps for smooth gaming, and the laptop doesn’t quite hit that, even at maximum power. AMD’s Ryzen is the king here.

The same thing occurred with the other game in our test bench, Shadow of the Tomb Raider. On Low settings it came closer to our target of 60fps, but didn’t achieve it. Just out of curiosity, I tried the Highest graphics setting and achieved just 33 frames per second.

I don’t think that you can call the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG) quite capable of gaming by itself.

AI benchmarking is still in a nascent stage. Chip vendors like Intel are hoping for a day when you’ll run local AI applications like AI art and LLM/AI chatbots directly on your PC. And that day is indeed here. However, the quality of the AI output is still heavily dependent on whether your laptop has a powerful graphics card, or a more efficient NPU; and. Whether the models being used are small enough to fit on a PC. You’ll also need to ensure that the application is coded for your chip’s architecture.

That last point is the snare that’s still hampering both Qualcomm and. AMD. Although more applications are supporting both chip architectures — Microsoft has developed Copilot+ applications almost exclusively with Snapdragon chips in mind — Intel has leaned hard into capturing AI developers.

What this means is that many of the standardized tests either don’t run on AMD or Qualcomm chips. Or else don’t take full advantage. On the other hand, some of the apps tap into both the GPU and the NPU on Intel’s processors. A future that Intel has eagerly anticipated. The bottom line is that it’s not easy to find a test that will put all three chip architectures on a level playing field. If the app supports all three chip architectures in the first place. These tests basically just compare generation-over-generation performance with Intel’s own chips.

In these tests, I turned on support for each processor where I could. Intel, for example, ran using in a dedicated OpenVINO mode, while Qualcomm used SNPE. AMD’s Ryzen AI only had a NPU available, and it reported that the dedicated NPU driver wasn’t loaded. But that didn’t seem to matter, given its score.

Remember, Arrow Lake-H is not a Copilot+ chip, and when you can find an application like UL’s Procyon Vision (which looks at how well a laptop processor can inference, or do work on. Various machine learning models) Intel doesn’t come out on top.

Procyon Image Generation offers image models of different complexities. Here, the laptop is actually creating eight 512×512 images using an 8-bit integer model. (Higher complexity, such as a FP16 model, takes longer but produces more effective images.) Here, each image takes about 20 seconds to produce.

Lunar Lake is dominant here. With its GPU and NPU working together. Since the option to have both work together was there, I turned it on; it felt more realistic. The AMD and Qualcomm chips didn’t run.

You’re probably familiar with Google Gemini or Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT; all are what’s known as LLMs. Or large language models. Chip vendors hope that you’ll eventually use a compressed, less complex Small Language Model, or SLM. On your own machine.

MLCommons developed its own test, using the Llama 2 7B large language model (LLM) from Meta. The test downloads the model and then asks it to perform content generation, creative writing, and two summarization tests. This test doesn’t bother with a score. Instead, it looks at two key, real-world metrics: the time to first token (or how long the AI takes to respond to your query), and. The number of tokens per second.

If you’re unfamiliar with AI, a “token” is the key unit of measurement. A token is a little less than a word: “some” requires a token, as does “2” or “6”. “Something” would require two tokens, as it’s essentially a compound word. When an AI chatbot responds to a query, it spits out text like a dot-matrix printer: You can see the words crawl across the screen on a locally running LLM. How “fast” the result is really depends on how quickly you read.

I used Procyon’s version of a similar test to round out my AI testing. Although this test also provides time-to-first-token and token-per-second benchmarks, I used the overall score instead. This test downloads four models, not one, and compares the performance on all four.

Unfortunately, the test wouldn’t run on Arm or AMD Ryzen processors. The output is a bit messy, but Intel’s Lunar Lake wins again.

Evaluating battery life is a holistic exercise, where the laptop, its chip, display. Cooling, and battery all play some role. Of the laptops I’ve tested above, here’s how the battery life shapes up: excellent across the board. I set the display luminance at the same level for all laptops, than used the UL’s battery rundown test that essentially loops its office benchmark over and over until the battery expires — simulating a marathon all-nighter of work.

Asus 14 OLED (Intel Lunar Lake): 17 hours, 7 minutes.

17 hours, 7 minutes Surface Laptop 7th Edition (Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite): 16 hours, 20 minutes.

16 hours, 20 minutes Asus ZenBook S 16 (AMD Ryzen AI 300): 10 hours, 42 minutes.

10 hours, 42 minutes Asus ZenBook 14 OLED (Intel Meteor Lake): 10 hours. 35 minutes.

To that, the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG) with the Arrow Lake-H chip inside recorded between 15 hours, 10 minutes and 16 hours, 33 minutes of battery life, with an average of about 15 hours, 50 minutes over several runs. That’s outstanding, as is the battery life of virtually all of these laptops.

Conclusion: Should you buy a laptop with a Core Ultra 200H chip?

I’m convinced that, yes. You should. As a general-purpose PC processor, Intel’s Arrow Lake-H chip soars to the top of the heap in most tests, dramatically outperforming Intel’s Lunar Lake chips — which, to be fair, weren’t specifically designed with as much performance in mind.

Instead. The Core Ultra 200V family was designed specifically for long battery life plus AI performance, which is where Intel’s Arrow Lake-H chips still fall short. But basing our battery-life testing on the Procyon Office benchmark, which consistently throws Microsoft Office tasks at the laptop, makes me feel much more confident in saying that you’ll get far more than a typical workday’s workload out of the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG) and its Arrow Lake-H chip inside of it.

(Remember. The MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HMG) itself is an engineering sample that’s not available for sale. I’m relatively ambivalent toward it right now — it’s good, but doesn’t really make my heart ache to use it.).

I still think that all three laptop platforms — AMD, Intel, and. Qualcomm — are at the top of their game right now, pushing hard. If you want absolutely killer battery life and incredible standby performance, consider a Snapdragon laptop. AMD’s Ryzen platform, meanwhile, excels in most tasks, including gaming. Intel’s Lunar Lake Core Ultra 200V chips are still probably the best choice for both battery life and some AI tasks. With the Core Ultra 200H taking over for general productivity. The Core Ultra 200H doesn’t appear to quite have the chops to serve as a gaming processor, and lacks sufficient NPU TOPS to really run NPU-dependent AI apps.

Right now. Intel’s advantage seems to be that everything runs Intel, giving it a sense that it’s the all-around processor you need. Real life bends more towards Qualcomm’s Snapdragon, at least where Windows’ AI apps are concerned.

If I had to pick the best laptop chip at the moment, however. I’d still lean toward AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 processor. It’s not the top of the heap in most tests, but it’s quite close in many, and rises to the top in gaming and AI. I don’t think AMD’s challenge right now is silicon, but software: Its ROCm AI development environment doesn’t have the ubiquity Intel is tying to push with OpenVINO, and. It demonstrates. If you can’t run the app, it doesn’t matter how good the chip is.

I think Intel’s dominance of the laptop market is nearing an end, and. Instead heading toward an age of relative parity between all three processor platforms. Nerds will still be able to buy the “best” laptop, but it will be critical to know what attributes you’re prioritizing, exactly. Intel’s Core Ultra 200H (Arrow Lake-H) looks exceptionally strong in general productivity and battery life, two key attributes consumers care deeply about. That will keep Intel’s foes at bay, for now.

Apple Watch deals: is the price worth it?

Apple's hardware often comes with a high price tag. And the Apple Watch doesn't fall far from the tree. That noted, if you're looking for a smartwatch to work with your iPhone, no other brand comes close to offering the functionality of Apple's own timepiece.

While the Apple Watch price is still higher than many other brands. You're paying for integration with a massive number of apps you're already using on your iPhone. Plus, with all the Apple Watch deals happening and the recent software updates to older models, you can easily grab a great bargain.

If you're looking for an Apple Watch deal with a Cellular plan, a phone carrier like Verizon. AT&T, or T-Mobile could be your best option. Purchasing an Apple Watch from a carrier allows you to make monthly payments, and you can typically find discounts, especially if you have an existing phone plan with them.

The GoPro Hero 12 Black was released in 2023 and sat at the top of our best GoPro list before the GoPro Hero 13 was released in 2024. It's feature-packed and still one of the best action cameras you can buy, and it's also frequently discounted thanks to newer releases.

Compared to the Hero 11, new capabilities include a 1/4-inch thread mount to handle mini tripods, HDR video capture for improved picture. And support for wireless audio from a Bluetooth microphone. You're also getting GoPro's excellent Hypersmooth stabilization to handle your action shots, 10m waterproofing, and a battery life lasting up to two and a half hours.

GoPro's latest and greatest. The Hero 11 Black, was released in September of 2022 and is no longer available from the official GoPro store.

Including exporting videos in various formats, a feature that will please social media gurus. The Hero 11 Black also includes an improved Enduro rechargeable battery, support for 10-bit video, and HyperSmooth for the smoothest and steadiest recording experience.

The GoPro Hero 11 Black has a starting retail price of $ £ AU$ and. Is now GoPro's most expensive camera. Thanks to recent holiday sales, we've already seen discounts on the camera, so you shouldn't expect to pay full price.

2: GoPro Hero 10 Black deals One of GoPro's best cameras at a discounted price video: up to 60fps | 4K video: up to 120fps | 1080p video: up to 240fps | Stills: 23MP | Waterproof: 10m | Battery life: 1-2 hours estimate | Wireless: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS | Launch price: $ / £ / AU$749 $249 at Adorama US $ at Walmart (64GB) $ at Amazon (Black) at 60fps Snappier menus and interface Powerful GP2 processor Class-leading stabilization.

The GoPro Hero 10 Black launched back in 2021. But it still leads the market with its 60fps recording quality and high-powered processor under the hood. Of course, all that grunt comes with a high asking price, and the MSRP here represents a considerable jump over the previous generation Hero 9.

You're looking at a maximum cost of $ / £ / AU$749 for this professional level action camera. Though we have seen GoPro deals dropping that price to as little as $399 / £379 in the past year. In fact, over the last few months we've been seeing that sub-$400 price position relatively regularly, so you're browsing at an excellent time.

3: GoPro Hero 9 Black deals An older generation is seeing some strong discounts 5K video: up to 30fps | 4K video: up to 60fps | 1080p video: up to 240fps | Stills: 20MP | Waterproof: 10m | Battery life: 1-3 hours estimate | Wireless: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS | Launch price: $ / £ / AU$ $ at Amazon (Black) $ at Amazon (Black) $ at Walmart (64GB) Extra detail in 5K Additional front display Improved battery New software tricks.

The GoPro Hero 9 Black still comes with a range of new software attributes, an extended battery life. Brand new 5K shooting capabilities, and a front facing display. That's a good list of upgrades that adds more to the value than the Hero 8 Black offered, but you'll find little improvement in 4K shooting here.

That 5K option. However, makes up for the stasis of shooting 4K at 60fps. You'll get enhanced clarity and more vivid details with the new shooting mode, and pair that with HyperSmooth Boost (GoPro's latest and most powerful stabilization tech) and it's possible to achieve some amazing footage with the GoPro Hero 9 Black.

With all that new tech does come a shift in the GoPro price. With the new model launching for £100 / $200 more than the previous version now sits at. However, if you're shopping in the UK you can save that £100 by picking up GoPro's own launch bundle which offers up a year of the GoPro subscription (unlimited cloud storage, savings on accessories, and warranty replacement) with the new camera for far less than the action cam by itself.

4: GoPro Hero 8 deals A more affordable GoPro if you can find stock FOV: SuperView, Wide. Linear, Narrow | 4K video: up to 60fps | 1080p video: up to 240fps | 720p video: up to 240fps | Stills: 12MP | Burst: up to 30fps | Battery: 1220mAh | Launch price: $399 / £379 / AU$599 $319 at Amazon (Black) $ at Walmart (Black) $ at Amazon (Black) Excellent image stabilization Folding built-in mount more effective mic Now superseded.

This older GoPro was more about internal improvements over radical redesigns. But make no mistake, the GoPro Hero 8 Black is still one of the best action cameras GoPro has ever made.

Image Stabilization combats the most chaotic of scenes you can throw at it and. There's a superior microphone on the device now too. The water resistance is a solid 10m and the shock resistance rating of the Gorilla Glass lens cover has been doubled - especially handy if you're likely to make a mess of a landing or take a bit of a beating from the great outdoors.

So, it's still a fantastic action camera for 2022. And now with two generations ahead of it there's plenty of room for discounts. You can currently pick it up for around $100 / £100 cheaper than the Hero 9 Black. A very tempting pick if you're not too bothered about the latest aspects.

5: GoPro Max prices The best GoPro with a 360 degree camera FOV: Max SuperView, SuperView, Wide, Linear, Narrow | video: up to 30fps | 4K video: up to 60fps | 1080p video: up to 240fps | 720p video: up to 240fps | Stills: | Battery: 1600mAh | Launch Price: $499 / £479 / AU$799 $ at Competitive Cyclist $649 at BHPhoto $ at Amazon (Black) Film in full 360 modes Now with a proper display Cheap launch price Hero 8 Black has more effective camera.

If you want to film your latest adventures in full 360-degree vision then the new GoPro Max is the action camera you've been looking for. Its launch price is much cheaper than the older GoPro Fusion was on day one too.

We're glad to see a proper display screen on the GoPro Max as that was a feature we sorely missed on the older Fusion 360 degree camera. If filming in 360 isn't that high on your priorities, then the GoPro Hero 8 Black is the more effective camera for you, although the mic quality on the Max is more effective.

The GoPro Max only requires one memory card now and stitches the footage together in-camera, making editing much simpler and the Max HyperSmooth technology does a much improved job at leveling the horizon out - as long as you keep up your end of the deal by not flying over the handlebars and into a tree that is.

6: GoPro Hero 7 Black prices A great camera, with falling prices FOV: Super view, Wide, Medium, Linear | 4K video: up to 60fps | 1080p video: up to 240fps | Stills: 12MP | Burst: up to 30fps | Wireless: Wi-Fi, bluetooth, GPS | Auto low light: Yes | Launch Price: $399 / £379 / AU$599 $428 at Amazon (HDR) HyperSmooth is a great addition Live streaming capabilities Takes improved still images too Excellent value now.

For even cheaper still (sometimes). You can sometimes pick up the Hero 7 Black - an older device, but one that still shoots 4K 60fps video, and was the first to feature GoPro's 'HyperSmooth' image stabilization.

The resolution and frame-rates may be similar to the older 6 series (we were bound to hit a wall sooner or later), but GoPro HyperSmooth dramatically increases image stabilization with the Hero 7 Black. This motion smoothing technology can be used in numerous shooting modes to record the smoothest possible video running at 60fps. The voice-activated commands are more responsive than older models too. SuperPhoto tech performs automatic improvements on lighting colour and noise-reduction across multiple frames. ProTune options allow you to take the safety wheels off and tweak setting to your own particular style too.

Right now, depending on stock levels, the Hero 7 Black can sometimes be picked up for around $50 / £50 cheaper than the Hero 8, and about $130 / £130 cheaper than the Hero 9.

7: GoPro Hero 7 Silver prices Cheaper but lacking some of the latest aspects FOV: Wide | 4K video: up to 30fps | 1080p video: up to 60fps | Stills: 10MP | Burst: up to 15fps | Wireless: Wi-Fi, bluetooth, GPS | Auto low light: No | Launch price: $279 / £229 / AU$399 $299 at Amazon (Silver) $299 at Amazon Cheaper than the Hero7 Black 4K shooting impresses Decent stills capabilities Only 30fps at 4K.

Even cheaper still is the GoPro Hero7 Silver - a fantastic budget action camera that still manages to shoot in 4K. Albeit at a reduced 30fps.

That's the main difference here between the Silver and Hero7 Black, which will of course shoot in 4K and 60fps. So, you're still getting 4K here and this is generally the most widely available cheap 4K GoPro in 2020 but. The picture isn't quite as smooth as on the later or more premium models. The 1080p fps capabilities are slightly lower too and you also don't get the new HyperSmooth, SuperSmooth or Live Streaming elements either.

For the $150 / £150 odd price though, this is still an extremely capable. Durable, and waterproof action camera. There are cheaper models available on this page though if some of the functions seem like overkill or it's still a bit pricey.

8: GoPro Hero 7 White prices No 4K, but very cheap for a GoPro with a touchscreen FOV: Wide | 4K video: No | 1080p video: up to 60fps | Stills: 10MP | Burst: up to 15fps | Wireless: Wi-Fi, bluetooth | Auto low light: No | Launch price: $199 / £149 / AU$279 $ at Amazon (32GB) Very. Very cheap Records 1080p at 60fps Great build quality No 4K video.

The GoPro Hero7 White is perhaps the cheapest widely available GoPro device that's still around in 2020, going for as cheap as $149 / £149 at the retailers which still have stock. That's seriously cheap for a new GoPro camera, though as you can imagine this is definitely more of a stripped-down basic affair than the newer. More premium entries.

This more entry-level GoPro has the main omission of 4K video shooting. You do get a touchscreen though, and plenty of fps for 1080p standard HD resolution. If you'd be happier with 4K shooting instead of a touchscreen though you might be able to get a similar price via one of our highlighted GoPro Hero5 Session deals further down this page.

9: GoPro Hero 6 Black prices Still worth a look if the price is right FOV: Super view, Wide, Medium, Narrow | 4K video: up to 60fps | 1080p video: up to 240fps | Stills: 12MP | Burst: up to 30fps | Wireless: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth | Auto low light: Yes | Launch price: $399 / £379 / AU$599 $340 at Amazon (32GB) $349 at Amazon (Black) Captures 4K video at 60fps Improved image stabilization Water-resistant without housing Still fairly pricey.

If you can find it in stock, and. For a decent price (we recommend around $200 / £200), the Hero 6 Black is a flagship of yesteryear that still manages to pack in a ton of quality.

This is still an excellent GoPro camera with 4K recording at a super smooth 60 fps (frame per second). Image stabilization is super crucial given the active lifestyles most GoPros record, so it's great to see this model improve even further on older ones. Even the 1080p recording has been improved with a boost to 240fps - excellent for maximizing those slow-motion shots. We expect the price to drop on this one over time with the new Hero7 Black now on the scene. If the prices are still close though, you may as well opt for the new one.

10: GoPro Hero 5 Black prices Decent 4K shooting (albeit at 30fps) FOV: Super view, Wide, Medium, Narrow | 4K video: up to 30fps | 1080p video: up to 120fps | WVGA video: up to 240fps | Stills: 12MP | Burst: up to 30fps | Auto low light: Yes | Launch price: $399 / £379 / AU$599 $ at Amazon $ at Walmart (Black) $79 at Amazon (Black) Captures 4K video Touchscreen for easy controls Water-resistant without housing Only 30fps at 4K.

The Hero5 Black wass the GoPro we wanted for years. It was the first GoPro to have a waterproof design out-of-the-box, making it more resilient and. The camera has enough to make it a convincing improvement on the older models. The picture quality is advanced, it has video stabilization and the touchscreen makes it easier to use than any other GoPro before it. Sale items aside, it's often cheaper than the older GoPro Hero 4 Black now too.

An oldie, but a goodie. The Hero 5 Black is unfortunately showing its age now but is still a worthwhile pickup if you can score a deal. We definitely wouldn't recommend spending more than $150 / £150 though since there are more effective, newer options now which are sometimes actually cheaper, depending on stock.

11: GoPro Hero deals (2018 model) Great value for a GoPro with a touchscreen FOV: Wide, Medium. Narrow | 1080p video: up to 60fps | Stills: 10MP | Burst: up to 10fps | Wireless: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth | Auto low light: Yes | Launch price: $199 / £149 / AU$279 $238 at Amazon (32GB) $289 at Amazon (Black) Cheap for a GoPro Has a touchscreen Great HD footage Lower availability in 2020.

revision: We'd imagine this model is going to be phased out soon despite still being quite new. This is because it's pretty much identical to the ever newer GoPro Hero7 White in terms of capabilities. Actually, it's looking like the Hero7 White is currently cheaper! Always worth keeping an eye on this one though as clearance sales should mean potential discounts.

The simply-named GoPro Hero is cheaper than most other Hero models. You're not getting 4K capture options, but you are getting a display and a touchscreen. aspects many of you might miss from the other budget GoPro option, the GoPro Hero Session. There was an older GoPro Hero released years ago and if you want to avoid getting that one by mistake, avoid models with a big. Round, red light on the front as they can pop up in search results. They're not much cheaper, sometimes even more expensive and aren't as good as this 2018 version.

12: GoPro Hero 5 Session deals The small, but still 4K-capable GoPro FOV: Super view, Wide, Medium, Narrow | 4K video: up to 30fps | 1080p video: up to 90fps | Stills: 10MP | Burst: up to 30fps | Wireless: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth | Auto low light: Yes | Launch Price: $299 / £249 / AU$429 $ at Amazon (Black) $539 at Amazon (Black) Small. Unobtrusive design Captures stabilized 4K video Several new field of view modes Only 30fps at 4K.

The GoPro Hero5 Session is a capable 4K action camera with a minimalist design that pushes the specs to the max within its cube-shaped confines. The Hero5 Session is also a major specs boost for GoPro's tiniest action camera. It now shoots stabilized 4K video and has a variety of new field of view modes. It's more expensive than its predecessor, but it's well worth the upgrade.

Looking to take to the skies with your GoPro camera? There are certainly cheaper camera drones available, but this is one of the best premium setups out there. You can buy the drone on its own (often listed as 'GoPro Karma Light' or 'GoPro Karma with harness'), or get it bundled with the excellent GoPro Hero5 Black camera (some retailers may start to replace these bundles with the more modern Hero6 or Hero7 models instead).

We've also included price comparison charts for both below, but. You may be able to save a bit of cash by buying the drone and camera separately (check out the various GoPro Hero Black deals near the top of this page). You'll find the best GoPro Karma prices below though.
