The Lenovo ThinkBook 13s tries – but mostly fails -- to provide small and medium business users with enough business features to woo them away from competing consumer offerings.
Though this year’s XPS 13 may look like an iterative release from Dell, the notebook’s 10th-Gen Intel processor makes it a powerful option to consider, now packing up to a six core processor.
The Asus Chromebook Flip C434 is a very well-built and attractive laptop for its price. It’s more than fast enough for Chrome OS, has a great keyboard and touchpad, and offers all-day battery life.
Asus’ Zephyrus M is a mid-range gaming laptop that looks like it could be your everyday machine. Its ninth-generation Core i7 processor and RTX 2060 graphics chip are promising on paper, but odd choices hold the laptop back.
The Asus ZenBook S13 is one of the smallest 14-inch class laptops around, and it’s the “world’s slimmest laptop with MX150 graphics.” That’s not just hyperbole – this is a strong performer in a tiny package.
The Lenovo IdeaPad S940 is a well-built laptop that leverages its tiny bezels to good effect. It’s small, thin, and has a great display, with a cost in performance and battery life.
The Razer Blade Pro 17 might have “Pro” in its name, but that doesn’t mean it’s for professionals – unless you’re an esports athlete. This is a powerhouse gaming laptop with performance aimed right at gamers.
Acer’s 13-inch version of the Swift 3 clamshell laptop doesn’t offer much to distinguish itself from a very crowded market. It’s not faster, cheaper, better-built, or more attractive than the competition.
Dell’s Latitude 7400 2-in-1 is the world’s smallest 360-degree convertible with a 14-inch display. It’s made for business users, but consumers with fat wallets will like its features and battery life.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro was given an update in 2019, though you can’t tell from looking at it. What’s changed? A more powerful 9th-gen Core i9 processor option and a slightly tweaked keyboard.
