Lenovo ThinkPad X250 Read Our Review

Our Verdict: With its sharp screen, comfortable keyboard, good performance, and durability features, Lenovo's ThinkPad X250 comes as close to perfection as an ultraportable can. And how does two-day battery life sound to you?

Rated 5 / 5 Stars

Apple MacBook Pro With Retina Display (15-Inch, 2013 Version) Read Our Review

Our Verdict: Intel's "Haswell" architecture gives Apple's already excellent MacBook Pro a big battery boost, while the starting price dips a bit. Sure, $1,999 is a lot to ask for a base-model laptop in 2013, but the Retina Pro remains the best all-around laptop we've tested.

Lenovo ThinkPad P70 Read Our Review

Our Verdict: It's more luggable than portable, but Lenovo's 17.3-inch workstation puts Intel's latest Xeon and Nvidia's latest Quadro silicon to good use.

Microsoft Surface Book Read Our Review

Our Verdict: OEM who? Microsoft jumps to the head of the hybrid class with its first laptop—a 13.5-inch detachable whose power and precision merit its high price.

Dell XPS 13 (Late 2015, Skylake Core i5) Read Our Review

Our Verdict: Dell's refreshed XPS 13 adds a "Skylake" CPU, a future-looking Thunderbolt 3 port, and speedy PCIe-based storage, while retaining its (mostly) excellent design. If you're looking for a well-rounded, compact traditional laptop, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything better for Windows.

Rated 4.5 / 5 Stars
