Five best laptops that can travel the world with you
These MacBook
replacements will meet your work and play needs, whether you are bored in a
business-class suite or dashing off PowerPoint slides in a hotel room
If efficiency is your middle
name, get the Google Pixelbook
The sexy, two-toned body, which features Gorilla
Glass and brushed metal, won’t smudge no matter how many times you unpack and
repack it around the airport. And at just 2.4 pounds, you won’t feel the
Pixelbook in your carry-on. There’s top-of-theline hardware inside this laptop,
including quad-core i7 processors and 16 GB of RAM, making for ultrafast
loading speeds and easy multitasking.
The specs
• Weight 2.4 lbs
• Size 11.4x8.7x0.4 inches
• Price from $999
If you want to turn heads, get
the Microsoft Surface Laptop
The Surface laptop comes in a bevy of sharp colours
including burgundy, cobalt blue and graphite gold, and the fabric trim around
the keyboard is polished and sophisticated. The battery lasts an impressive 14
hours. But be sure to upgrade the hardware specs as you customise your model.
For on-the-go professionals, the i7 CPU, 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB solidstate drive
are best.
The specs
• Weight 2.76 lbs
• Size 12.13x8.79x0.57 inch
• Price from $799
If you never, ever unplug, get
the Lenovo ThinkPad Carbon X1
The sixth-gen ThinkPad Carbon X1 from Lenovo is built
for business, with a 15-hour battery life. It also has the latest
eighth-generation quad-core CPUs for fast performance, multiple inputs,
fingerprint authentication and a sliding webcam cover, an HDR screen, and a
stealthily quiet keyboard. This is a lean, mean productivity machine — it’s
even shock-resistant, temperatureproof, and vibration-resistant.
The specs
• Weight 2.49 lbs
• Size 12.74x8.55x0.63 inch
• Price from $1,367
If you frequently work in
cramped quarters, get the Dell XPS 13
Sometimes, adjectives like ‘slim’ and ‘lightweight’
translate to a fartoo-tiny screen. Not so with Dell Inc’s redesigned XPS 13.
It’s five ounces lighter, 0.22 inches thinner, and about 45 per cent smaller in
volume than the MacBook Air — and yet the 13.3-inchscreen is identical in size,
thanks to a ‘virtually borderless’ InfinityEdge display that you can order in
touchscreen 4K definition.
The specs
• Weight 2.76 lbs
• Size 12.13x8.79x0.57 inch
• Price from $799
If you want bang for your buck,
get the Huawei Matebook X Pro
Like its phones, Huawei’s flagship laptop offers
significantly better performance for less of an outlay than its rivals. Even
with the latest Intel Core i7 processor and a high-speed solid-state drive, the
Matebook X Pro tops out at $1,600. There’s plenty to love besides the price,
including a slim bezel, 3K-resolution touchscreen, and four speakers.
The specs
• Weight 2.92 lbs
• Size 12x8.5x0.6 inch
• Price from $1,199.
