Since tablets dominated the market in Russia, there has been a steady decline in the demand for laptops. However, resellers claim that this year’s laptop sales have only slightly increased and are still rising. Despite efforts by manufacturers to make tablets replace laptops, even big tablets with keyboards can’t compete with laptops in terms of functionality and performance. The screen diagonal of a laptop is still greater than that of a tablet, but it has become lighter and more portable.

a MacBook Pro 15-inch.

The 13.3-inch MacBook Pro and its “big brother,” the 15-inch MacBook Pro, were introduced to the public in October of last year. The most productive Apple laptop available at the moment has a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor clocked at 2 or 7 GHz with an overclocking capability of 3 or 6 GHz, a built-in SSD with a capacity ranging from 512 to 2 TB depending on configuration, and 16 GB of RAM. We did our best to load up this laptop and significantly “slow down” the system when we tested it in the editorial office.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro is the thinnest laptop of that size, losing only about 2 point 5 mm in thickness. Although it might seem like good news, almost all of the case’s interfaces were lost, which allowed the additional device to be confused. Just four Thunderbolt 3 ports can be found on the MacBook Pro. When compared to the fastest USB protocol, 3.1 Gen 2, they offer data transfer rates of up to 40 Gb/s, which is four times as fast. But keep in mind that the 2015 MacBook Pro still had an SD slot, two USB 3.0 ports, two Thunderbolt 2 connectors, HDMI, and a MagSafe 2 magnetic charging port. Despite being a thinner laptop, the new MacBook still has the adapter issue for owners.

However, let’s concentrate on the good things. the resolution of a 2880×1800 retina display. Compared to the 2015 model, brightness and contrast have increased by 67%. Initially, Touch ID scanners were only found in Macs. A fingerprint search starts when something is touched, and the corresponding user profile is then opened. The main draw was Apple’s newest creation, the Touch Bar, which replaced the F1 through F12 keys. Depending on the activity, you can use a variety of tools, such as emoticons, browser tab switching, predictive text input, and sound adjustments. With a typical load, the laptop can run independently for around 10 hours.

Surface of a MacBook.

The updated laptop from Microsoft, created almost in defiance of the MacBook (in any case, it was compared to Apple’s invention at the presentation), is compatible with iTunes, iCloud, and iPhone – the user has signs that the switch from “apple” products will take place for him practically painlessly. The Surface Book, in contrast to the MacBook, has a detachable touch screen that enables it to operate in tablet, presentation, or console mode, making it perfect for people who need a laptop for work, especially artists and designers. The resolution is 3200 pixels. With a pixel density of 267 PPI, the display becomes even more enjoyable to use.

The laptop is listed on the website for $100, or roughly 5,650 rubles, and includes a Surface Pen stylus. You can navigate your browser’s pages, adjust the screen’s brightness, and undo any most recent actions you’ve taken using this puck-shaped tool. The Windows Hello face recognition features can be used by users to sign in.

A 1 TB SSD, 16 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M graphics card with 2 GB of graphics memory, and an Intel Core i7 processor are all included in the top configuration, which is intended for designers. To run demanding games with high graphics and resource requirements, this is sufficient. Such a laptop can operate for up to 16 hours without a connection. The batteries for these models are intended to last 12 hours, and simpler configurations include those with Intel Core i5 processors and 128/256/512 GB drives.

Two Surface Connect connectors for adding extra monitors or projectors, a Mini Display Port, and two USB 3.0 ports are all standard on all Microsoft laptops.

ZenBook Flip UX360 from ASUS.

The 13-inch, monolithic aluminum ultrabook-transformer Asus ZenBook Flip UX360 has an excellent touch screen that can be rotated 360 degrees to be used as a tablet. The top configuration has a 3200×1800 pixel display resolution. (276 PPI high pixel density), which is also offered with a Full-HD display. The display’s brightness and the richness of the reproduced shades are two of the manufacturer’s best accomplishments. Another feature of the ZenBook Flip is a high-precision touchpad that is built into the display. The touch response is crisp and quick because touch sensors are spaced every 6 mm rather than every 9 mm as they are on most laptops.

The device is very visually striking and only weighs 1 point 3 kg and measures 13 point 9 mm in thickness. Aluminum is used to make the case, which comes in Icicle Gold and Mineral Grey. A few of the configurations for the ultrabook that are available include the 6th generation Intel Core m3, m5, or m7 processor, RAM ranging from 4 to 8 GB, and SSD ranging from 128 to 512 GB. These processors and the professional or home edition of Windows 10 are additional features. We make use of Intel HD Graphics 515 for the graphics.

Due to its promise of 12 hours of work after a full charge of the battery, the ultrabook will be appealing to those who prefer to work independently. There are enough of each connector type on the case, including two USB 3.0, Micro-HDMI, and USB Type-C. Two adapters are also included in the package, which convert the micro-HDMI port into a full-sized HDMI and the USB port into an RJ-45 interface.

All things considered, Asus has produced a remarkably thin and light convertible ultrabook that, thanks to its respectable performance, can be used as a fully functional Windows laptop for the office.

Envy x360.

The all-metal 15.6-inch convertible from HP, which was updated the previous year, can open 360 degrees. The laptop’s case thickness is 18 mm, making it thinner than its forerunners, and HP is still a supporter of the 2-in-1 laptop trend (read our review).

The model can run basic games, edit videos, and watch movies without any problems thanks to a 2 TB hard drive, up to 16 GB of RAM, and an Intel Core i5 or i7 chipset with an Intel Iris Pro Graphics 540 graphics accelerator. Additionally, a model with an eight-core AMD FX 9800P processor and Radeon R7 graphics is available.

The laptop’s Full-HD touch screen, which was covered in tempered glass and looked like a solid black mirror when off (there is also a model with a display that has a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels), was a very appealing sight. Other interfaces include an HDMI connector, a headphone and microphone combo port, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB Type-C port, and more. You can work for almost 10 hours without needing to recharge because the battery supports fast charging, which enables the device to “gain” 90% of its charge in an hour and a half. In addition, autonomy is excellent.

XPS 13 DELPHI.

Thanks to its close-screen frames’ thin design, the Dell Ultrabook, updated in September of last year, made our list of laptops with the best screen-to-body ratios. The DELL XPS 13 has newer generation Intel Core processors and longer lasting 60 Wh built-in batteries compared to the previous model. Additionally, a brand-new stylish body color called Rose Gold is readily available. One of the lightest and thinnest products in its category on the market, the device has a maximum weight of just 1.29 kg and a case thickness that ranges from 9 to 15 mm.

В столь изящном корпусе скрывается мощное железо. The i3-7100U, i5-7200U, or i7-7500U are your options for processor models. DDR3 RAM can store up to 16 GB of data, while SSDs can store up to 1 TB of data, and the Intel HD Graphics 620 video card responds for the graphics.

The 13.3-inch screen can now fit inside the 11-inch model’s body because of the minimal bezel. An optically sharpened Full HD screen is included with the most recent firmware version, whereas an UltraSharp Quad HD display is included with the earlier version.

Lenovo Yoga 910 model.

a sturdy convertible laptop with a touch screen that is easily rotated 360 degrees and fixed rigidly at the desired angle. As experience has shown, this final feature is not always feasible with hybrid laptops. The device’s fans were pleased with the new version last year, and it turned out to be significantly more popular than the Yoga Book with a touch keyboard, which was unveiled at IFA-2016 and makes it difficult to touch type or even just type quickly.

The aluminum case of the Lenovo Yoga 910 “lost weight,” shrinking from 14.9 mm to 14.3 mm. A fingerprint scanner is used to log in and confirm online payments.

The 13-inch screen was mounted in the same frame as the Yoga 900’s 13-inch screen as the manufacturer followed the “frameless” trend. Depending on your preferences, select either Full-HD or Ultra HD. The Intel Core i5 or i7 Kaby Lake processor is installed in the ultrabooks from the 910 series, depending on the configuration. A 1 TB capacity is available for the drive. A 15-hour continuous use of the laptop is possible.

Although the new Lenovo Yoga has received positive reviews overall, some updates are not welcome. The removal of the SD slot and video input made the case smaller. One of the two USB Type-C ports needs to be converted to HDMI or DisplayPort using an adapter, which can be purchased for as little as $40 (about 2260 rubles), according to the website.
