But the latest Apple laptops make the one I once declared the best in the world feel like a good fit for my grandma’s living room. Even some Windows laptops are catching up. Just take Dell’s XPS 13. It crams a high-resolution 13-inch screen into a laptop closer in size to the compact 11-inch MacBook Air. And it starts at just $800.
Windows 8, right? Nope. On July 29, Windows 10 arrives and it’s enough for me to tell frustrated Windows users to hold off on moving to a Mac. The software brings back some of the best of Windows 7, including the Start Menu, and adds some impressive multitasking features. (I plan to review the best Windows 10 laptops for the back-to-school buying season.)
Don’t get me wrong: Mac laptops are still at the top of my recommendation list. Apple engineers the best computer hardware around, has unbeatable in-person customer service and, come this fall, will be giving Mac users what looks to be a darn good software update with the just announced OS X El Capitan.
Apple has spent the past three months updating its entire lineup so it’s actually a great time to buy. The problem is many of the latest laptops cost within a couple hundred bucks of each other. At the $1,300 price range, you will be perplexed by your options. After testing, I’m certain you can’t get every bit of Mac goodness in one laptop. For every talent they have, they each make sacrifices. So the decision, as always, comes down to prioritizing what’s important to you.
