6. Microsoft Surface Book - they learned how to make computers at Microsoft
Surface Book is excellent proof that they Microsoft learned to work with computers and that they are slowly even surpassing it with innovation Apple. This innovation is evident at every step. First of all, we are surprised by the aspect ratio, which amounts to 3 : 2 and it is much squarer than we are used to in the competition, then there is its atypical dimension 13.5 inches. But this is just the beginning. You can disassemble this laptop into two parts and get a completely independent tablet.
Core Suface Booka it is hidden in the part where the screen is located, and not on the base where the keyboard is. It is attached to the keyboard via a special clipboard. That's it Sufrace Pro more of a tablet than a laptop. And right here lies the proof of his innovation.

7. Apple MacBook Pro 13 - still among the best
Apple still makes the best-built and best-looking laptops in the world. There is absolutely no doubt about that. They pay so much attention to the production that it borders on high art. But Apple has fallen asleep in certain areas and the competition is overtaking it both left and right. But it's not all about the numbers on paper, at the end of the day it's mostly about the feelings of how the computer works in its ecosystem. And here it is MacBook still among the best.
What makes it special is the toolbar Touch Bar, a small touch screen that replaced the function keys and the most the controversial USB-C connector, which represents the future of connectivity, but for now only with a bunch of adapters that cause gray hair for users. Apple has always plowed the fallow in certain areas, even at the expense of considerable user dissatisfaction.
Despite the multitude of reasons against the purchase, one of which is definitely the price, which starts at 2,100 euros, we believe that the 13-inch version will be the one that the believers of the Apple brand will most often choose as a compromise between the price and what they get. Its bigger brother, the MacBook Pro 15, is so much more expensive that its purchase is by no means a rational choice.
