MACBOOK PRO

After a long wait, Apple unveiled the new MacBook Pro. It’s more powerful, thinner, and more appealing. Apple has also added a secondary display, which is also a touchscreen, that shows contextual tools and suggestions for faster input. Apple, however, decided to show some more courage and replaced the vital ports by four Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports.

As a highlight feature, Apple has added a secondary display between the main screen and keyboard. This tiny Retina display is actually a touchscreen called Touch Bar. It has replaced the physical Escape key and the complete row of function keys. This intelligent display recognizes the application that you’re using and shows you different contextual tools and typing suggestions.

The new generation MacBook Pros excels in portability with reduced dimensions and weight. The 13-inch variant is just 14.9 mm thin which is 17 percent less than its predecessor. The 15-inch MacBook Pro is 14 percent slimmer than its previous version with a maximum thickness of 15.5-inch. The latest laptop comes with a second generation Touch ID fingerprint sensor placed at the right corner of Touch Bar.

DELL XPS13

The Dell XPS 13 became our top overall laptop by offering a 13-inch screen in a more compact package than its competitors, along with a winning combo of design, comfort, performance and battery life. Since its introduction, everyone has been trying to catch this ultraportable, but no one has been able to knock off the champ. Now, Dell has raised the bar even higher with an update to its XPS 13 that adds the latest 7th-generation Intel Core CPUs , even more battery life and stronger Wi-Fi performance.

You can now order this aluminum machine in a fetching rose-gold color, too, if you're willing to pay more for it. The XPS 13 isn't perfect -- see the webcam -- but overall, it remains our top pick.

Dell Xp13 Pros:

Beautiful “bezel-less” screen. Wide viewing angles. Can be viewed in direct sunlight

Thin screen bezel allows this 13″ laptop to fit within an 11″ laptop size chassis

Build quality is solid. There’s no flex in the keyboard or the bottom of the device

Thin, light weight, and ultra-portable. Its soft touch carbon fiber material looks and feels premium

Performance is good for a low power, Intel core processor

You can opt to save money and battery life and get the 1920×1080 non-touch screen model, or you can upgrade to the 3200 x 1800 touch screen model

HD Video looked good and worked as you expect it to

While researching Ultrabooks, I found many to have trackpad issues. The XPS 13 doesn’t have this problem. Its trackpad is accurate and nicely sized

The trackpad allows you to perform some gestures (scrolling, pinch and zoom, etc.) that will help you miss the touch screen less, should you go with the non touch screen model

It includes 802.11ac dual band Wi-Fi for maximum wireless performance. Bluetooth 4.0 is included as well

It has a backlit keyboard

Battery life is great. Plus you can add a small external battery to increase battery life even further

Low starting price, although I would suggest that most upgrade to the i5, 8GB ram unit.

It has a full size SD card slot, which should make photographers happy. Note that 1/3 of the SD card protrudes from the slot

Includes a display port. Optional Dell adapter allows you to add HDMI, VGA, and Ethernet ports. Or you can get a cheap HDMI adapter

Optional docking station supports up to three external monitors, including 1 4K monitor

The PCIe M.2 SSD drive is upgradable. Unless you need 512GB, the Dell $100 upgrade to 256GB is a good value.

You can plug the AC adapter into the optional external battery, then plug the external battery into the XPS to charge the XPS and external battery simultaneously.

Dell Xp13 Cons:

The fan kicks in when you are taxing the system. If you use the High Performance power setting, the fan seems to run constantly

The screen on the touch-screen version is very glossy. I don’t mind glossy but some people will.

Key travel on the keyboard is a tad bit shallow. It’s not bad but it’s worth noting.

Due to the thin bezel, the web cam is under the screen. As a result, your fingers may show up on the webcam while you type during webcam sessions

The body can get warm, although I have yet to experience uncomfortable warmth

Air vents are on the bottom so be careful about resting the XPS 13 on your bed or rug

The speakers are on the sides instead of the front and sound tiny

The low entry price increases quickly once you add a few upgrades

No HDMI port, although you can add one via an optional Dell Adapter

No Stylus pen support.

No 4G option as of this writing

Don’t expect to play 3D games with this laptop as its integrated graphics can’t handle it
