Apple’s MacBook range has been in desperate need of a refresh. Many people have held off getting a new MacBook in hopes that the new devices would be impressive pieces of hardware that would make any laptop user weep with longing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple MacBook Pro Alternatives<\/span><\/h2>\n

To say that the new MacBook Pro<\/a> range is underwhelming is an understatement. Many loyal MacBook users feel that Apple hasn’t done enough and are now considering the unthinkable, moving over to Windows.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re one of those, here are a few of the best new Windows laptops to get:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. HP Spectre 13<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

Boasting HP’s new logo, some high-end finishes, and Bang&Olufsen sound, the Spectre 13 looks every bit the premium laptop.<\/span><\/p>\n

It features what the company calls an “edge-to-edge” display and and has all the ports you need in a ridiculously slim laptop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

Lenovo has been a global leader in ultra portable laptops for longer than we can remember. They don’t, however, always bring the most exciting design to their machines. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon looks decidedly plain when you first see it. But, then you see just how slim it is, and you wonder if it’s going to be powerful enough.<\/span><\/p>\n
