HP Spectre x360 14 vs. MacBook Pro 14: HP still struggles

Mark Coppock / Digital Trends HP just released an updated version of its premier consumer laptop, the excellent Spectre x360 14, one of the best 2-in-1s you can buy. It’s well-made, offers a ton of flexibility, and is one of my favorite laptops I’ve reviewed recently. But it’s going up against the Apple MacBook Pro 14, which sits alongside the HP on our list of best laptops. When it comes to laptops that are both portable and powerful, though, the Spectre x360 still falls behind the MacBook Pro in some important…

This one surprising laptop could challenge the MacBook Pro

Asus For the last few years, MacBooks have had a serious advantage over its Windows rivals. No one else has been able to combine power and portability in the way Apple’s 14-inch MacBook Pro does, especially with the arrival of the M3 Max. But that may not be the case for much longer. Unveiled at CES 2024, the updated Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 seems to have serious ambitions on taking Apple’s crown. It’s a gaming laptop, yes, but it’s been redesigned from the ground up to cater to a crossover crowd. It’s sleek and svelte,…

Dell XPS 14 vs. MacBook Pro 14

Luke Larsen / Digital Trends Heading into CES 2024, Dell has a completely new lineup of XPS laptops, including an XPS 13 that looks like the XPS 13 Plus, an XPS 14, and an XPS 16. The XPS 14 is arguably the most exciting of the bunch in many ways, but it’s running smack-dab into the Apple MacBook Pro 14 that has dominated the segment since its introduction in 2021. Can Dell’s latest offering take over as the best 14-inch laptop? Not so fast. Specs and configurations   Dell XPS 14 Apple MacBook Pro 14 Dimensions…

This laptop from 2021 remains my favorite laptop

I’m pretty much always using a new laptop as my daily driver — whichever one that I’m testing for review. And in 2023 alone, I’ve reviewed almost 40 machines, ranging from near-budget machines with solid performance and impressive features all the way up to innovative devices like the HP Spectre Foldable PC. But occasionally, there’s a lull in new releases, which gives me a chance to do a gut check. Which laptop do I return to as my primary work machine? To my own surprise, it’s none of the flashy new releases from…

MacBook Pro 14 M3 Max vs. Dell XPS 15: totally outclassed

The Dell XPS 15 spent several years as the best laptop for creators who want to work on the go. But the Apple MacBook Pro 14 changed all that. Apple’s Silicon chips give it a real edge, even though it is expensive. Does the XPS 15 have a chance against the relative newcomer?

5 things you need to know before buying a new MacBook Pro

Apple recently introduced new MacBook Pro laptops with the M3 processor. On the surface, little else changed. The new machine sports the same high-quality and minimalist design (albeit with a striking new Space Black color), the same awesome mini-LED display, and the same exceptional keyboard and touchpad. You might be tempted to think that choosing a new MacBook Pro will be as simple as it was with the previous generation. If so, think again. There are several important gotchas with the new machines that need…

MacBook Pro 14-inch vs MacBook Pro 13-inch: Which is best?

Apple has finally updated its MacBook Pro models to the latest M3 series of chips, but in doing so, it has totally ditched the 13-inch model. While that means just the 14-inch MacBook Pro will be available going forward, you can still pick up the 13-inch MacBook Pro with older chips from third-party retailers. So, which should you buy? We’ve put both versions side by side to determine which one is worth your cash. Should you save some money with the 13-inch MacBook Pro or go all-out and buy the 14-inch model? Read on…
