Move, Apple! 5 laptops for big bosses on the go

Is the best travel notebook in the world dead? Ten years after Steve Jobs introduced the MacBook Air to the world, the laptop is on the back of Apple Inc. – and some fear it's completely eliminated.

Rather than redesigning and improving hardware like all the other flagship products of technology giant, Apple left Air to collect dust, and now the MacBook and MacBook Pro are taking the limelight. Although they are more powerful, they are not as convenient for frequent travelers.

On the surface, the MacBook and MacBook Pro 13 inches are measured in the air. They are comparable in terms of size and weight, but they do not have the superskinny, sloped gradient design that makes Air so easy to slip in and out of hand luggage. But the new models lack the "chiclet" keyboard of the Air, with its quiet and spacious keys. The replacement "butterfly" design has been modified to be slightly quieter, but remains so subject to malfunctions and sticky keys that Apple has revised its warranty coverage for some MacBooks. While this month's updates have added impressive specifications in terms of processing, memory and storage, these models still have smaller screens, shorter battery life, relatively high prices, and barely changed for more than a decade.

Add it all, and it's no surprise that Mac-loyal warriors around the world are becoming more and more seduced by lighter, sleeker, badier, and more powerful notebooks – those who run Windows and Chrome OS.

These five MacBook replacements are guaranteed to meet your work and play needs, whether you are bored in a professional suite, whether you are using PowerPoint slides in a hotel room or are using the Shinkansen. Based on a global road test that took us from New York to Los Angeles and from Tokyo to Paris, these are the best of a dozen new options that stand out for their excellent portability, comfort, range and durability. computing power.
