The HP Envy x360 15 and Spectre x360 15 are similar in some ways and different in others. Here's how to choose between them.
Asus ZenBook 13 UX333 vs. Apple MacBook Air
Asus has long produced some fine "budget" laptops in its ZenBook 13 300-series lineup. The latest ZenBook 13 UX333 is a little different, in that it not only offers great value, performance, and battery life, but also looks great. We matched it up against the Apple MacBook Air, renovated in late 2018.
Acer Chromebook 13 review
Acer’s Chromebook 13 is a plain old clamshell notebook that doesn’t even boast a touch display. Instead, it focuses on bringing a solid build and superior performance to the Chrome OS platform. It mostly succeeds at both, but that’s not enough to separate it from the growing Chromebook pack.
Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 review
Samsung swapped out the ARM processor for Intel in the Chromebook Plus V2, making this moderately priced 2-in-1 faster but not as long-lasting. Everything else remained roughly the same, meaning it’s a well-built Chromebook that doesn’t stand out regarding price, performance, or panache.

Lenovo ThinkPad T490 review: A classic workhorse
The ThinkPad T490 is an excellent replacement for the venerable T480 as the line's workhorse laptop. It's fast enough for productivity work and can be upgrade to perform better at creative tasks and gaming, and it has excellent build quality and battery life. You can spend more on a ThinkPad, but why?
Asus ZenBook 14 UX433 vs. Dell XPS 13
Dell was the first to start shrinking display bezels in an effort to make ever-smaller notebooks, and its XPS 13 has been the iconic example of the trend. Asus decided it wanted in on that game, and its ZenBook 14 UX433 is part of a new line of tiny-bezeled clamshells. Can it take on the industry leader?
HP Pavilion x360 14 (2019) review
The HP Pavilion x360 14 provides a solid value in a budget 360-degree convertible 2-in-1. As reviewed, the Intel 8th-gen CPU provides average performance that's just fine for productivity use, and the option of upgrading to an Intel 10th-gen processor is a real plus. That's the version you'll want to buy.
