Five months later, the HP Spectre Folio is still one of my favorite laptops
HP's Spectre Folio is a leather-wrapped laptop with a really weird 2-in-1 design. It might seem like it's full of gimmicks, a one-off that HP put out there just to attract some attention. But after using it for several months, I've discovered that nothing could be farther from the truth.
Acer Swift 3 (2019) vs. Asus ZenBook 14 UX433
You don't have to settle for a too-small 13.3-inch laptop nor one that's too large at 15.6 inches. Instead, you can choose the Goldilocks option: A 14-inch laptop that's neither too big nor too tiny. The ZenBook 14 and Acer Swift 3 present two different options with strengths and weaknesses.

Asus ZenBook 15 UX533 vs. Dell XPS 15: A battle royale with one clear winner
Asus uses some tiny bezels to make a very small 15-inch class notebook. It's a well-configured machine with a fast U-series CPU, lots of RAM and storage, and solid performance and battery life. But the Dell XPS stands in its way, with a faster processor and better displays. Which wins head-to-head?
Acer Swift 7 vs. Apple MacBook Air
Acer's Swift 7 is singularly focused on being as thin as possible, and it succeeds -- rivaling the iPhone X at around 0.35 inches thick. But its keyboard has a weird layout and its touchpad doesn't click, making it hard to use. Does Apple's MacBook Air win out as being more pleasant to use?

HP just released on of the most interesting notebooks in ages, a leather-clad 2-in-1 with a supple and luxurious feel and a uniquely flexible design.

HP Spectre Folio vs. Apple MacBook Air
Apple's MacBook Air received an update recently, gaining an 8th-generation Intel CPU to go with a thinner, lighter, and smaller chassis. Is that enough to keep up with the HP Spectre Folio, which is literally constructed of leather and lasts a very long time on a single charge of its battery?
HP Envy x2 vs. Microsoft Surface Pro 6
HP's Envy x2 is a bit of an odd beast, coming in two versions with either an AMD or an Intel CPU. We reviewed the latter and found it to provide modest performance and good battery life at a low price -- with a mediocre keyboard cover. Does it stand a chance against the best tablet, the Surface Pro 6?
