So, you may want to perform a quick search for it.

ASUS X555LA

If you look at it from afar, you may mistake the ASUS X55LA for a MacBook Pro. If this doesn’t reveal the quality of this laptop, then I don’t know what will. However, since its much cheaper than the MacBook Pro, you shouldn’t expect the ASUS X555LA to have a plastic body as sexy as that of the latter. Nonetheless, there is a lot to look forward to including a mammoth 1TB hard drive, 4GB of RAM and a range of ports.

The cheapest version of this laptop has an i3 processor. However, by a little extra, you can upgrade to a powerful i5 model. Boasting a 15.6-inch full HD screen, ASUS X55LA is equipped with a DVD writer. The laptop is just a tad heavier than an Ultrabook despite having a numeric keypad and a large display.

This piece of tech comes with an integrated kickstand, a full-blown Windows 10 version and an optional keyboard attachment, making it a great option for students and creative professionals. The only con of this tech is its premium power. But, if you’re willing to spend what the Surface 4 Pro costs, the expect a laptop with a power—a lot of it.

Apple MacBook Pro

Get ready to welcome the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar if you want the best laptop from Apple. The Surface Book 2 may or may not be more powerful than the MacBook Pro (something that Microsoft claims), but it is definitely more expensive than the latter at the starting level. But, being cheaper than the Surface Book 2 isn’t the only accomplishment of the MacBook Pro. It has a lot more to offer with the Touch Bar—a thin OLED display at the keyboard’s pinnacle, being the most valuable offering. Using the bar, you can perform a number of functions including logging in with your fingerprint and getting word suggestions automatically as you type. Other things to expect include 256 GB to 1 TB storage, an 8 GB RAM and a super-fast performance.

ASUS Chromebook FLIP

Once you get this piece of tech, expect a tactile keyboard and an elegant tablet mode.
