What is Today's Best Laptop Brand?

By


So you're wondering what is today's best laptop brand? Well, year in and year out, flocks of consumers anticipate the arrival of the next MacBook or MacBook Pro with good reason. Apple has been long known for offering superior laptop designs that are bundled up with top of the line performance and an incredible operating system. To boot, Apple has the best tech support in the business as rated by consumers themselves. Despite Apple computers not sporting the fastest processors and graphic chips on the market, as compared to their Windows competitors, the overall joy that a Macbook brings to its user is second to none.

An entry-level MacBook has a price tag of $999. With that being said, it comes as no surprise that every laptop manufactured by Apple performs extremely well. Independent reviews by laptop magazines and online sources constantly have Apple systems on the top of their lists for fastest boot times, longest battery life, and excellent multimedia performance.

Design

Apple is always on the cutting edge of design, and the new Macbooks and Macbook Pros are no different. One can describe Apple’s designs as iconic and trend setting, while staying true to functionality and performance. The sleek body is beautifully accompanied by glass LED-backlit displays that display more color and vibrancy than most other notebooks in the MacBook’s class. The few complaints lie in the subpar speaker volume and the minimal availability of ports throughout the notebook. Regardless, few, if any notebooks feel as sleek and functional as the MacBook line does.

Touchpad and Keyboard

Not quite as functional and innovative as the Lenovo, the multitouch touchpads found on the MacBook and MacBook Pro make up for it with their stylish glass design and the backlit keyboard is unique and adds to the unique flavor that comes with the MacBooks.

Tech Support

Besides lacking with only 90 days of available free phone support, Apple is known for their stellar web and phone support. Clients and critics alike constantly rave about Apple’s superior support via those avenues than any other vendor. Additionally, all Apple users have full access to the Genius bar that is found in all Apple stores across the country. There, trained Apple technicians can be found to help troubleshoot general notebook problems as well as offer tips on maintenance and performance for the system. Additionally, free classes can be obtained for those who are not familiar with Apple’s operating system.

Overall Selection and Value

Those seeking to put a little bit of a personal touch to their new MacBook or MacBook Pros can do so via Apple’s website, but aside from that, the available configuration options are rather pricey and might not be the best option.

Operating System/Software

The renovated Snow Leopard OS makes finding files on the notebook a breeze. Additionally, the simplicity of backing up system files, and the ease of skimming through multiple open windows are only part of the exquisite software experience that comes with owning a MacBook. When tossing in one of the most complete multimedia suite offerings of any notebook on the market with iLife, which allows users to edit their photos and videos on the fly as well as a multitude of other great features, the software bundle found with new MacBooks and MacBooks Pro is simply hard to beat.

Miscellaneous

Apple brings in their unique Adaptive Charging technology which allows for the MacBook and MacBook Pros to be recharged up to 1,000 times. Considering the batteries can’t be replaced at home, this is a much-needed perk that comes with the notebook.
