11 Best Laptops (2019): MacBook, Chromebook, Windows 10

Huawei hasn’t been making laptops for all that long, and yet it managed to make a splash with its MateBook X Pro in 2018. It has a slim aluminum body, superb battery life, and a gorgeous display that measures nearly 14 inches across diagonally. Despite the fact that its webcam, which is hidden in a function key and pops up like an old car headlight, is highly impractical (and almost unusable), the MateBook X is a worthy aesthetic competitor to many of the MacBook-inspired models out there. $1,200 will get you an eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256-gigabyte solid state drive. For $1,500, you can buy a model with a separate Nvidia GeForce graphics card. (Note, a 2019 version of this laptop is coming by summer. It’s mostly identical, with a slight bump in GPU to the Nvidia MX250.)
