How is the zenbook 13 ux333 not in this list? Best looking laptop since the first xps13 and 1/3 the price of a macbook pro with same specs.
You can get a Razer 15 advanced for $1599.
Portability is a goofy metric when all these laptops will fit into the computer slot of a backpack
There wasn’t even a consideration for ports (fast charging, usb/usbc, hdmi, etc.)
Design was literally a popularity contest rather than anything based in objective reality such as camera placement, authentication, etc. etc.
I came here looking to decide between a Dell XPS 15 and a Razer Blade 15 and I gained no new insights from this silly draw up whatsoever.
This comparsion is one of the dumbest i´ve seen so far.
How can you even compare a blade vs. a macbook?
the Blade is running a gtx1650 with a 10th gen i7 – NOTHING on the others even come close to what the razer blade can do. not even a mile away.
Btw, before you whine, i own a macbook pro.
So biased
Carbon x1 crying in corner.
Now, I want to buy a laptop:
Hp 15db0002au; AMD dual core e2 9000e; 4GB DDR4; 5000GB HDD.
Next, I want to replace HDD with 120GB or 240 GB SSD.(Would it be a right decision??)
Later, I want to add this HDD in place of DVD RW.(Would it be a right decision??)
Then,can this laptop run MS office and internet **without any problem**??
Please answer…
Hei im a laptop power user and that guy dont know what he si talking about they should get a better guy gradeing them why do you think linus tech tips is using a razer laptop he is the one who has the experiance and a crew behind him pls just get someone who knows more that that guy buying rigt laptop is important and isnt something that you should take lightly and pls if ur buying one check a opinion of youtubers who are rewieving them reguarly
haha apple got beat very nice.
Disco computer!! – sorry u dont deserve to touch it😵🤯
This guy should really just be fired
This is a nice assessment.
How does the dell do with gaming?
Agree with other comments – you judged the $1799 Dell on performance and the $899 Dell on price. Also, would have preferred to see the Matebook X Pro and HP Spectre in there … though I suppose you could argue that these are at a higher price point than the current Mac Air, but they are within the range of laptops you tested against the Air. So a much better comparison would’ve been: Macbook Pro, Dell XPS 13, Matebook X Pro, HP Spectre.
You can add another round for what you prefer but you cannot mix it all together
Surface laptop 3??
Which laptop have the best speakers? 🙂
"590 minutes, which is almost 6 hours" Jesus I stopped the video 2:30 in couldn’t watch anymore
If your subgoal was to make users seem as shallow & stupid as possible: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Because 90% of them are.
"Climate change! Er muh gawd dewwww sumthin! Safe tha Earthses!"
(5 minutes later…)
"So I threw muh new MacBook out and bought 4 Acers instead! Becuz teksschurrrr! Kullerrr! Yay meeeeee!".
Gen Z is going to tear Gen Y new assholes for their collective hypocrisy! 😂😂
The surface laptop and pro exist too, you know.
Macbook???
That intro to dan was not at all necessary
LG Gram has longest battery life
I dont think dell should have won because you compared the 899 and 1799 as of they were equals. Also design is kinda ugly. I dont know which is better though it wouod take research
Hmm I learned that 590 minutes is almost 6 hours not quite
where is HP?
Pounds? Inches? Really? XD
590 minutes, almost 6 hours not quite, lol
Disco computer ?
Somebody get her out of there asap and punch her in the face
If the operating system is one of the criteria, the Macbook might have a shot at #1. I always wanted an XPS, but Windows 10 always makes me back out.
The value segment makes no sense
The traditional MacBook seriously?
CNET credibility..1 point.
OBVIOUSLY THEY GOT PAID TO PROMOTE DELL !
You should have introduces hp with them
Guy with the moustache has no problem with the pop up camera
Polls are useless

I think MacBook is the best
CringeNet
Durability?
Cancer video. Delete it
Obviously, the brands of these laptops that made the list surely paid the channel to rank their laptops. It’s not a completely reliable list.
you mean its only $2000 per lb? its a steal , lol
Actually mac won, he just gave XPS first
Don’t rely on non-tech channels to review tech.
This is a joke right?….Yeah…sure dude Dell and Razer definetly both deserve a 4 for performance cuz you know…it’s the same thing..*cough😂*
where is hp??? stop paid pramotion.. dont give false news.. just shutup
In the intro, his voice sounded like linus. Anyone else think so?
wtf, acer looks so good
