So I've been looking at laptops for 2 days now, which means I'm an expert on all things laptop related. And this is what I've found.
Contrary to reputation MacBook air is now the affordable (brand new) laptop option. Which is insane.
(I am not using the laptop for gaming really, besides occasional v v old games ).
I'm also surprised someone like xiaomi hasn't stepped into the laptop market. They seem to make redminook pros for the Chinese market, and I think an affordable actually good macbookpro or xps alt would be extremely popular.
This is my report.
Please do not zap me, just send me a free laptop in the post instead. Thank you.
