The Acer Aspire 16 AI is a lightweight, budget-friendly 16-inch laptop that offers a good balance of portability and screen size, with impressive battery life exceeding 21 hours, a 1440p webcam, and a sleek design, though its performance is adequate for general tasks and it has mediocre speakers.
Apple's 2025 MacBook Air with the M4 chip has dropped to a new low price of $799, making it cheaper than many basic Windows laptops. It features a powerful M4 chip with a 10-core CPU, 8-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine, offering significant performance improvements for tasks like video editing and AI functions. The laptop boasts a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, up to 18 hours of battery life, and enhanced camera and connectivity options, making it a highly portable and powerful choice at this price.
The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 2 is a sturdy and compact business ultraportable that offers strong overall performance with its AMD Ryzen Pro 7000 processors and a spectacular 2.8K OLED touch panel. While it boasts outstanding application and graphics performance, an attractive design, and a comfortable keyboard, it is heavier than competing 14-inch models, has a 13.3-inch display that can feel cramped, and offers merely average battery life and minimal ports. Priced at nearly $2,000 with upgrades, it faces tough competition from premium business ultraportables, including from Lenovo itself, such as the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 and HP Dragonfly G4, which offer roomier 14-inch displays and lighter weights.
