Top 10 Laptops of 2017:

1. Dell XPS 13 (2017) :

On the First position, we have listed Dell Xps 13 (2017). The XPS 13 with its Xfinity display is really mind-blowing when it comes to looks. The body is made out of machined aluminum, with a carbon fiber palm rest and a glass trackpad. XPS 13 is Powered by 5th Gen Intel Core i5 processor. One of its highlights is its battery backup. The XPS 13 is one of the few Windows-powered laptops that can last for more than 10 hours between charges. All these features make it one of the best laptop currently available in the country.

2. Asus Zenbook UX310UA:

Second on the list is Asus ZenBook UX310UA. The best all-rounder laptop that punches above its weight. This a laptop which give an almost same performance as that of Dell XPS 13 with a near about similar price. You can expect an all-aluminum frame and fantastic performance from a 7th-generation Kaby Lake processor – whether that’s of the i3 or i5 variety is entirely up to you. The only problem is that it doesn’t look that appealing. And battery Performance is just above average. No matter what model you go for, the Asus ZenBook UX310UA is one of the best laptops you can buy.

3. Lenovo Yoga Book:

If you are looking for a wonderfully versatile and cheap laptop then in the third place we have Lenovo Yoga Book 2017. It is a 2-in-1 device like all Yoga devices as you can use it as both laptop and tablet. One of the unique add-ons you will find is you can buy it with either Windows 10 or Android 6.0 onboard. This is a great option if you want something cheap for basic computing tasks. The Intel Atom CPU in this thing is great at saving power and making the battery last for ages but not so good at super speedy processing.

4. Apple MacBook Pro with Touch Bar:

The best MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is in the top 5 in the list on 10. If you are an Apple fan and want to go for an Apple laptop then we suggest you to the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. The main feature of the laptop appears to be it’s Touch Bar – it’s a thin OLED display at the top of the keyboard. Which can be used for any number of things. Whether that be auto-suggesting words as you type or offering Touch ID so you can log in with just your fingerprint. This is a great laptop but still has some problems. it’s not as powerful, the screen is lower-res versus the competition and isn’t touchscreen friendly, plus the battery is a bit disappointing, too.
