10 Best MacBook Replacements

A good laptop, whose display has a good margin of backlight brightness and Full HD resolution. It is powered by an entry-level chip from Intel. It has only two cores, but their power is very high. If such a laptop still cannot cope with video editing, then solving less complex tasks will definitely not be a problem for it. Especially if you increase the amount of RAM in the future.

This model was not released yesterday, so you should not expect the latest wireless modules here.Unfortunately, the computer is limited to Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.1 standards. Yes, and its connectors are also only half-speed - two ports of the second version are added here to USB Type-C and USB 3.2. It is interesting that the manufacturer was generous with a card reader, sharpened for the microSD format. A trifle, but nice.

This laptop can not be called ultra-light. But on the other hand, he got at his disposal a large display, which is able to boast not only excellent resolution, but also a high refresh rate. And it is installed not for show. The powerful processor from AMD is really capable of running applications and games, rendering up to 120 frames every second. If you are most interested in network projects, then there will be no problems - the analogue of the MacBook Pro connects to the router via a Wi-Fi 802.11ax network. And the sound is transmitted to the headphones via the energy-efficient Bluetooth 5.1 standard. Everything is in order here and with the connectors. Although the second USB Type-C still would not hurt.

Another interesting feature of the laptop is its SSD.It holds 1 TB of information! It is possible that it was because of this that the laptop turned out to be not as affordable as we would like. And this is with the operating system missing here! The manufacturer saved on it. But there is nothing to worry about, since installing it yourself should not seem like an impossible task.

One of the lightest laptops in our selection. And it's also a rare case when a laptop costs significantly less than a MacBook, but it still has a touch screen. So that it is not covered with fingerprints, the manufacturer has supplied the kit with a stylus. As a result, the computer should appeal to artists and designers. Such people will no longer need a graphics tablet! The laptop itself can turn into its analogue - to do this, just expand the screen and place it above the keyboard.

It should be noted that the Taiwanese manufacturer had to save money. Therefore, he placed not the most powerful processor under the metal case. There is no discrete video card here at all, you will have to be content with the graphics built into the chip. And here there is not a record amount of memory. However, this problem in the future can be solved by upgrading.As for the means of communication, the laptop received support for Wi-Fi 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.0. The number of slots is small. But among them even a slot for a microSD memory card has been tucked in, which cannot but rejoice.

Don't want to constantly fiddle with connecting an external hard drive? At the same time, you want to get at your disposal a very light laptop? It looks like you need to consider buying a laptop from DELL. Beneath its thin metal casing is an SSD drive that can hold up to 1TB of storage. It is connected to the M.2 connector, and it can be replaced at any time. But it is unlikely that you will want to do such an upgrade in the coming years.

This model has another feature. It consists in the presence of a discrete video card. Yes, it's just NVIDIA GeForce MX330, supplemented with a couple of gigabytes of video memory. But even its capabilities are enough for editing videos (especially if they are shot in Full HD resolution). In games, this graphics adapter also performs quite well. In a word, its presence greatly expands the arsenal of possibilities. The laptop also received three USB connectors, and all of them are high-speed.If you don't like 802.11ac Wi-Fi support, you can use the Ethernet port. Not forgotten here and HDMI output. The manufacturer also introduced a slot for a microSD memory card.

Many buyers write in their reviews that this is a great workhorse. Indeed, the laptop allows you to cope with most of the tasks assigned to it. It is endowed with a good processor, consisting of six computing cores. The lack of RAM almost never occurs. Even the solid state drive turned out to be very roomy. The manufacturer has also been generous with the fingerprint scanner, thereby protecting your personal data.

By default, the laptop comes without an operating system. It will have to be installed by yourself. But this is the only serious drawback of this model. If we talk about wireless modules, then they can only be praised - support for Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11ax is implemented here. The set of connectors did not let us down either, which includes two full-sized USB 3.2 and the same number of no less high-speed USB Type-C. The manufacturer has not even forgotten about the SD card slot. Pleases buyers and battery life.

A good work laptop designed to solve simple tasks. Its processor is not capable of boasting a record computing power. But on the other hand, the laptop is ready to receive and transmit data at a very high speed, using the Wi-Fi 802.11ax standard for this. The laptop also includes 8 GB of RAM. This volume can be increased in the future. As for permanent memory, the buyer is offered a 256-gigabyte SSD. Not impressive. However, no one bothers to use an external hard drive by connecting it to one of the two USB 3.0 ports available here. Or to no less high-speed USB Type-C. Not forgotten here is the slow USB 2.0, which is needed mainly for all kinds of peripherals.

This analogue of the MacBook turned out to be about the same small. Therefore, it only has a 14-inch screen at its disposal. If this seems not enough, then you can display the picture on any monitor or TV using the HDMI output. You can also praise the manufacturer for the fact that he managed to achieve a very small weight. Also, buyers note in their reviews the presence of a card reader, albeit sharpened only for tiny microSD memory cards.

This laptop suffers from the usual shortcomings of a mediocre webcam and mediocre sound quality. But otherwise, the ultrabook deserves only praise. The manufacturer managed to reduce the thickness to 18.2 mm. And the laptop turned out to be quite light. In this regard, it can be compared with the MacBook Pro. The only pity is that he is not able to work on a full charge for as long - you can count on a maximum of 8 hours.

Basically, people praise the creation of the Chinese company HONOR for high-speed wireless modules. Does your router not support 802.11ax Wi-Fi yet? And this laptop already understands it! He is also ready to boast of the fifth version of the "blue tooth", which has a decent range and high energy efficiency. If you are interested in a wired connection, then there was a place on the case for three full-size USB 3.2, one USB 2.0 and one USB Type-C. The output of the picture on the monitor is carried out via the HDMI socket. However, the vast majority of buyers have enough built-in 16-inch display.

A very large laptop, which turned out to be very thin at the same time. And how narrow is the screen bezel! The bezel is barely 4.9mm wide! In this regard, the laptop is very close to modern smartphones, in which the display most often turns out to be completely frameless. Nothing bad can be said about the screen itself. Of course, I would like to see the picture here in even higher resolution. But then the manufacturer would have to install a more powerful processor, and this would inevitably affect the cost.

Usually Windows laptops suffer from lack of RAM. Here is not the case. 16 GB allows you to work in Adobe Premiere Pro, and in less demanding programs. If you use an analogue of the MacBook for these purposes, then you will not complain about the capacity of the solid state drive. Heavy files can be stored on an external hard drive - high-speed connectors allow you to access them without much delay.

Outwardly, it is almost a copy of the MacBook. This laptop is also thin and light. Not least due to the fact that the diagonal of its screen is reduced to 14 inches. It also uses a silver-colored metal case. Under it are 8 GB of RAM. A little. But it’s not even its volume that saddens, but the frequency of operation, which is not able to exceed 2666 MHz. The buyer will have to limit himself in the connectors - HDMI, two USB 3.0 pieces and one USB 2.0 port are located at the ends. It seems that all the money the manufacturer has invested in the video card NVIDIA GeForce MX250, which has 2 GB of GDDR5 video memory. With it, the solution of some professional tasks becomes faster. She will also let you play.

By default, DOS is installed on this computer. However, any buyer will be able to find Windows for himself - now this is not a problem. I am glad that the laptop received a fingerprint scanner. Protecting personal data is never superfluous! To interact with the router, the Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard is used. There is also support for Bluetooth 5.0.

This laptop is by no means a professional laptop. Yes, it is thin and light. But you can only carry it with you to work if you are typing. The fact is that in order to reduce the cost, the Chinese manufacturer equipped his creation with modest components. As a result, the laptop is not the best way to cope with complex tasks. If your work involves video editing or something similar, then you should look for a more powerful laptop.

Most often, this computer is in the hands of schoolchildren and students. They will really appreciate the laptop. Like it or not, but he got a comfortable keyboard. And the screen does not cause any particular complaints. And look at its frame, how narrow it turned out! Pleasant emotions are also caused by the metal case. By the way, there is a fingerprint scanner here, so an attacker will definitely not get access to your personal files.
