If an arresting Ultrabook housing

2-in-1 functionality and a ton of

power satisfies what you’re looking

for, it’s hard to find a better laptop

than the HP Spectre x360. This slim

and light Ultrabook isn’t just filled

with the latest Intel Whiskey Lake

processors and plenty of RAM. It

also might just be the most exquisite

laptop you can buy today. The HP

Spectre x360 won’t just get you

through your workload, but will

also make you smart and stylish in

the process.

5 Surface Laptop 2

£1,000, http://www.microsoft.com

The original Microsoft Surface Laptop

was a great Ultrabook, but had relatively

weak internals and Windows 10 S.

Fortunately, Microsoft rolled out the

Surface Laptop 2 in late 2018, offering

quad-core processors and the full-fat

version of Windows 10. It’s through

these fundamental improvements that

the Surface Laptop 2 is able to bring the

purest Windows 10 experience to a

laptop – not to mention, join the ranks

of the best Ultrabooks available right

now – at a price that won’t make you

run in the opposite direction.
