MARCH 2022 T3 87

Best of the best

Apple’s cheapest

laptop is a revolution.

Think thin and light

laptops have to

sacrifice power? Not

any more. This is the

best of all worlds,

with an eight-core M1

CPU as powerful as

those in gaming PCs.

£999, apple.com

MACBOOK PRO (M1) 2021

Available as a 14-inch

or 16-inch laptop,

with either the M1

Pro or M1 Max chip,

Macbook Pros offer

top-level performance

and yet hugely

impressive battery

life. The very best

Apple has to offer.

From £1,899, apple.com

DELL XPS 13 (9310)

The Dell XPS 13

is thinner and more

powerful than ever.

Up to 1TB of SSD

storage, 16GB of

RAM, a 4K screen

generation Intel chips

help make it a top-

quality all-rounder.

£1,194, dell.com

ASUS VIVOBOOK S15

This slim and super

light laptop hits a

wonderful sweet

spot. With an Intel

RAM, a 256GB SSD

and a touchscreen

ScreenPad, it

represents wonderful

mid-range value.

£899, asus.com

ASUS ZENBOOK FLIP 13

The Zenbook Flip

13 might be the best

laptop Asus has ever

released. Tooled up

with an eighth-gen

Intel Core processor,

the tablet mode feels

great to use, thanks

to a responsive

touchscreen.

£800, asus.com

LENOVO YOGA 9I 14

Not just stylish, but

with substance too.

This is a speedy piece

of kit that is sure

to cope with pretty

much everything you

could throw at it. The

only real downside is

that the battery life is

fairly average.

From £999, lenovo.com

HP ELITE DRAGONFLY G2

A seriously impressive

laptop – it’s faster,

more premium and

even nicer to use than

the first generation of

the PC, the HP Elite

Dragonfly, and that’s

saying something.

Versatile and

transportable.

£2,630, hp.com

MICROSOFT SURFACE BOOK 3

Pull the screen away

from the keyboard

and it’s a tablet.

Connect them

for more graphics

power and battery

life. A premium,

fantastically portable,

and supremely

versatile system.

£1,439, microsoft.com

APPLE iPAD AIR (2020)

Technically the iPad

Air 4, but more

like the latest iPad

Pro with some of

the ‘pro’ features

removed. Apple Pencil

2 support is here,

though, and there’s a

smart connector for

a keyboard too.

From £479, apple.com

APPLE iPAD MINI (2021)

A little powerhouse

of a tablet and a

fantastic creativity

machine, packing in

an incredibly fast

Apple A15 processor

that makes it the

most powerful iPad

outside of the Pros,

remarkably.

From £479, apple.com

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S5E

This is Samsung’s

newest tablet, and

if your needs aren’t

that demanding and

you want a well-built

Android tablet with

an excellent screen,

it definitely stands

out as one of the best

tablets of 2021.

From £319, samsung.com

APPLE iPAD 10.2 (2021)

The cheapest full-

size Apple tablet

has evolved in some

really useful ways.

The storage options

have been increased

to 64GB or 256GB,

while the processor

has been boosted to

the zippy A13 Bionic.
