Review Acer Aspire S7-392-6411

By Joel Santo Domingo, The Acer Aspire S7-392-6411 ($1,449.99) is half an inch thick and worth every penny you pay for it. It is a premium high-end ultrabook that adds performance and battery life to one of the thinnest laptops we've ever reviewed at PCMag.com. It's got a bright, clear 1080p HD display, instant wake from sleep, 10-point touch screen, and looks nice from the moment you pull it out of your commute bag to the second you put it away for the day. It's got eight and a half hours of battery life along with high end performance thanks to a 4th generation Intel Core processor, plus durable and quick SSD storage. It's one of the best examples of what the corporate system builders can come up with when Intel pushes harder and more stringent standards for its ultrabook initiative, and therefore is our newest high-end ultrabook Editors' Choice.

Review Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (2013)

The new MacBook Pro 15-inch looks identical to the previous Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Retina Display), and it's no wonder, since last year's model was a new design. The 2013 model has the same aluminum and glass construction, the same 15.4-inch, 2,880-by-1,800 resolution IPS display, and the same chiclet-style backlit keyboard. The MacBook Pro 15-inch has a pair of speaker grills flanking the keyboard. Aesthetically, it is a more balanced design, though number crunchers may miss not having a keypad for spreadsheet data entry. The sides of the chassis are vented to let air flow through the base of the laptop, cooling the processor and batteries. The large multi-touch trackpad is centrally located and responds instantly to commands. The keyboard is as comfortable to type on as previous models, is solid, and is evenly backlit.
