While smartphones and tablets have taken the world by storm, they have not at all replaced laptops when it comes to portable computing power. Especially helpful for business folks who need to work on the road, their advances have been a bit overshadowed by their smaller counterparts. That doesn't mean we should not get excited about what's coming, because when you take a closer look you'll see there is some pretty neat stuff on the way. So if you are thinking about moving on from your old laptop and into something new, you're in luck. Of course, if you are in the market we cannot tell you which one to buy, as that choice is entirely up to you. But read on and you'll see six new models that will arrive this year and who knows, One may be just right. When you really think about it, the distance we have traveled with portable computers is quite remarkable.
The first laptops were pretty sizeable and fairly weak, and today's are the opposite of both. More than that, many of today's portable devices double as both laptops and tablets. The MacBook has been one of the most popular laptops of all time, with the Air model taking things to another level. Great for people who are on the go and need something powerful in a light-weight package, it is finally getting a much-deserved and needed update. The newest model is expected to not only be less expensive, but faster, too. The processor should get a bump from the 1.8 GHz or 2.2 GHz models that are currently available. It is also likely to receive an LCD display, which will give it all a nice look. Besides the updates, the computer should maintain the qualities that make the MacBook one of the more desired portable computers. A 2-in-1 device, the HP Spectre x360 comes in with a 15.6-inch screen that, while noticeable, barely scratches the surface in terms of what makes this a worthy purchase.
The first laptop to have the 8th-generation Core i7-8705G processor, (with its up to 4.1 GHz, 8MB cache and 4 cores), it also boasts a Radeon RX Vega M Graphics card for its 4K UHD touchscreen display. The touchscreen display is part of what makes this an excellent choice, and at just 4.59 pounds, it is not at all difficult to take with you wherever you go. Unveiled at Computex, the Asus ZenBook Pro 15 is different in that it has a 5.5-inch touchscreen in the place where you would normally find a touchpad. It is being billed as "the world's first smart touchpad," and with a 1080p display it may very well be. What does that mean, Well, along with the normal screen, the touchscreen can be used to select apps, as a calculator or display other things such as music and video playback that would otherwise go on the main monitor. For those who care about a computer's performance, the ZenBook is fine there, too.
It offers a choice of a Core i5, i7 and even a six-core 8th-generation Core i9 processor, comes with 16GB or RAM and can come with a GeFOrce GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB of RAM for graphics. Competing with the MacBook Air for the portability market, the Huawei MateBook X Pro has a 91-percent screen-to-body ratio, meaning it has a nearly borderless display with a 3000 x 2000 resolution. It is the first of its kind to offer such a screen, one that is designed to be comfortable and safe to look at for extended periods of time. Along with its nice display, however, the MateBook X Pro has a 10-point touchscreen and is powered by an 8th generation Intel Core processor with a NVIDA GeForce MX150 GPU with 2GB GDDR5. Powerful and lightweight, its battery is rated to provide 12 hours of 1080P video playback, 14 hours of regular work or 15 hours of web browsing.
