| Bottom line | A solid, if predictable, upgrade to the MacBook Pro line, but noteworthy for stealing the
MacBook Air's best feature--expanded gesture controls for the touch pad. | While it's not going to dazzle anyone, the Toshiba Satellite U845T is a great example of exactly how much laptop $799 should buy in 2013. | Apple keeps the latest
MacBook Air updates on the inside, but greatly improved battery life and a lower starting price make up for a lack of flashy design changes. | While the 13-inch MacBook Pro remains a well-built laptop, it's fallen behind the
MacBook Air and Retina Display MacBook Pro in design, lacks higher-end upgrades, and feels too expensive compared with the competition. |
