| Bottom line | Apple slightly revamps its basic MacBook with improvements under the hood, but keeps the design and price the same, which makes the new MacBook tough to beat as a back-to-school laptop. | 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. | This year's
MacBook Air opts for gradual improvements rather than anything revolutionary, but lowered prices continue to make it the go-to mainstream recommendation for any MacBook owner-to-be. | 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. | The newly redesigned MacBook Pro with Retina Display combines an amazing screen with just enough of the
MacBook Air design to feel like a new animal, and to take its place as the best of the current MacBook breed. |
