| Bottom line | The first big high-design laptop of 2012, the
HP Envy 14 Spectre is a bold experiment that largely succeeds, if you're willing to pay a premium for it. | A high-end laptop at a mainstream price, the
HP Envy Spectre XT gets much of the look and feel right, with only a few missteps. | The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a convertible touch-screen laptop/tablet that most importantly doesn't compromise the traditional laptop experience. | 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. |
