| Bottom line | The business-oriented Lenovo ThinkPad X1 has a few quirks, but is otherwise a very impressive business-oriented ultrabook with strong crossover potential. | 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. | 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. |
