Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch
Score: 78/100Chuwi CoreBook X 14-inch
Score: 80/100Rankings
The CHUWI CoreBook X offers a premium-look aluminum build, a sharp QHD display and upgradable memory at a budget price, but suffers from weak Wi-Fi, modest battery life and an under-performing trackpad.
The 2013 13.3-inch MacBook Pro offers a stunning Retina display, solid performance and good battery life in a lightweight chassis, but its non-upgradable memory, modest graphics and aging OS support limit its appeal today.
