Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch
Score: 78/100
HP Rose Gold Ultrabook
Score: 66/100Rankings
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.
The HP Rose Gold Ultrabook offers a stylish, lightweight chassis, long battery life and bundled Office 365, but its low-resolution screen, modest Celeron CPU and limited internal storage keep it in the budget-productivity segment.
