Apple MacBook Pro 2015 13-inch
Score: 69/100
Lenovo Ideapad
Score: 55/100Rankings
The 13.3-inch MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) delivers a stunning Retina screen, solid build quality, and fast SSD performance, but its aging dual-core i5, limited ports and non-upgradeable components make it less competitive in 2026.
The 2022 Ideapad 3 is a budget-friendly 15.6" HD touchscreen laptop with an i3-1115G4 processor, 8 GB RAM and a fast 256 GB SSD. It offers solid everyday performance and good connectivity, but its low-resolution display, modest battery life and basic build limit its appeal for demanding tasks.
