Score: 72/100Rankings
The HP 15.6" Business Laptop pairs a 13th-gen i3 CPU, 32 GB RAM and a Full HD IPS screen, targeting students and small-business users who need solid productivity and connectivity. Its bulk, integrated graphics and modest webcam keep it from premium tiers.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina delivers a sharp display and solid performance, but its non-upgradable internals and limited ports keep it from feeling future-proof.
