5 Best Alternatives To MacBook Pro (2024)

How do you replace your laptop when it dies? If you’re looking to save money, your best bet might be to buy a second-hand laptop instead of spending hundreds on an expensive brand new model.

Alternatives To MacBook Pro

The most popular choice is Apple laptops, including the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. However, there are plenty of other options available out there – we took the time to find 5 other good alternatives to MacBook Pro that won’t break the bank!

1. Lenovo Yoga 720

This hybrid laptop comes in 15-inch and convertible variants and is part of Lenovo’s Yoga line. It sports a 7th generation Intel Core i7 processor and a 4K UHD display. A discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card provides powerful gaming or video editing visuals. Two fans on either side keep everything cool, even during intense use.

The Yoga 720 has a 360-degree hinge that turns it into a tablet for drawing and painting, and viewing videos on its screen without getting your hands dirty (er, oily). It weighs 5 pounds with its touchscreen, so you can carry it around in your backpack or tote bag when not working at home or work.

2. Microsoft Surface Laptop 2

If you’re looking for an affordable alternative to a MacBook, Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 2 is one of your best bets. It comes in 13-inch and 15-inch variants like Apple’s computer and boasts a slim design with rounded edges. While it won’t win any awards for design like its MacBook counterpart, it’ll still make you look good.

In fact, some people might even mistake it for a real MacBook if they don’t look too closely (and you can always add a skin). But when compared side by side with its main competitor, some key differences may sway your decision. The Surface Laptop 2 costs $1,149 for its highest configuration—an expensive jump from $999.

3. Dell XPS 13 9370

The Dell XPS 13 9370 is a few laptop with a solid-state drive (SSD) and a high-resolution OLED display. It’s easy to use, powerful, and has an impressive battery life—up to 19 hours on a single charge!

And with Dell’s hardware reliability record, you can trust it will last for years to come. Another thing that stands out about Dell XPS 13 9370 is its build quality—the aluminum case feels sturdy, not flimsy like some other laptops in its price range. All told, it’s a great laptop for both works and plays!

4. Apple MacBook Air 2022

The MacBook Air is by far my favorite laptop, but there are several valid reasons to consider switching. It’s great for general usage; it can be a great laptop if you don’t need a lot of power.

I’d recommend getting it in a 13-screen size because there isn’t any reason to get anything bigger. Apple’s MacBook Air gives you several options: The 13-inch version has 128GB or 256GB SSD storage with an Intel 1.8GHz dual-core i5 processor, while the 11-inch model comes with 8GB RAM and 64GB flash storage and 2GHz dual-core i7 processor.

5. Samsung Notebook 9 Pen

Samsung’s Notebook 9 Pen is a surprisingly powerful computer similar to a MacBook Air. The Notebook 9 Pen is one of many laptops with OLED screens, a feature that’s becoming increasingly common among newer Windows laptops.

At 0.3 inches thick and just over 2 pounds, it isn’t quite as thin or light as Apple’s computers—but it doesn’t skimp on power or ports. It even has a touchscreen, unlike its more traditional competition, and in addition to 128GB of storage, it comes with 1TB of cloud storage for three years.

Compared to other brands in its category, such as Dell XPS 15, Razer Blade, and more, you will love all it offers while not breaking your bank either! Title: 5 Best MacBook Pro Alternative For Your Needs Summary: One would need to consider various aspects when buying a computer today.
