Our pick for the best laptop overall is the Dell XPS 13, which packs speedy performance and a gorgeous bezel-less display into an incredibly slim and lightweight design with long battery life. 

If Mac is more your thing, the new MacBook Air 2020 is our recommendation for the best MacBook for most people (even more than previously so). That being said, we see a possible huge year for Apple on the horizon. The rumors for the MacBook Pro 2021 and MacBook Air 2021 could bring the best of the original Retina MacBook Pro back, and drop the Touch Bar too.
