Apple has “Unleashed” the MacBook Pro 2021 in an all-new 14-inch and 16-inch models starting at $1,999 and $2,499 respectively. The new MacBook Pros arrive with a flat-edge design; this replaces the curves to bring the MacBook Pro in the design language similar to the iPhone 13 launched in September. A striking change on the MacBook Pro display is the presence of a notch. While the redesign of the laptop was on the cards; there was no information regarding this surprising notch inclusion, which makes the MacBook Pro just identical to the recent iPhones. The display is further beefed up on the MacBook Pro with mini-LED panel boasting 120Hz refresh rate, thanks to the ProMotion technology. These laptops on the inside are powered with the state-of-the-art M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. The refreshed in-house processors are the biggest takeaways from the new MacBook Pros. These come with a greater core count and enhanced graphics performance. The ports on the MacBook Pro through the years have been a letdown, which Apple has taken note of and has included more variety of ports this time. It now comes with an HDMI, Thunderbolt 4, SD card slot and supports MagSafe charging. Arguably, with the given features, the MacBook Pro 14-inch is perhaps the best handy laptop on the market right now but the $2,000 tag – it starts at – is not for everyone to digest. If you’re in the market for the best option for browsing, productivity and some gaming, there are many Windows laptops you can explore. When choosing the best laptop from the others, a good blend of portability, power and efficiency is a must. But in addition to these, the price is also a point of contention for many users. Comprising a blend of it all, below are some laptops with better value than MacBook Pro 2021 that should suit creators, business users and students demanding power from their machines. Dell XPS 13 is a direct competitor to the MacBook Pro 2021. It comes in 13-inch and 15-inch models with near bezel-less InfinityEdge LCD touchscreen and an attractive design. Powered by Intel’s latest and greatest Core-i3, i5, and i7 processors, the XPS 13 arrives with 8GB to 32GB of RAM and offers a selection of SSD storage – starting at 256GB capacity. Intel Iris Xe Graphics drives the display which comes in InfinityEdge OLED option as well – offering richer colors and better contrast – but for a $300 premium from the standard model. The very durable Dell XPS 13 features CNC machined aluminum chassis with choice of either carbon fiber or frost-finish palm rest.
