The target audience of the laptop is business users who are not averse to flashing non-standard solutions in front of each other.

- new design;
- new connectors;
- new controls in the form of a touch panel-screen Touch Bar and a fingerprint scanner;
- and, of course, a new filling with higher performance.
New solutions give the MacBook Pro a touch of experimentation, which is not always pleasant for the average buyer - it’s hard to get used to innovation and it is not known whether they will like it. Moreover, the MacBook Pro is the most expensive notebook of the rating.
6. HP Specter x360

The updated model of a kind of hybrid laptop and tablet, now even more productive.
Distinctive features:

- And the ability to turn it into a tablet with a flick of the wrist gives an excellent opportunity to show off in front of friends (or comfortably watch a video / surf during the trip).
Of the minuses: low backlight and glare of the screen in bright light.
5. Microsoft Surface Book
Average price: 110 000 rubles.
Microsoft also decided not to rest on its laurels, but continued to work on improving its first hybrid laptop. Now she has acquired a new cooling system, a more efficient GTX 965M graphics card, a sixth generation Intel Core i7 processor and a more capacious battery.
Pros remain the same:
- very comfortable keyboard, touchscreen and pen;
- the ability to connect to the Dock-station;
- Nice-looking high-resolution screen.
Minus: the software is clearly done without relying on Russian realities (for example, news applications show foreign news, although in Russian).
4. Acer Aspire S13-S5-371
Average price: 59 000 rubles.
Although separately Acer Aspire S13 does not reach special heights, but in terms of combination of characteristics, this is one of the best laptops of 2017. Is he:
- quite productive (Intel Core i7 6500U, 8 GB of RAM);
- with an excellent display (13.3 inches, Full HD resolution);
- long battery life;
- and all this wealth is packed in a thin and light body.
Minus: heats up under heavy loads and is not suitable for serious games.
3. ASUS Chromebook Flip
Average price: 19 000 rubles.
A Chromebook (a laptop based on Chrome OS from Google) is a popular solution in Western Europe and North America, however, we rarely see it in Russia. But in vain:
- they are small;
- lungs;
- sufficiently productive for domestic tasks;
- very convenient for work / school / watch video in transport.
And at the same time one of the cheapest laptops on the market. A feature of the Chromebook from ASUS is a metal case, which distinguishes it from the crowd of the same type of plastic brothers, as well as a touch screen.
2. ASUS Zenbook UX305
Average price: 47 000 rubles.
It is so thin and light that it’s even scary (but the lid is tough enough to keep the delicate contents safe and sound).
Working on a beautiful, high-quality keyboard is a pleasure:
- a good screen adequately reproduces colors;
- has excellent viewing angles;
- does not glare;
- the cooling system is practically no noise.
Of course, it will not be suitable for games, but it will perform 100% of work and training tasks.
1. DELL XPS 13
Average price: 100 000 rubles.
The best laptop of 2017 according to experts at the same time one of the most expensive in its class.
- Its distinguishing feature is very thin and almost invisible frames around the screen.
- A comfortable backlit keyboard with two brightness levels, a chic clickpad, a beautiful 13.3-inch touch screen and a resolution of 3200 × 1800 (there is a smaller one, but this has almost no effect on the price) located on the sides of the speaker case with deep sound.
- With all this, the laptop is very productive for its price category and with a superbly working SSD.
The only negative is the non-standard position of the camera in the lower left corner of the display. Thanks to this, the video interlocutor will see you at an original angle, adding ten years or a kilogram to you.
