Most ultraportables we test are dumbed-down MacBook Air clones with cheap construction and low-grade components. That’s why it makes a particularly refreshing change to find a Windows laptop that not just matches but surpasses Apple’s popular ultraportable in a key area like screen quality. The price is much higher than even the Retina-display 13-inch MacBook but if you must have a laptop built for Windows that can make a statement in build quality and top-class components, check out EliteBook Folio 1040 G1.
