Best MacBook Competitor

Macbook has a nice design with a lot of great features, but is still an expensive laptop and not all the programs and the applications work on it. We know that comes with state-of-the-art technology, great battery life, multi-touch trackpad and nice uniboby closure, but if you want to try a MacBook competitor, you should try HP TouchSmart.



In our opinion this is the best MacBook competitor because is looks better than MacBoook and it has a lower starting price at $899.99. HP TouchSmart is more than just a simple laptop because it is also a tablet PC. The laptop lets you twist the screen, so you can write on it with a digital pen and comes with exclusive TouchSmart software that lets you interact in a better way with it.

This laptop, even if has a display of only 12.1 – inch, is loaded with great features like the fact that is runs on Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium and it comes with a sophisticated and nice aluminum chassis. The display comes with integrated touch screen feature which makes it easy to draw or write. This is a laptop designed for mobility and it is very easy to use: you can navigate with your fingers on the screen, you can control objects, make selections and scroll web pages which means that the screen supports finger gestures. With this nice feature you can play touch games and you can also experience other web applications like Netflix and Twitter in a better way.

If you like this laptop, you should know that you have a lot of choices when it comes to graphics, memory, processor and hard drive. As we said above, the lowest price for this laptop is S899.99 which means that it is less than MacBook that has a starting price of $999.99. The best processor you can choose is an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz and 512 MB ATI Mobility Radeon Graphics. The processor is not as powerful as the processors you find available for MacBook, but if we thing about the price this is good enough. You can choose the internal memory between 3GB DDR3, 4GB DDR3 and 8GB DDR3 and you can also choose the storage capacity from 320 GB and 500 GB. The laptop comes with a built-in camera, Bluetooth and wireless technology.

The battery life for this laptop is up to 9.75 hours, we didn’t test it, but this is the time that the manufacturer says. We don’t know if this is true, but we do know that a MacBook doesn’t run 7 hours on a single charge if you do the basic stuff like chatting, web browsing or just typing. This is in our opinion the best MacBook competitor and if you don’t share it, please tell us because there could be a lot of other great laptops on the market which can compete with MacBook.
