| | Why? Because it's nothing short of an engineering marvel — the Dell XPS 13 is the thinnest, smallest 13-inch laptop on the market. Its 13-inch display is built into a chassis the size of a system two inches smaller, so it's about the same footprint as the 11-inch MacBook Air. Equipped with an Intel Core i5 CPU and a 128GB solid state drive, the XPS 13 is fast and powerful enough to handle school work, office work, or plain old busy work— and will last long enough to finish all of those tasks thanks to an internal battery that packed 12 hours of juice during our testing. At a starting price of $799, the Dell XPS 13 is a tough laptop to beat. But if you're curious, we've got 8 other machines that come very, very close. You can find them all on our continuously updated list of The Best Laptops 2015.  | | | |

|  | | |  | Sad but true, traditional laptop bags aren't very attractive. Drab blacks, corporate-drone design, dull silhouettes -- you'll find none of those lackluster options on our list of eye-catching, fashionable shoulder bags for style-conscious professionalistas. | | | |  | To take advantage of the new MacBook (and its solo USB-C port), you'll need to outfit yourself with a stable of new cables, adapters and accessories. Thankfully, we've got the first batch of cables and accessories that you can get now. | | | | | | |

|  | | |  | | | The Kirabook's battery will get you through a full day of work (and then some). Toshiba's notebook endured an impressive 9 hours and 7 minutes of continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi on our battery test, lasting longer than the XPS 13 (7:24), the ATIV Book 9 (7:54) and the 7:58 average battery life for Ultrabooks. If you're looking for top-notch Windows performance within a sexy package (one that rivals even the MacBook Pro), this sub-3-pound system is for you. Just be wary of the dim 2560 x 1440p display; its got plenty of pixels but it needs more nits. | | | | | |
