| Choosing between Mac and Windows isn't easy, and it's even harder when you're deciding between two of the most striking ultraportable laptops on earth. With the new 12-inch MacBook (starting at $1,299), Apple has created a fantastically light notebook with a vibrant Retina display and an all-new keyboard and touchpad. In the Windows-powered Dell XPS 13 (starting at $799, $1,299 as tested), you get a quad-HD, 13-inch touch display in a 11-inch laptop's body — thanks to a crazy-thin bezel — and a fast Core i5 CPU. We put these minimalist marvels through 10 rounds of battle to crown a winner, and the XPS 13 came out on top.  |

| | As the successor to the ThinkPad Yoga, the ThinkPad Yoga 12 continues to combine a sturdy and comfortable ultraportable business notebook with a tablet screen, creating a versatile 2-in-1 device. Built around an excellent hinge, the ThinkPad Yoga 12 (starting at $845, or $1,484 as configured) supports four usage modes for its 12.5-inch display, offers an optional stylus and now packs Intel's 5th Generation Core processor for more speed.
