Abstract: If you're looking for a Windows laptop that looks like a MacBook Air, you've come to the right place. These systems are fast and full-featured, yet slim, light, and generally long on battery life. A few even sport solid-state drives, and some offer a...

The case has been slightly modified, in particular in the field of ports (2 USB 3.0s + powered USB 2.0). However, it makes an otherwise very similar, positive impression in terms of looks and stability. Merely the somewhat weak display hinge in our test d...
Abstract: The Dell Vostro V131 has a sturdy chassis in terms of both look and feel thanks to the magnesium alloy and anodized aluminum body. Because of this, it is a little heavier than other 13-inch notebooks at around 4.1-pounds, but in our eyes the added hef...
