CNET has highlighted a new favorite Windows laptop, suggesting that while the MacBook Air remains a top choice, there are now strong contenders in the Windows market.

WIRED has noted a trend where the competition between MacBooks and Windows laptops is intensifying, with a wide range of options catering to different needs.

The publication has tested dozens of Windows laptops this year and has been reviewing laptops for over a decade, affirming the growing variety and quality of Windows devices.

According to WIRED, the choice between a MacBook and a Windows laptop now depends on specific requirements, such as software compatibility or hardware variety, with numerous excellent options available for each.

For those interested in exploring further, WIRED recommends checking out their Best 2-in-1 Laptops, Best Gaming Laptops, and Best Budget Laptops guides, as well as their overall Best Laptops guide which includes the Best Chromebooks and Best MacBooks.

The editors at WIRED have also awarded three laptops an Editors’ Choice award in recent months, starting with the MacBook Neo in March, indicating a high level of satisfaction with certain Windows models.
