2017 has been a great year for ASUS, Dell and HP as they have released a batch of superb laptops. These laptops have shown the Apple ecosystem that Windows can manufacture superior laptops, too. In fact, these laptops were praised for their beautiful designs, long battery life and budget-friendly prices so much that they have surpassed Apple's feeble Macbooks with insane price tags. The seven Windows laptops below give you the best bang for your buck and beat Apple's Macbooks.

1. ASUS Zenbook 3 Deluxe

The ASUS Zenbook 3 Deluxe is the best Windows alternative to the 2016 Macbook Pro 2016. It is beautifully designed in a sleek aerospace grade aluminum with a 14-inch screen fitted in a 13-inch profile. A perfect fit for any backpack!

2. HP Spectre x360

The HP Spectre x360 has been refreshed this year by HP and is a beautifully designed convertible. It comes with an all new design encompassing miniature bezels, a lighter design, smaller form, Thunderbolt support and the new HP logo. With more than 10 hours of battery life, this baby will last you all day!

3. Dell XPS 13

Dell has finally proven itself worthy as competition with its XPS 13. It was declared the best laptop of 2016 and still continues to reign in the top 10. This laptop comes with a special infinity bezel and the smallest profile you have ever seen. The non-touch variant has an astounding 14-hour battery life!

4. ASUS Zenbook 3

This laptop is the little brother of the Zenbook 3 Deluxe in a smaller 12.5-inch frame for those who love portability.

5. ASUS Zenbook Pro

The new 2017 ASUS Zenbook Pro features the latest Kaby Lake 7th Generation i7 processor along with a powerful Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. It is also fitted with a 15.6 inch 4K UHD touch panel and four booming speakers. This laptop is perfect for powerhouse users who are constantly multitasking. It weighs about 3.9 lbs and is 1.89 centimeters thick.

6. Microsoft Surface Book

This was Microsoft's entry into the laptop world. They experimented by creating the surface book, which was a 13.5-inch laptop that can detach itself into a tablet and keyboard dock. Although it is slightly on the expensive side, anyone looking for style, portability and power should buy this!

7. Razer Blade Stealth

Razer is prized for their sturdy, high-quality gaming laptops. Their Razor Blade Stealth is the perfect laptop for those who love portability and want a Windows Macbook.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
