While our year old MacBook still offers 8-10 hours of normal usage, x360 barely goes beyond 4 hours.Īlso, the x360 makes a lot of noise and heats up a lot in that 4 hours. Whatever numbers both companies might claim on this one, our experience indicated that the MacBook Air clearly offers a superior battery life. The screen on the x360 can also swivel 360 degrees which allows the laptop to be used in a tablet mode (yes, the keyboard gets disabled when you do that). The HP x360 also comes with three USB ports and an HDMI port, while the MacBook sports just two USB ports. Although, it sports a much faster SSD instead of the traditional hard disk seen on the x360.

HP has packed the laptop with a 7th generation Core i5 processor, 8 gigs of DDR4 RAM, 1080p touch display (that rotates 360 degrees by the way) and 1TB of storage space.Īpple MacBook Air on the other hand comes with 2 generations older Core i5 (5th gen), 8 gigs of RAM, yes, but DDR3, a lower resolution display which doesn’t support touch and only 128GB of storage space. This one clearly goes to the HP Pavillion x360. Yes, the MacBook might seem slightly more premium, but that depends on an individual’s own perspective. However, when it comes to the build quality, we think both the laptops score well.

It is also thicker than the MacBook Air as can be seen in the pics below. At 1.66kg, the x360 isn’t exactly feather light. The x360, while sleek and light, is no match for the 1.35kg MacBook Air. However, comparing the two machines, it becomes evident that Applesteals the show here. HP has made significant effort to cut down on wasteful size and weight on the x360 and some of that can be clearly seen in the final product. Meanwhile, HP with its x360 Ultrabook has ensured that it isn’t one of another bulky Windows machines that isn’t going to win any beauty contests. The lightweight design, tapered edges to give it a thinner-than-actual appearance and premium build materials shout class all across. The MacBook Air is one of the most stylish and well built laptops out there and even after all these years, it has still managed to stay on top of the competition. So which one comes out at the top? Find out below. Luckily, we managed to get our hands on both the laptops and could compare them head to head.

Among the umpteen offerings available in the market, we thought it would be appropriate to compare two of the best machines in the segment – the old and faithful 13 inch Apple MacBook Pro and the recently launched HP Pavillion x360. The competition in the Ultrabooks segment under Rs 60,000 has just taken a turn towards interesting.
