14. MacBook Air overview
• Very good CPU and GPU, but emulating x86 Apps and programs is
not ideal and leads to performance loss
• The M1 Chip allows for this device to have by far the best battery
life of any of these laptops
• However, it does not have a good webcam or a touch screen

15. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Overview
• The lightest and mobile of the laptops
• Great touch screen and pen input, good for artists and taking
notes
• However, the lack of an attached keyboard leads to diffuclties
when used on the lap

16. Google Pixelbook Go Overview
• Cheap, good battery life, small size
• Integrated connections into the G-Suite (Docs, Slides, etc.)
• However, poor performance and the lack of desktop apps holds it
back from being a true desktop replacement as the other two are

18. Recommendation
Because of its overall strength in all categories, we have chosen the MacBook Air
M1 as the best Laptop at this time.
Its incredible battery life and performance was truly outstanding compared the competition.
