While Apple focuses on removing ports in favor of streamlined, USB-C only designs, Vaio does the complete opposite with the SX12. Despite its compact size — its 12.5" screen results in a form that's just 0.62" tall and 1.97 lbs. — it boasts an impressive number of ports. Going clockwise from the bottom left, you'll find a headphone jack, two USB 3.0 ports, a security lock slot, a power input, a VGA port, an Ethernet jack, an HDMI output, a USB Type-C port, a USB 3.1 port, and an SD card slot. With powerful Intel processors and SSD storage, it's an ideal choice for anyone looking to ditch the dongle.

Apple Mac Pro

Apple's last Mac Pro was powerful and impressive at launch... but turned out to be nearly impossible to expand or upgrade, much to the chagrin of those who needed it most. Its sequel should have no such problem. Its stainless steel frame with integrated handles and optional wheels was built specifically to allow for modularity and upgradability. An aluminum housing slides over the frame, hiding eight internal PCIe slots, an Intel Xeon processor with up to 28 cores, up to 300 watts of power, and a massive heat sink, a 1.4 kW power supply, and up to 1.5TB of RAM. Its graphics cards are held inside an MPX module that has a secondary slot for added power and Thunderbolt support, and the optional Afterburner video card is capable of processing 6 billion pixels per second, enabling playback of multiple 8K videos at once. For maximum effect, pair it with six of Apple's new 32-inch, 6K Retina Pro Display XDRs.

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo Laptop

Last year's ZenBook Pro added a screen inside its trackpad. The new Asus ZenBook Pro Duo goes even farther with its second screen. Dubbed the ScreenPad Plus, this 14" touchscreen matches up perfectly with the 15.6" 4K panel above, letting content seamlessly transition from one to the other. The keyboard is moved to the front, with the trackpad shifting to the right. A robust hinge lifts the rear of the bottom a bit, giving the keyboard a desktop feel, while available Intel Core i9 processors, Nvidia graphics, and up to 32GB of RAM offer desktop-class performance.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Foldable PC

Foldable phones are a thing. It only makes sense that PCs follow suit. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Foldable PC blurs the lines between tablet and laptop not by hiding a keyboard somewhere, but by letting the screen itself bend to a clamshell format. Powered by an Intel processor running a special version of Windows, it has a 13.3" OLED 2K display from LG that can fold in half, reducing its width by 50%. As you might expect, it's just a preview for now, but the company promises full details and availability in 2020.

Acer ConceptD PC Collection

Macs were once the preferred computer for creatives. With recent lags in updates and suspect keyboards, the door is open for others to fill that role — which is exactly what Acer aims to do with its new ConceptD line. On the desktop, it includes the $20,000 900, aimed at filmmakers, animators, and others who need maximum rendering power, as well as the more accessible yet still powerful 500. The laptop line includes the 17-inch, 3D-focused 9, the powerful 7, and the compact 5, all with Pantone Validated displays for the most accurate color possible. The same Pantone blessing has been given to the monitors, which include the 32-inch, 2D-focused CM7321K and the 27-inch, 3D-optimized CP7271K. Finally, the OJO Windows Mixed Reality Headset features a 4,320 x 2,160 display and a unique detachable design. The collection will begin rolling out in June.

Apple Retina MacBook Air

For years, the MacBook Air wasn't just the best Mac for most people, it was the best laptop for most people, period. The new Apple Retina MacBook Air aims to return it to its former glory. The design is much the same, but 10% thinner, a quarter pound lighter, and made from 100% recycled aluminum, reducing the laptop's carbon footprint by roughly 50%. The 13.3-inch display is upgraded to Retina resolution, and it's powered by an 8th-gen dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, has a TouchID sensor built into the power button, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, and comes in three finishes.

ThinkPad 25th Anniversary Edition

Few, if any, Windows PCs are as iconic as the ThinkPad. Originally released by IBM in 1992, and its boxy black design became an instant hit. Now Lenovo is honoring its debut with the ThinkPad 25th Anniversary Edition. Instantly recognizable, it retains the 7-row keyboard, blue Enter key, and red TrackPoint cursor control of the original, but packs in modern components like an Intel Core i7 processor, 14-inch Full HD touchscreen, SSD storage, and all-day battery life. Finished with retro logos and special throwback packaging.

Volta Computer

When buying a computer, you normally have two choices: buy something that looks good, or buy something that's upgradable. With the Volta V Computer, you don't have to choose. Its unibody chassis is cut from American hardwood, precision-machined, and then assembled and finished by hand. The components inside are laid out on a single level, protected by a magnetically-attached lid that makes upgrades and repairs easy. And its 5.5-inch height makes it not only ideal as a monitor stand but also lets you store your keyboard underneath. Available with a wide range of components, and with your choice of a bamboo or walnut case.

Endless OS was designed for emerging markets, but it's intuitive and powerful enough for use back home. The Mission One Computer is one of the first in a series of initiatives to bring it stateside. The small retangular computer has a tasteful design wrapped in sustainably-harvested bamboo. Inside, it's powered by a dual-core Intel Celeron processor, and has modest, yet respectable, specs, including HDMI output and modern wireless connectivity. Most importantly, though, it runs Endless OS, which means it's as easy to use as a smartphone, and includes over 100 apps and tools that work great even without an Internet connection.

The prior Envy Curved was a good desktop. It was just a little... ugly. The new HP Envy Curved AIO 34 Desktop has no such problem. Like the Envy AIO 27, it hides its key components in a sleek tabletop box, letting the Technicolor-certified Ultra WQHD micro-edge display float above your desk. The same box also serves as a quad-speaker sound bar, tuned by Bang & Olufsen for immersive sound, and for the paranoid out there, the Windows Hello-compatible camera and mic pop up only when in use, and stay hidden otherwise.

It's powered by Intel's latest Core M processors, and has two USB Type C ports, a machined aluminum shell, carbon fiber palm rest, support for the Dell Active Pen, and your choice of a Full HD or Quad HD+ display. In other words, what it loses in performance, it more than makes up for in versatility.

Apple MacBook Pro

It's been years since Apple redesigned the MacBook Pro. They've used the time wisely. The new Apple MacBook Pro is thinner, lighter, and smaller than the previous generation. The display comes in 13- and 15-inch varieties, and is brighter, has greater contrast, and displays more colors than before. Open it up, and you'll find a Force Touch trackpad that's twice as large, an all-new keyboard, and, most noticeably, the Touch Bar. It's a multi-touch display that replaces the function keys, dynamically changing depending on what you're doing, with a Touch ID-enabled power button hidden on the far-right side. Hidden inside, there are Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, Intel Iris or Radeon Pro graphics, even faster SSD storage, an all-new speaker design, and four Thunderbolt 3 ports that also support charging, USB-C, and video out. But most likely the first thing you'll notice is the color: in addition to the classic silver, the all-aluminum body will now be available in a subdued space gray.

The Apple 12-inch MacBook was already a lust-worthy object, weighing just two pounds and measuring only 13.1mm at its thickest point yet still offering up to 11 hours of battery life, a 12-inch Retina display, and a completely silent, fanless design. It just wasn't that great for actual work. The new model improves the situation, adding sixth-generation, dual-core Intel Core M processors with Turbo Boost speeds of up to 3.1 GHz, faster graphics, and speedier storage. It still has only one USB-C port, but that's less of a hassle than it was when it first launched, and for the fashion-conscious, it's now available in rose gold, alongside the prior silver, space gray, and gold finishes.

High-performance PC gaming requires a lot of power. More power than you can fit in a typical laptop. So instead of chaining you to a desk or selling you a pizza box-sized portable, the Razer Blade Stealth lets you have both a high-end gaming PC and an ultrathin laptop, thanks to a smart, simple compromise. The Intel Core i7-powered laptop sports a 12.5-inch high-res touchscreen, yet has an aluminum chassis that measures just over half an inch thick and lets the package weigh in at under three pounds. All of this makes for a capable laptop, but when it's time to game, you use the Thunderbolt 3 port to connect to your desk-bound, sold-separately Core, which houses a double-wide, full-length PCIe graphics card from your choice of AMD or Nvidia, as well as a host of extra ports, a beefy power supply, and plenty of heat dissipation. Portability when you want it, power when you need it — the computing equivalent of a mullet.
