RANKED: These are the best 13-inch laptops you can buy

If you’re looking for a 13-inch laptop with the right balance of performance, portability, and looks, your search is over.

The laptops in this list run on Intel’s powerful Core-i processors. You can find cheaper laptops, but they run on less powerful Core-M processors that are designed for mobile devices like tablets.

For Windows 10 laptops, we suggest you buy them from the Microsoft Store, so you can avoid annoying trial software and the manufacturer’s own software that bloats the computer’s storage and hampers its performance.

Check out the best laptops you can buy today.

10. The MacBook Air is ultra-slim, but it’s on the pricey side relative to its specs.

The MacBook Air is very slim, which we like. However, it’s relatively pricey for its specs, and its design could do with an overhaul, too.

Specs:

- 1440 x 900 screen

- 5th gen Intel Core i5 1.6GHz processor

- 8GB of RAM

- 128 GB of fast flash storage

Defining features:

- Slim design

- MagSafe magnetic power connector

Cons:

- Low resolution screen

- Design is slightly outdated

- Relatively expensive

- Runs on last year’s processor generation

- Base mondel can be underpowered for some

Starting price: $1,000

9. The Surface Book is the purest Microsoft experience, but it’s expensive.

The Microsoft Surface Book is a formidable machine that turns into a tablet with its removable keyboard. Its tall screen is also great for scrolling through web pages and work documents. Yet, it’s high price tag put the Surface Book towards the bottom of the list.

Specs:

- 3000 x 2000 resolution screen

- 6th gen Intel Core i5 6300U 2.4GHz

- 8GB of RAM

- 128 GB os fast SSD storage

Defining features:

- Pure Microsoft experience

8. The Dell XPS 13 is a solid laptop that looks great, but it might be underpowered for some.

The Dell XPS 13 is a beautiful laptop and works well despite its relatively pedestrian specs. Just be wary that because of it’s entry-level specs, you might be looking for a new laptop sooner than you’d like.

Tattoo-like 'e-skin' turns your body into digital screen

In a yet another example to integrate electronic devices with the human body, researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed an ultrathin, protective layer that will help create “electronic skin” displays of blood oxygen level, e-skin heart rate sensors for athletes and other applications.

The team demonstrated its use by creating an air-stable, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. Integrating electronic devices with the human body to enhance or restore body function for biomedical applications is the goal of researchers around the world. Wearable electronics, in particular, need to be thin and flexible to minimise impact where they attach to the body. However, most devices developed so far have required millimetre-scale thickness glass or plastic substrates with limited flexibility, while micrometer-scale thin flexible organic devices have not been stable enough to survive in air.
