Asus Transformer 3 Pro
I’ve never seen a Surface Pro competitor
look quite so similar to Microsoft's finest. The Asus Transformer 3 Pro
takes so many design cues from the Surface Pro 4 that I'd put money on the majority of people mistaking the device for something that has come straight out of Redmond.
Imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery and all that, but is the Transformer 3 Pro actually a worthy
competitor? From my initial impressions, I'd say "probably".
The two are near-identical when it comes to technical specifications. First up, the screen: Asus has fitted a 2,860 x 1,920 pixel display to the Transformer 3 Pro, narrowly pipping the 2,736 x 1,824 pixels on the Surface Pro 4. It may not be obvious, but the Asus machine is actually 0.4-inches larger than the Surface Pro 4, with a 12.6in diagonal.

It looks fantastic, not least because
of Asus’ quoted 121% sRGB colour gamut volume. The tablet will get an
optional Asus Pen stylus, too, which has 1,024 points of pressure
sensitivity – a boon for designers. There wasn’t a stylus on display at
the Asus booth, but judging by the pictures of the device, the pen
doesn’t appear to benefit from the same magnetic attachment as on the
Surface Pro 4.
The Transformer 3 Pro is 8.35mm thick without its keyboard dock and weighs 795g, putting it on a par with Microsoft’s tablet. It will ship with a keyboard dock as standard, however, giving it a one-up on Microsoft. The whole assembly feels very solid; Asus hasn’t cut costs in the build quality department.
Asus’ ZenBook range has proven enduringly popular with reviewers and
buyers alike, offering fantastic specifications and reasonable build
quality at a market-leading price.
With the ZenBook 3, announced alongside several other new devices at Computex today, Asus has produced a laptop that's thinner and lighter than any that have come before it. The ZenBook 3 is just 11.9mm thick and weighs 910g. That’s thinner and lighter than the ZenBook UX305.

Dell XPS 13 9350
Mere months ago Dell wowed me with its
first 2015 XPS 13 laptop. Featuring a slick design, powerful components
and a beautiful display the XPS 13 waltzed in and won the coveted TrustedReviews Awards Best Laptop award.
In fact, the XPS 13 was so good that I couldn’t think of any serious ways Dell could improve it at the time. But with the new year approaching, Dell has done just that with its latest XPS 13 refresh.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260
The Yoga 260 brings together two of
Lenovo's signature laptop lines. It combines the ThinkPad's business
features and design with the folding touchscreen of its Yoga devices.
Whether you're after a reliable workhorse or a versatile touchscreen
hybrid, the Yoga 260 should be the ideal device.
Available in a few configurations that begin at £899 and rise to £1,299, the Yoga 260 is competitively priced for a ThinkPad product. But is it the ultimate business ultraportable device?
