The MacBook Pro with Touch Bar has just been recently released, however, some people were not impressed due to the fact that there are a lot of laptops that are not so expensive but as powerful as the Apple device.

Take note that the MacBook Pro came out in three variants: the 13-inch with no Touch Bar is available at $1499; the 13-inch with Touch Bar has a price tag of $1799 and the 15-inch Touch Bar model is at $2399. These prices may be too much for others which made them decide to look for an alternative.

Microsoft Surface Book might be one of the most powerful laptop in the market and like the MacBook Pro 2016; it is not only good in the outside but also in the inside. Surface Book can function as laptop and at the same time tablet which makes it a very modern hybrid device.

The Surface Book model starts at $3,299, approximately two thousand dollars more than the MacBook Pro, but it definitely fails to frustrate those who are searching to purchase a device that offers top-quality performance and graphics.

Another laptop device that can also be an alternative to Apple's MacBook Pro is the HP Spectre x360 which is also a powerful hybrid laptop. It comes with a-hinge system that let the screen rotate up to 360 degrees.

"It's one of the first machines to use Intel's latest Kabylake architecture, offering a huge amount of future proofing power backed up by 8GB of RAM as the default option," as reported by Forbes.

The Dell XPS 13 is one of the best alternatives as it also runs the latest Kaby Lake processor with 8GB of Ram and 256 GB of internal storage. The device looks pretty as it has aluminium chassis and a slim body. It is packed with a battery that lasts for 10 hours. It sports an SD card reader and two regular USB ports, something that the new MacBook Pro lacks. In addition, it is cheaper compared to the Apple device. The XPS 13 starts at $1,119 while the MacBook Pro starts at #1,499.

There are plenty of MacBook Pro 2016 alternatives in the market; and aside from the three mentioned above, the Samsung Notebook 9 and Acer Aspire S 13 can also be choices.
