If you're looking for a budget-friendly option for basic tasks like web browsing, document editing, and streaming, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is a suitable choice due to its lower cost. However, if you need a laptop for more demanding work such as photo editing, 3D modeling, or gaming, the Razer Book 13, albeit more expensive, will offer superior performance and build quality. The Razer Book also provides better portability with a smaller form factor and likely longer battery life, making it a good pick for those who are often on the move. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | December 2020
"The Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."
