The new overview from the researchers’ June report gives the Mac portables the lead in every size category, ranging from near-ultraportables up through desktop replacements. Consumer Reports’ study covers not only performance but design, versatility, the screen quality and battery life.

Everyone loves graphs, right? Notice the top two computers on the first one…
Consider just how wide the lead is here:
